Very true … but if we trade for Rosen it means two things are paramount:
1. The Dolphins believe Rosen is the answer, and will not be shopping for a QB in 2020 … so the rebuild starts today, and we're likely locked into Rosen and mediocrity for the next decade.
2. The braintrust of the Dolphins is not being sincere about their prioritizing of people who love football, grind and sacrifice for the team. Rosen is the opposite of all of that, and the young players will all realize it.
This would represent a huge change of philosophy and direction for Grier and Flores … and from that decision there wouldn't really be a way to turn back. It's tough to get guys to follow your mantra of sacrifice if you sell them out for a guy who represents the exact opposite in your very first draft. If we bring in Rosen, we're investing in talent over attitude … and the talent had better produce quickly, or it all falls apart.
