Raiders still not ready to name starting quarterback after final preseason game
Kirk Cousins has put points on the board in all three of his preseason drives.
The Las Vegas Raiders have not yet named a starting quarterback after their final preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers, leaving them with a significant decision as Week 1 approaches in just two weeks. Coach Klint Kubiak has not made a choice, stating he needs to review game footage and discuss it as a team. Despite hints earlier in the offseason favoring veteran quarterback Fernando Mendoza over the No. 1 pick, Mendoza's performance in the loss to the 49ers was not impressive, while Kirk Cousins stood out.
With the preseason complete, Cousins now has the statistical edge over Mendoza, and he remains confident that his role will be confirmed soon. The starting quarterback position is crucial for the Raiders moving forward, and sorting it out quickly is a priority before the regular season begins.
