Some of you give Rosen zero chance of being the franchise huh. While I don't think he's the answer I do give him a 20-25% chance of keeping us from looking QB
Way too big a number there nick... Try 2-3%... If the odds of him being a franchise QB were around 20-25%, he would have cost a shitload more than a 2nd round trade down...
Exactly. It's hard to make fans understand things sometimes.
Rosen isn't the plan. He's only part of a bigger plan. They haven't gone all in yet on their plan in terms of the quarterback they're going to build around. They took a shot on him for a decent price in terms of trading a 2nd round pick. A 2nd round pick that they got back. It's basically a free shot.
Except it cost them potentially quality offensive lineman they could've had in the 2nd round of this draft. They weren't worried about winning games in 2019, so the reward for the potential payoff with Rosen was greater than the reward of drafting Erik McCoy to them. They're looking at the bigger picture.
The reason you don't send him out there if you have 3 guys up front whiffing every play - is to be fair to Josh Rosen. But most of all, so you don't kill what value he has left in terms of flipping him for more draft picks after you bring in YOUR plan. The guy you're going to stake your job and everybody else's jobs on.
Anybody that thinks it's just Josh Rosen and that's it they're staking their jobs on, you're underestimating these guys. They have people at practices over the past few weeks all over the country watching every single one of these 2020 quarterbacks.
Its good to see you posting in the main more Slimm.
While I agree that Rosen isnt their plan, I still think there's alot of value in starting him, sink or swim. Rosen being the guy isnt the only way the Fins win that trade IMO, they can also flip him at the end of the year. Sure the coaches can evaluate every practice snaps he gets but he's still not getting any visibility league wide.
The odds that Rosen actually keeps the Fins from drafting a QB next season are very close to zero, I get that, but the odds of flipping him for a 4th or better next offseason or down the line are somewhat reasonable. The way I see it you need 4-5 good games out of him for a desperate GM to take a shot in a QB starved NFL. The guy is still young and the former 1st round pick always sticks even when it doesnt make any ****ing sense. Not all GMs are competent.
If you're looking to get 4-5 good games out of Rosen, it's not going to happen by playing him 7 games. We need volume here.
I mean I wouldnt even be losing more than 5 minutes on this if the alternative had any kind of upside at all. The alternative is a 37 years old journey man below average career 81 rating QB. The odds of this guy adding anything of value to the Fins(meaningful wins, assets, I mean anything...) in the future are 0... While Rosen's odds arent MUCH better, its still there and the only way to maximixe those odds is to include the possibility that a bad GM gets intrigued by a couple of flash plays/good games. IMHO
