I mean I think A LOT of Flores' way of handling Rosen has to do with his/his team's way of coaching/motivating him.
Kid basically needed to be rebuilt mentally, and that is ok. He is only 22. Hell we drafted Tannehill and he was 24 as a starting rookie.
This isn't happening overnight and overanalyzing every mistake, every play he is a half second too slow and all that other stuff his detractors seem to like to do just makes no sense.
It's why Fitzpatrick will likely start the season. Rosen is still a work in progress and having him watch Fitzpatrick for a few weeks and continue to work in practice is all part of a process to put him in the best spot for success. Him potentially "not winning" the week one start literally means nothing in the greater picture.
What we saw from Rosen this week had to make coach Flo smile a bit. Body language was real good, he made good decisions, threw the ball well . . . He was executing what was in front of him. Coach still threw that nugget out there about stepping up to avoid sacks . . . And that is proper. Pocket presence is good but keep working to make it great. Especially with this line. How he handles potentially not being the week 1 starter will be very telling in this overall process.
Look at the schedule. Those first 4 games are no joke. Then you have a bye week and are at home against one of your more winnable games against Washington. If Fitzpatrick is struggling or the team is in general struggling . . . It's the perfect time to insert Rosen and see what we have with him this year.
Patience is needed, not 7 year patience, but more than what some have given him so far.
There is A LOT to like with him
