The quarterback controversy arrives with confidence.
Mendoza’s tireless work ethic has him already looking better than Cousins in practice. The Raiders’ plan to groom Mendoza by having him sit behind Cousins may not be justified if he’s outperforming him. This creates a dilemma for the team, especially if veteran players start to question the decision. The Raiders may have a problem on their hands, one that’s both good and bad.
Mendoza’s impressive performance is already causing a stir, and it’s only a matter of time before the team has to make a decision.
