00:00I think that Kirk Cousins starting for the Vegas Raiders is a mistake.
00:05And I know this is where Clint Kubiak is leaning.
00:09And I know that Kirko is everybody's favorite guy.
00:12And I like Kirk Cousins.
00:15You know, I loved him in Washington and Minnesota.
00:18Come on.
00:19What are we doing here?
00:20Stop.
00:21Anyone who watched Kirk Cousins play the last two years in Atlanta, he's shot.
00:25And you want Kirk Cousins as a backup quarterback?
00:28You know, fresh set of eyes, you know, savvy veteran, you know, for Fernando Mendoza, that's great.
00:34Fernando Mendoza should be given every opportunity to be the week one starter.
00:37The Raiders don't have to be that bad.
00:40And when you draft the quarterback number one overall with this pedigree who just won a championship
00:43and just won the Heisman, who maximized great talent, who played for Kirk Cignetti,
00:48Fernando Mendoza has it.
00:50Everything you want at the quarterback position.
00:52Why would you put him in bubble wrap?
00:55I mean, I went nuts last year and the Giants mishandled Jackson Dart.
00:59Not every situation is the same, right?
01:01This is how I feel about Mendoza.
01:03With Tyler Lindenbaum now at center, who they got from the Ravens.
01:06I think Ashton Jenthi is going to have a monster season.
01:09Brock Bauer is going to have a monster season.
01:10Best tight end in the NFL.
01:12The defense with Max Crosby.
01:14Let Mendoza play for Kubiak.
01:16Let him work out the kinks.
01:18I think Clint Kubiak, that's akin to when Ben Johnson got hired by the Bears.
01:22That kind of impact instantly on offense, on the quarterbacks, on the X's and O's, on the entire team.
01:28I hate that this is even a battle.
01:31I can allow it for a minute.
01:33You want to let Mendoza earn it.
01:36You know, first training camp, head might be swimming a little bit.
01:39Fine.
01:39I want Fernando Mendoza starting week number one under center for the Raiders.
