If the Raiders lose to the spiraling Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the fans begging to see number one pick Fernando Mendoza take the reins could finally get their wish. At that point, it might be time to start thinking about 2027 and beyond because the team isn't winning despite the 38-year-old quarterback playing well.

No. 1 pick Mendoza poised to start if Raiders lose to Rams this week.

Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, is positioned to take over as Raiders starter if the team loses to the Rams and falls below .500. The organization views him as the long-term future and will prioritize giving him experience and building for 2027 over continuing with 38-year-old Kirk Cousins, even though Cousins has played well; Mendoza's opportunity is imminent if Vegas' losing streak continues.
