sderk 1,040 Posted January 9, 2019 Remember when during the draft the guy felt all disrespected at not getting picked until 10 overall? Rosen told reporters he was "pissed" and "really angry" he wasn't chosen in the top 3, His quote: "There were nine mistakes ahead of me." I wonder how he feels about that now? I don't put it all on Rosen, but, if you are going to talk like that, you better put up better than a 55.2 completion % with a 5.8 yards per attempt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted January 9, 2019 Definitely came off as a complete douche. Will be interesting to see if his rough first year taught him any humility. I think it's just how he put it, right? "Nine mistakes"? As a Bear's fan, I am extremely happy with Roquan Smith. And I bet Andrew Luck is still doing cartwheels haven gotten Nelson on that line. Heck, the Bills and the Jets are just as bad as Arizona but I at least saw Darnold and Allen show some flashes this year that I did not see from Rosen. By the way, Nelson should get rookie of the year consideration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,067 Posted January 9, 2019 I'm definitely glad Bills took Allen instead of Rosen. Allen certainly has work to do, but he comes across as an earnest, hard working, blue collar type of guy. Perfect fit for Buffalo. As a Bills fan I would find it difficult to have to root for that arrogant punk Rosen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 569 Posted January 9, 2019 He had the worst rookie year by far of the 5 1st round QBs selected. The NFL is littered with QBs who struggled mightily their first year and became good and sometimes great players. This next season is huge for him, if he doesn't show marked improvement it could be bust city 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's going to simplify the reads. These young QBs aren't being asked to read a defense like Brady and Brees are doing. Coaches are making it simple and teaching the QBs to run an enhanced college system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lesjroza 70 Posted January 10, 2019 The Cardinals are as ripe a team for a trade down from #1 as any I can recall because they need help everywhere but none greater than OL. Rosen needs time in the pocket and DJ needs blockers. Trade down and take 5 OL in the 1st three rounds and hope you hit on a few..............forget about best available crap when you need OL to keep the best players on the team from being completely erased. As an aside I'm not sure anyone can evaluate Rosen as a rookie QB with that OL. (I'm not saying he will be any good, just how can you possibly tell?) What would DJs excuse be.............. lost his juice from one year to the next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top talent is on the defensive side and there isn't a lot of drop off in picks 1-5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted January 10, 2019 I said it another thread but it bears repeating: I liked Rosen the best of all rookie qbs coming out this year. Get him some (any) protection and he will impress. Everyone is saying DJ wasn't used properly and is still a top 5 talent while throwing Rosen under the bus for his completion % and ypa. Cards oline was terribad. Also some team is gonna fall in love at the combine and AZ will be able to trade back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted January 10, 2019 You want your QB thinking it, not saying it. Fine line between confidence and arrogance. I agree with this. As far as Trubisky, I think he has been concentrating on achieving what he is being asked to do with his talent. He is a unique situation that you don't see often in the NFL. He had such little college experience that he needs to just keep focusing on his work and not let anything else get in the way. The guy doesn't come out and talk a lot to the public, and when he is interviewed it's hard to read him. He's strictly business. Which I like a lot. Flat out saying at the draft that there were 9 mistakes made before he was drafted was immature as can be. Ryan Leaf had a bunch of that in him when he was playing.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted January 10, 2019 You want your QB thinking it, not saying it. Fine line between confidence and arrogance. Nah, I will take it either way. It's ok for an assh0le coach like Mike Zimmer to publicly rip his kicker and destroy his confidence, but Mayfield and Rosen need to be PC?

I don't agree with that I don't think these guys have to be nice, but I would prefer if they prove themselves first. The part I do like about it, the NFL is simply another form of entertainment, and if there were no "bad" guys to root against, that wouldn't be as much fun.

sderk 1,040 Posted January 11, 2019 Cardinals should see if they can trade a draft pick and Rosen for Foles. I'm not certain but didn't Foles already have a shot at starting QB somewhere else? Plus, he would get killed in that Arizona offense. Just as any other QB would. Arizona is best off forgetting about QB until they can get an oline that is better than bottom 3 in the league.

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted January 11, 2019 I have no problem with Foles getting a shot at being a starting QB next year, but saying the 30 year old should get his shot with the Cards and they give up a draft pick doesn't make any sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
