Mike Greenberg warns Raiders on risky quarterback situation with Mendoza

Mike Greenberg warns the Las Vegas Raiders about the risks of starting rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza too soon. Currently, Kirk Cousins is designated as the starting QB, with Mendoza as the backup. Domonique Foxworth expressed that Cousins must perform effectively, or Mendoza could be thrust into action early in the season. Greenberg cautioned that rushing Mendoza could lead to long-term negative consequences for both his career and the team’s performance, emphasizing that a cycle of failure could emerge if winning is not prioritized. The Raiders face a critical decision moving forward.
