I give the Raiders props for bringing Kirko in...

I wouldn’t call it a competition in Vegas. More like, I’m keeping the seat warm until the Nandolorian is ready.

This is the way.

I don't think Mendoza sees the field this year. I think he would have to have a Dan-Marino type training camp to unseat Cousins. That's an offense that can win a few games with Cousins, Jeanty, Bowers, Nailor and Linderbaum...if'n they had a defense.

I agree it was a great idea to bring in Kirk. Perfect for what they need. This is definitely what they need this year for Mendoza. The Raiders have kind of a sneaky offense this year.

Its silly in Cleveland: Watson is a far superior QB than Sanders. I think Tua's accuracy is going to be tough to sit behind Penix....that will turn out to be the case in Minnesota as well with Murray (the ol' wink wink Qb comp). Its no competition in Vegas, sit Mendoza and start Kirko...that's strategic, not competitive. What has surprised me is how long and big Mendoza is.....bigger than I gave him credit for. The dude is 6'5", a solid 236 lbs.
