Kubiak Said, There Will Never Be a Perfect Game

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak downplayed rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza's shaky practice performance on Monday, calling it part of the learning curve. Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, struggled with accuracy during 11-on-11 drills, including a throw that put wide receiver Malik Benson in a dangerous spot, and also dealt with snap and ball-control issues. Kubiak said, There will never be a perfect game or practice.

I think he is doing a good job. I don't expect him to be perfect right now. He added that handling low or high snaps is part of the quarterback's job.

Mendoza's college résumé at Indiana includes a 16-0 season, a national title, and a Heisman Trophy, with 3,535 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Raiders signed veteran Kirk Cousins this offseason, and Kubiak named him the starter for training camp, giving Mendoza a mentor with 14 years of NFL experience and familiarity with Kubiak's system from their time in Minnesota. Tom Brady's minority ownership also adds to the quarterback room's depth.
