The Legend Of Josh Rosen: Ucla Vs. Texas A&m

That was ****ing insane. He had a few lucky plays, but some of those throws were insane. And quite a few great plays under pressure.

I hope to hear he had a few lucky plays a lot more. Go back and look at Brady and Wilson and the kid in KC. A lot of those QBs benefit from lucky plays.
 
That's what stood out to me: the quick release under pressure. That line was consistently beaten at the snap, and he got rid of the ball quickly. That should fit well in the offense O'Shea is trying to run. Especially since the line play will be atrocious next season.
 
The throws under constant pressure were crazy.

All the more remarkable that he was the 10th pick in draft playing on that shitty team.

Josh Rosen goes 1st overall if he went to USC.

Darnold is a 4th rounder at UCLA.
 


He’s got a bit of gun slinger in him. He has excellent form and mechanics, an exceptional thrower of the football. Needs a bit of help on the Oline and a bit of coaching up, but he definitely has potential. Definitely worth giving a shot to. There are some throws me makes that remind me a bit of Aaron Rodgers. Now, I’m not saying he’s as good as Rodgers, but there is some pretty significant talent on display there. I’m actually excited to see how this season plays out now. Want to see what we have here. He might be the best prospect we’ve had here since Dan Marino retired.

How would you rate is eye discipline? It might be my imagination but it does seem like he stares down his intended target.
 
That’s the type of game that elevates you as a player. The confidence, the big stage, that’s why the big boys in the top programs are coveted. That being said, you will always wonder what a Tagovailoa does with that kind of pressure, and a second tier line of talent around him. Rosen looked really good there and is a proven guy that is capable of raising the team around him, not the other way around. He’s got the moxy.
 
I think once he gets a few years in the same system, and things slow down for him, he'll be very effective. Especially if he has a decent run threat that keeps defenses honest and opens up the play action game.

UCLA went 6-7 that year. And the cardinals went 3-13. Capable of raising the team around him?

Ever since we traded for him I’ve watched a fair amount of his throws both with the cardinals and with UCLA. And sometimes he does seem to stare down his target a bit, but what I have noticed is that this is sort of offset by two things, number one he has a quick release, and number two, he seems to prefer the deep routes. He seems to prioritize watching the deeper routes develop 1st and when he is successful he unleashes a laser with a quick release. So, even though he is staring down that route, his quick release and the velocity he puts on the ball as well as his focus on the deeper route(s) seems to negate some of the risk of him zeroing in on a certain receiver or route. Some of the throws seem ill advised, which isn’t uncommon for QBs who can thread the needle, however there are also some other times where you do see him go through his 2nd and 3rd progression.

One thing the NE offense does is they use Tight Ends, Hbacks/Fullbacks etc. in the passing game a lot. Both to pass protect, help in the run game, and in the pass game for passes down the seam and out of the flat. If you look at the FB and RB we drafted, both of those guys Can run, block, and catch, so I would imagine that the coaching staff will work with rosen to develop a short and quick passing game that takes advantage of the tight ends and backs to go along with his deep ball, make the defense defend every blade of grass and keep them off balance. This could also help schematically with some of the weaknesses or uncertainty of our Oline by having FB, RB, & TE who can block and help with protection and then roll out and catch a pass out of the backfield, whether it’s a screen or a dump off or down the seam. Then again, every man has a plan until he gets punched in the face as Mike Tyson says.

However, unlike Tannehill, I don’t think throwing deep in terms of preference or accuracy will be a problem as long as he has enough protection to allow the route to develop and get the ball off before he gets clobbered.

I’ve totally changed my perspective on this coming season, I’m excited to see what we have here.

Awesome, thanks for that, absolutely needed to see that type of game, where things were not going well for him in the beginning, and how he would handle it.

It's good to see your QB look really good, and in total control in a game where things are going great for him, but when your QB makes a rediculous comeback in a game where everything was going wrong in the 1st half...That is special.
