00:00Raiders choose Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback this year right move for the Raiders
00:07not to put Fernando Mendoza out there right away I think it's the right move in terms of the
00:13development if they felt Fernando Mendoza was not ready to go then you have a veteran in Cousins
00:18which I thought was one of the smarter signings in the offseason because you don't always see
00:23teams with number one overall pick draft a quarterback and have a bridge guy ready to go
00:27and Kirk Cousins is more than just a bridge he's a guy that's been in the league for more than
00:32a
00:32decade and has been there done that for many different teams at the end of the day I think
00:37Mendoza becomes a starter after a couple of weeks look no further than the team we just talked about
00:41the New England Patriots did not start Drake May right away and it was just a constant ticking
00:47question of at what point is Mayo going to go to Mayo go to May and he eventually did and
00:54I think
00:54that's what's going to happen it's not like Vegas is going to go out there and start five and oh
00:57under
00:58Cousins they may win week one because they play the pathetic Dolphins but after that as soon as
01:03they start losing and the Raiders become the Raiders again I think you're going to see all right the
01:07season's lost let's throw Mendoza in there and see what he's got but at the beginning keep in mind Dan
01:13you're you're zero and zero there there is a chance the Raiders get off to a hot start with a
01:17veteran
01:17quarterback and a great running back and a new regime maybe they do get off to a hot start and
01:22make a run
01:23but they won't so once that run is squashed and they're two and six they'll go to Mendoza
01:29yeah I've been a big fan of Kirk Cousins I think you look at the year years that he has
01:35had all the
01:354,000 yard passing seasons maybe one of the more underrated quarterbacks not elite but he's surely
01:42one of the better quarterbacks that can throw the ball from the pocket there
01:44you
