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

Weird obsessions with a mediocre (then) and completely washed (now) QB. And why? Only bc he's wearing Silver n Black.

You should have seen this forum in 78 when we signed Plunkett.

Cousins is a means to an end, and like other sacrificial lambs over the years, I hope he survives long enough to get the kinks out of the Oline so we can have the future take over. He was not my first choice by any means but him taking the lumps just extends the mileage for Mendoza by a few games. I might even enjoy watching the strategy employed in how they play Cousins setting up the offense.

This forum has been around since '78?

a lot of raiderfans go far beyond 1978 though

cousins is a nice placeholder for fernando, will be a great backup and potential trade candidate also

Cousins looked 100% done in Atlanta the last couple years. A shell of his former average self.
Why people are even sipping cool-aide on this guy is beyond me.

See above. Bc he's wearing Silver n Black. That's it. If he was starting on any other team in the AFC West, they'd be celebrating. It's the same ones that fell for Geno too.

It was never thought of as a walk in the park when facing a team where Cousins was going to be the QB. Even if we won, we never went in thinking it was a gimmie because he was semi dangerous.

That's fair, but I would say that was pre-achillies, but he's has more time past that now which is considered good, but now he's old. +1 -1 +1 -1.

Yeah he has had a solid career but he really has looked like he is finished lately. I have no problem with the signing as they are obviously not wanting to rush Mendoza into action. I think he can help Mendozas transition and make it a lot smoother but I am not expecting much from Cousins on the field. I honestly think the team doesn't either

LMAO. Cousins will have about as much trade value as half a box of slim-jims.

I could have a slim jim

"The other team's QB must go down, and he must go down hard."

Surely another team will lose their QB for several games, so depending on how well Cousins plays before FM takes over, another team could very well be interested in acquiring Cousins. And if that happens, Cousins, the team that acquires him, as well the Raiders could all benefit.
