It went far beyond that. Ryan Tannehill was shocked when he actually won something of consequence. It was never part of his expectation. That's why it was so ill advised to draft him that high. He played at a high school with a very mediocre football history. Tannehill bounced around from position to position there. Texas A&M was favored in all but one game when Tannehill was a senior. But Tannehill never seemed to view it that way. He blew one second half lead after another and merely jogged off the field as it happened, en route to a 7-6 season. When we upset the Patriots at home near the end of his second season I immediately emphasized that Tannehill's reaction was incredibly troubling. He was running around the field in disbelief, as if to say, "I can't believe this is happening to ME!" I believe I used almost exactly those words at the time.
Jeff Ireland wouldn't have a clue about anything like that. I doubt he looked at Tannehill's high school record or star rating at all. He applied tunnel vision priority to stuff like mechanics and arm strength and accuracy. Not to discount those but with premier picks you need the entire package. IMO, that means always elite in relation to his peers. Instead, Tannehill was a lifelong Crowd player yet somehow we wasted 7 years pretending he would turn into something he had never been, and never really aspired to.
With Josh Rosen, at least there is a chance. As a junior in high school he led Bosco to an undefeated season including a famous upset of legendary De La Salle in the title game. I realize California high school football is not well known on sites like this, as opposed to somewhere like a USC board where this would read as cliche. De La Salle had won several state titles in a row and had a ridiculous winning streak entering that game. I'm not going to look it up but I know it had been something like 4 or 5 years since they lost a game to a California school.
Add that type of accomplishment to 5-star status and 10th pick status, this was more than a worthwhile investment. You want quarterbacks to have an attitude, such as Rosen displayed upon being picked, saying he would win 4 Super Bowls, or whatever it was.
I hope we aren't stupid enough to reign in his personality. With another horse analogy that's like strangling a pure frontrunner while desperately trying to teach him to rate, Far more wasted careers than success stories with that tactic.
