The case for starting Mendoza: 'The Raiders starting Kirk Cousins makes sense. But short of a miracle, Fernando Mendoza has to play,' the California Post's Vincent Bonsignore posted on X/Twitter promoting his column. 'He was drafted No. 1 to play, not follow someone else's timeline.'

Bonsignore: Mendoza must play despite Cousins; drafted No. 1 to play, not follow timeline.

Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post argues that despite the Raiders starting Kirk Cousins making sense, Fernando Mendoza must play: 'short of a miracle, Fernando Mendoza has to play.' Bonsignore emphasizes that Mendoza was drafted No. 1 overall to play, not to follow someone else's timeline, drawing a comparison to Brady and Mahomes' own development journeys. Amy Trask, CBS Sports the source, frames the decision as needing to be collaborative between head coach Klint Kubiak, GM John Spytek, and the scouting staff.
