From the episode

I think that this is totally dependent, not upon Kirk Cousins play, but everything else around Kirk Cousins. Does the offensive line look like it's improved or is it still God awful?

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Cousins' starting role is volatile and tied to the Raiders' overall team success.

Derek Brown projects Kirk Cousins' tenure as the Raiders' starter is highly volatile and dependent on the team's overall performance, noting that Cousins lacks velocity due to age and injury history. The source suggests Cousins may be benched if the Raiders' offense remains a 'dumpster fire' or if he struggles against a difficult early-season schedule.
