Las Vegas Raiders Rebuild with New Coach and QB

The Las Vegas Raiders are rebuilding after a 3-14 season with new coach Klint Kubiak and QB Fernando Mendoza.

Are the Raiders buying what Klint Kubiak is selling?

Klint Kubiak brings a winning vibe to the Raiders, having won a Super Bowl as offensive coordinator of the Seahawks.

The Raiders' rookie head coach emphasizes learning the team's proud history.

And Kubiak rewarded players with the iconic Raiders logo on their helmets after minicamp.

When will Fernando Mendoza start?

Fernando Mendoza's start is uncertain, with veteran QB Kirk Cousins likely to bridge the gap.

Kubiak said Cousins is getting healthier and played well in his last four games in Atlanta.

Mendoza won the national championship at Indiana and brings a winning mentality to the team.

The Raiders signed Kirk Cousins this offseason, and he will likely start as QB1.

What comes next for the Las Vegas Raiders?

The Raiders will head into training camp with questions about their roster and coaching staff.

Klint Kubiak's experience as a coach will be crucial in shaping the team's culture.

And the team's performance in the preseason will be closely watched.

The Raiders haven't made the postseason in five years, and they've only been to the playoffs twice in the last 23 years.

Kubiak's focus on the team's history and culture could be a key factor in their success.

The Raiders will look to turn around their season with a new coach and QB.
