Nah, sorry, that is incorrect. Rosen did not orchestrate a TD drive … he merely "almost" orchestrated a TD drive. Sure, it wasn't his fault, but there are 11 on offense, and like it or not his job is very much tied to his ability to get the other 10 guys to raise their level … call it leadership, or whatever you want, but a QB who doesn't put TD's on the board doesn't start for too long. Here we're hoping not that this is his level, but that this is a learning experience that can get Rosen to raise his own level and eventually become a good QB. And if he truly becomes a good QB, he will be raising the level of the other 10 on offense too, because that's what good QB's do.
I went through every throw he made multiple times … 20 of the 39 throws were bad. I explained when I originally said it that most were "near misses" not wild or dangerous throws, and IMHO, that is correct. You may be OK with a QB who throws in the general area, but the coaches are not. I could break down every throw and spend 2 hours illustrating how I was right … but you're not even going to put 10 minutes into it so I'm not going to bother. Cheers. My opinion is valid and I backed it up with my rationale. Your opinion simply differs from mine.
The fact that you're defending the hospital ball to Hurns, that not even Rosen himself defends, underscores that you might want to look a little deeper into how you define a good throw. Good QB's lead their receivers into good areas. Instant-devastation by a head-hunting safety is the worst possible area, and it can lead to a breakdown of trust from the receivers, and alligator arms over the middle from the entire receiving corps in the future. I'm confident that Rosen simply missed that in his read and never intended to put Hurns in that vulnerable position, and Rosen seems contrite and very remorseful about it, as he should be.
