If only it weren't Skip f'n Bayless, I'd put a bit more stock in what was said.

For a long time, to me he has been more times than not, a reverse barometer for just about every subject.

I think its a possibility. Cousins would QB a playoff bound team and Mendoza will take over.
Everyone wins.

That may be the best case scenario.

Had an interview up on tv of Cousins and the wife glanced over and said whoever that is looks like a serial killer. I cannot unsee it now.

Personally after the turmoil of the last few years I want more options at QB not less. Yes it’s ideal that Mendoza is the guy. I also want depth at QB.

An understated element of the Cousins addition is not the mentorship of Mendoza, but of accelerating the development of the rest of the offense in Kubiak's system. Mendoza is learning the system, but so is everyone else.

It’s almost like having another coach honestly that is at the end of his career but still able to cleat up

And he can QB/coach it on the field until everyone is comfortably up to game speed with it. When it’s running well Fernando can take over. I didn’t want him at firs, but have changed my mind.
