Fernando Mendoza had a rough night against the Houston Texans. The Raiders' No. 1 overall pick finished 8-of-15 for 86 yards and threw an 80-yard pick-six, as Las Vegas fell behind 20-3 before rallying for a 22-20 preseason victory.
On this episode of the FnA Show, Adam Auslund and Kevin Figgers break down Mendoza's performance and ask the bigger question: Why rush to name a starting quarterback?
The guys discuss why the competition between Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins is actually a good thing for the Raiders, why the team doesn't need to make a decision yet, and why starting the veteran Cousins could ultimately be the smarter move for the Raiders in 2026.
Kubiak has made it clear the quarterback competition is still open, with one preseason game remaining before the Raiders head toward the regular season.
