Agreed … but the production was so far apart I don't see Rosen starting. And honestly, I don't think he should. If we're investing a 2nd into this kid, we should give him a chance. That means him and the team learning the system before throwing him into the deep end of the pool. Remember when Gase arrived, the offense was tremendously better after the first 5 weeks. That was with the same personnel. I'm expecting a similar learning curve for the team this year … and I'd prefer Rosen to come in after the rest of the offense has bumbled its way to competency.Tampa also had an elite receiver core though, az had an old Fitzgerald and a running back coming off a major injury.
IMHO, it really is the best chance we can give Rosen. In Arizona he was thrown into the deep end of the pool with a supporting cast that didn't get it done, and he failed miserably. There's no need to do that to him again.
