Kirk Cousins traded to the Vikings.
it’s Fernando’s time in Las Vegas!
Let’s go Fernando!
That's Vegas, baby!
I’m nervous but excited for him.
He'll struggle. But I'm sure it'll help him heading in to next season.
Good for him. They must think he is ready and a great opportunity for LV to pick up some headway. Going to be fun to watch. I hope we can get in some of their games!
@walt542 Its kinda crazy, because Cousins was playing very well, overall... and the Raiders are still very much in the mix to make the playoffs. I'm not sure how Mendoza would have proven he's ready, its my understanding once the season starts, the starters get basically all the reps in practices.
@iunorth Raiders aren't in the playoff mix
They still have the Seahawks and 3 division games with the Broncos (x2), and the Chiefs on the schedule too.
At least this way they got something for Cousins vs. him walking away at the end of a 1 year contract.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

As a Vikings fan, I am so freaking stoked about this. Watching one of the best defenses I've seen in years just constantly be dragged down by having zero support from the QB position all season has been painful. All they need is serviceable work there to really have a chance at dominating the rest of the regular season.
Plus, as a bonus, I get to watch Fernando finally kick his career off proper? This is just gravy for me.
I sold my Colts tickets so I can stay home and watch Fernando! I’ll be severely hung over from the IU game the day before though too is the main reason!
