Raiders fans have low confidence that Mendoza starts 10 games

The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Fernando Mendoza with plans for him to take the reins as the starting quarterback. John Spytek and Klint Kubiak believe in the young quarterback and what he can do for the franchise in the future.

When it comes to putting him on the football field, the team wants to make sure he is ready. That’s why the team brought in Kirk Cousins as a stopgap quarterback until they feel he is fully up to speed. During the preseason, Mendoza had ups and downs, which is why they thought Cousins should start early.

The question now becomes: when does Mendoza get the starting job? The number of games he plays this year will help him reach his potential earlier, where he can learn while the bullets are flying.

In this week’s SB Nation Reacts, we ask Raider Nation if Mendoza will start 10 games. Raider Nation doesn’t have faith it will happen, with only 25% agreeing he will start 10 games.

If Mendoza does get into the starting lineup, you would expect him to have the job for the rest of the season. Fans expect to wait a long time for that to happen.
