To truly get the best out of Cousins, dialing up formations that put the heady and experienced quarterback right behind center Tyler Linderbaum to get the snap is the route Kubiak must take...

Cousins' under-center expertise and play-action mastery position him for success in Kubiak's 2026 offense.

Cousins enters 2026 as the Raiders' definitive starting QB at age 37, with 2025 stats of 166-of-269 (61.7% completion), 1,721 yards, 10 TDs, 5 INTs over 8 starts. The source emphasizes his fit in Kubiak's under-center, play-action-centric offense, noting his 14-year history of thriving with direct snaps, strong pre-snap reading ability, and handoff-fake deception. Cousins' intelligence and arm strength are highlighted as essential to executing Kubiak's run-pass balance scheme and getting elite tight end Brock Bowers the ball frequently.
