Cousins signs with Raiders
I don't love this. I get it, but I don't love it.

Usually the guy who is penciled in as the starter gets a few reps in the first couple games to get his timing down. We are in an unusual situation as we have brought in a vet with a larger number of starts in his career and will also be drafting the top QB in the draft. I anticipate Cousins gets the nod in the first game with Mendoza doing a lot of clean up work. But we will have a couple other QBs on the roster to finish games. Not sure how this plays out but my guess is that Cousins gets a drive in each of the first two games and Mendoza gets the rest of the first half. The camp fodder guys get the second half to get beat up.RickRyb wrote: Wed Apr 08, 2026 11:53 am Preseason will be interesting. Will Cousins play a possession or two and then Mendoza play the rest of the half? Will Cousins and Mendoza both play a quarter or more with the starters? Will preseason be a "true" QB competition or are their starting roles already penciled in?

After listening to his presser I feel like a jerk hating on him, seems like a really good dude. I can see why he’s gotten so many teams to throw so much money at him. Minus the ATL deal that was way too rich of a deal.

Well, it's nice to see that humans never changeAttyla wrote: Wed Apr 08, 2026 11:55 am No, I do know how I feel. I have not waivered once on what I want. I, however, am just an interested observer in this as I know who makes the calls.

They do, but in my case any change I would make would be based on evidence that a change is needed. That has not happened as of yet.

There has been zero to change my opinion. We will not have anything for months. Words in an interview where a guy is saying all the right things is not action. He looked horrible last year, he is 47 years old and he has never been proven to be able to mentor a guy. Penix liking him means little. My eyes are wide open and whet I saw last year was a guy on a steep decline.

Kirk stinks. Mendoza will outplay him from Day 1. Unfortunately, the staff may still start Cousins in Week 1. I pray that isnt the case.

There’s not a world where Cousins possesses more talent than Mendoza from day one.mstrbass2000 wrote: Wed Apr 08, 2026 4:09 pm kubiak will give cousins every chance to start but talent reigns supreme and i see fernando rising to the top for season play wk 1

Probably gone on long enough now, I've posted exclusively the lyrics from a Disney cartoon in responses the past four pages after someone made reference to Aidan being a demigod. Some just like to argue :)
