Fernando Mendoza still competing for Raiders Week 1 role

The article discusses the Las Vegas Raiders’ ongoing quarterback competition during the preseason, with rookie Fernando Mendoza striving to earn the starting role. Head coach Klint Kubiak emphasized that no player should feel secure, leaving an open opportunity for Mendoza to overtake veteran Kirk Cousins if he demonstrates consistent improvement, avoids mistakes, and shows leadership qualities. Mendoza’s early struggles, including an interception returned for a touchdown, are viewed as part of his development, with an emphasis on learning from errors and showing progress in key areas such as decision-making, command, and protection of the football. Despite Cousins’ experienced advantage, Mendoza still has a chance to impress the coaching staff before the official decision is made.
