Well, like I said at the beginning - Fitzpatrick is their quarterback until he goes out and loses the job. What they have in Rosen this season is a cheap backup until something changes. That didn't come from a sportswriter or an article. I just know what's going on.
They're not going to send Rosen out there behind this offensive line until he's mastered the protections and is able to utilize that tool to protect himself. The fans are simply clamoring to know what Flores and the coaching staff already know by meeting with him everyday and observing his reps closely. But it ain't gonna happen.
Fans are fans and they're going to do what fans do. Talk on message boards.
The coaches are going to be coaches and do what coaches do. Nobody is missing the boat on Rosen. The situation is what you think it is. They don't believe he's destined for the Hall of Fame yet, and they don't think he's ready to be the starter and lead the team yet.
Right now they don't really see much difference in the team's chances to win a football game whether it's Fitzpatrick or Rosen. That's not what it's about. This is about Rosen being ready, and giving themselves the best chance to know what they have in him when it's time to do so.
There's nothing he can do that's going to change their minds one way or another in regards to their plan for taking a quarterback in 2020. They know what their plan is there with or without Rosen.
They're not staking all of their jobs in the end on whether or not Rosen pans out. It's just not what they're going to do. Know that. Let it sink in.
