Oh my, some people appear to be off their meds today or are just bat**** crazy!
Rosen stats for the year...
26-60 (43.3%), 302 yards, 5.0 YPA, 0 TD, 2 int, 7 sacks, QBR 31.0, QB rating 45.3
Against the Cowboys he led the Dolphins to a mere 6 points...and on one of those drives (10 play, 49 yards) was because Fitzpatrick was 2-2 for 29 yards providing 59% of the yardage on those two throws and had moved Miami from their 42 to the Cowboys 21 and Miami had a 1st and 10 when Rosen was re-inserted.
Rosen made a few nice throws (40 yard to Parker, stripped football in endzone to PW), but had as many inaccurate as accurate throws and nearly got a WR killed. His play in the second half was poor at best. The Dolphins had 30 plays for 70 yards.
Rosen led Miami to converting 2 of 14 third downs, that's worse than Tannehill used to do. Fitzpatrick was 1 for 1 on converting 3rd downs with a 25 yard completion to PW in which he escaped pressure and got leveled as he threw.
Fitz play was more special than any play Rosen made yesterday escaping the pocket from two tackles. I'm sure Rosen fans would use that play as proof he is worthy of rebuilding around if only he had done it...
Rookie WR Preston Williams makes a great catch for a first down.

Only two QBs out of 35 qualifying are completing less than 56% of their passes (Fitz at 51.9% and Rosen at 43.3%). Even Fitz has a higher YPA than Rosen 5.8 to 5.0.
This is coming off a season in which Rosen threw 1 TD pass in his last 5 games as a starter.
Yet, Rosen-colored glass wearing fans have now been comparing his game with Aaron Rogers, saying he would be the starter on many other teams (none of which wanted to trade for him) and have decided Miami needs to rebuild around him.
Before anointing Rosen the franchise QB let this sink in...Since Rosen's last TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald his stats are...114 - 221, 51.58%, 4.96 YPA, 0 TD, 6 int, QB rating 54.45
I get fans wanting to have a legitimate QB after Marino retired 20 years ago, but at least wait till he gets Miami into the endzone 1 time!
