Fernando Mendoza eventually taking over as the Raiders' starting quarterback seems inevitable, so much so that the only question is a matter of when it occurs. Kirk Cousins doesn't appear to be in any terrible hurry to hand the position to him, exhibiting the emotions and precision of someone ready to secure the spot entering Las Vegas' season. "I think in this league, it’s kind of one day at a time," Cousins said. "You’re only as good as your last throw, your last practice. You try to every day go out and earn that opportunity and never take anything for granted." Coach Klint Kubiak made national news on the eve of training camp that Cousins would be the starter when practices began, but he was stating the obvious. Cousins ran the first-team offense in organized team activities and minicamp and there was no indication that would change entering camp. Kubiak also made it clear at the time that he expected Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell to push Cousins, noting Friday he thought that position was off to a good start this camp.

"That’s the goal, and I think they’ve done that in these first three practices. Every guy is doing something good every day, and it makes the other guy want to stay after practice a little bit longer to work on that throw that they missed."

He has punched his fist in the air after throwing a touchdown pass and gotten into some verbal back and forth with the defense. "I think I’ve always kind of been pretty spirited and competitive in practice and kind of have a little inner fire," Cousins said. "Sometimes I can be relatively calm, but if you rattled the cage, then maybe you’ll see a little different guy. Sometimes it’s good then to get my cage rattled because it brings out the best in me." The Raiders brought in Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowler entering his 15th season, to be a bridge rather than hand the offense directly to a rookie. Cousins is playing for a guaranteed $20 million, though his former club, Atlanta,… [TheTopNews] Read More.50 mins ago - Dak Prescott ‘manifesting’ Cowboys’ Super Bowl chances; here&#...
