Something going on w Rosen because he have talent. He is not getting it done on field.
I am beginning to suspect two things.
1) Rosen wasn't the fit that our HC is looking for and,
2) The FO is really being very careful with our long term salary investments.
The fact that we kept Rosen long enough to pay his initial bonus this year indicates to me he probably isn't as bad as many here proclaim.
The fact that we cut him to get down to the 53 man roster indicates to me he was a "back up plan" that was no longer needed for any number of reasons; reasons that we can only speculate about.
I was reading a Tampa Bay forum and their general consensus is they got a steal. It turns out several teams (they were not named) offered Rosen a spot on their roster, but he went with Tampa for two reasons:
1) He felt he would have a better situation on a team with Tom Brady and a former coach along with some serious potential and a strong offense
2) His youth gives him an advantage, being on a team whose current QB's have an average age of just under 40.
It seems to me, assuming that Rosen actually used that kind of reasoning, that Rosen is:
1) A lot smarter then people are giving him credit for.
2) Has learned what's really important on the business side of NFL football from the situations he found himself in thru for the last two years, and applied it.
3) Appreciates an opportunity to take advantage of a situation where fit, coaching and personnel are more important than money.
It will be interesting to see which QB's get into a Superbowl first, Tua or Rosen, or Tannehill.
After one of these QB's gets into a Superbowl, The Lemmings on this board will self identify by leaving their Lemming droppings and spraying the board with their Lemming juice!
That will be an insightful and entertaining day!
