## Resource

Raiders roll with Kirk Cousins to start Week One, sidelining top pick Fernando Mendoza—until maybe November 1st against the Jets. Analysts see that game as a potential inflection point: if the team’s struggling with losses and turnovers, pressure could force a QB change sooner. But timing hinges on how fast the defense and line gel under new coaching—and how much time Mendoza needs to prove himself. Experts say he’ll need at least seven to eight games (roughly two months) for a solid sample, making the Jets matchup a logical, low-stakes entry point. The plan? Give him time to develop without rushing him into high-stakes battles early, then let him play ten full games to show what he’s made of.
