Even though he will have been the guy to see him in practice, and in film study... every day for months?
Those who root for us to lose work a very simplistic football mind in which the QB is the final solution to all our problems and we will be instantly great. They have very little understanding of what Grier and Flores want to accomplish and what their vision is.
While Flores and Co would like to win a game here and there this season it is mainly about finding a supporting cast for the future - players who are versatile, interchangeable and buy into the system and ideas Flores and Co are trying to build and instill.
Rosen's evaluation falls into the same category. We could lose every game and still not pick a QB if Flores and Co feel like that Rosen could be the guy in the future. As a matter of fact the irony is that we could win 6 games and Rosen may not be the guy but we could also lose all of our games and Rosen could be our guy. Any evalution of any player this year is done on an individual basis and is done independent on wins or losses.
This is a season where any Dolphins fan should relax and enjoy a season of evaluation without any pressure. In fact we are in a great position to find our franchise QB. We have a possible franchise QB on our roster and if not we have the 2020 draft and if not we have the 2021 draft.
Rooting against the Dolphins is a rather selfish act to satisfy a man crush or just hopping along on a name train (popular guy train). I personally do not care what the name of our future franchise QB is: Rosen, Tua, Herbert, Fromm, Pee Wee Herrman. Who gives a ****. If he is a franchise QB, he is a franchise QB. I do prefer Rosen to become a franchise QB because it would shorten our rebuild by a year because the pick we might use on a QB could be turned into ransom and we could easily double our picks. But I am also not 'married' to Rosen and if he does not turn out to be "the one" we simply take a shot in the draft. Instead of selling myself out to one guy and one outcome I keep my options open and enjoy this season. But to each his own.
The one thing I know is that in the future I will enjoy our success much more because I kept my options open while those who 'married' themselves to one name will have a hard time to backpedal if another QB will be our franchise QB. Awkwardness is preprogrammed.
Do you trust Flores... and will you trust him IF he says Rosen is his guy?
Flores may not be here in years 2, 3, 4, 5 but Flores will be paid well
It should be like Chess, simply resign and knock your King over.It would be convenient if we could just forfeit the rest of the season.
I think you have to draft a QB with our #1 pick regardless of what Rosen does. I'm liking Rosen, he's only 22 and he has great feet, a live and accurate arm and he's still learning. But, this is a fantastic year for QB's so you've got to play the hand you're dealt. We'll probably get the first pick and Tua will probably be our guy. But, as we all know, we're miles away from being a good team and we have many, many holes to fill. But, QB is finally settled, 2 young dynamic prospects. If you don't have a top QB you have no chance so that's no small thing to finally accomplish.
Now, build the hell out of the trenches and get some great playmakers. The Dolphins will be better soon. BTW, it doesn't matter to me if we win any games. Our job this year is to lose.
i am afraid of small minded stubbornness thinking by Flores
his personnel choices have sucked for the most part
Exactly right... there are some average quality NFL players on this roster. Not enough to be sure, but the posters who claim they are all awful are childishly overstating things.I respect that opinion. There's a difference between what individual fans WANT and what Flo and company will do. Whether I or we like it, Flo will decide if Rosen is 'good enough.'
As for the roster, despite the pessimistic view of some, there is talent on the team. No, not All Pro, but a number of players who are at least average - good enough to reduce the positions of critical need. And 12 games to see if anyone grows into a position next year
