I don't love this. I get it, but I don't love it.

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.mstrbass2000 wrote: Tue Apr 14, 2026 11:29 am kirk cousins to a playoff calibre team that just lost their starting qb if gonna bring a high pick back tot he raiders at the trade deadline

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.

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.chucker wrote: Fri Apr 17, 2026 5:38 am 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.
