## Resource

The Raiders face a pivotal QB decision as training camp begins: veteran Kirk Cousins or rookie phenom Fernando Mendoza. With Mendoza boasting elite college stats and a strong PFF grade, the team’s choice could define their future. Veteran Marcus Allen backs the developmental approach, while star Maxx Crosby urges the rookie to stay authentic in a league of hardened pros. The path forward hinges on whether Mendoza gets the starting nod—or the chance to learn behind the veteran. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
