There's actually a real QB battle in @Raiders camp. I still believe Kirk gets the opener, but it's not etched in stone. Fernando has a real chance to win the job.

Mendoza has real chance to win QB job; ahead of schedule in Raiders competition.

Vincent Bonsignore reports the Raiders have an official quarterback competition, and while Kirk Cousins is expected to get the opener, Mendoza is ahead of schedule with a real chance to win the job. The source emphasizes that regardless of the preseason outcome, Mendoza is the future for the Raiders. In the preseason game, his footwork, ability to run the offense from under center, acclimation to NFL game speed, quick processing and decision-making, and ability to feel and evade the rush will be on display as he competes to overtake Cousins.
