Now, one of Fernando Mendoza's strengths at Indiana was throwing under duress. So, I don't think it's a 100% lock that the Raiders would have lost last week if Mendoza was starting.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Mendoza's under-duress strength wouldn't guarantee Week 2 loss, but rookie inexperience is a concern.

In a hypothetical scenario where Mendoza started instead of Cousins in Week 2, one of his strengths at Indiana was throwing under duress, so the outcome wouldn't have been a lock loss. However, a rookie quarterback making his second career start and getting hit 10 times doesn't equate to a winning formula on the surface.
