Kirk Cousins has been more than adequate in Las Vegas after struggling in Atlanta; with time to throw in Clint Kubiak's offense and an improved offensive line anchored by center Tyler Linderbaum, Cousins is a very capable, very good quarterback. Every win he records buys more time on the bench for number one overall pick Fernando Mendoza, allowing the Raiders to develop him without rushing him into NFL defenses before he's ready.PositiveProjectionSep 22, 2026
Cousins wasn't good enough in Atlanta but is more than adequate in Las Vegas; he is playing well and is a veteran quarterback who is a steadying presence; every time he wins, he buys himself more time and buys the Raiders' number one overall pick Fernando Mendoza more time on the bench, which is good for the long run.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
Kirk Cousins is confirmed as the starter for the Raiders' opener against the Dolphins, but his long-term hold on the position is uncertain and depends on early-season performance and team wins.
