A great breakthrough in sports analysis is when you learn to greatly admire something that you don't agree with.
Keep in mind that the people who say no to this have a considerable built-in advantage. cbrad on the other site is among the few who understands this and points it out.
Odds are, Josh Rosen will not become an elite Super Bowl caliber quarterback. Therefore anyone objecting to him now will likely have reason to crow eventually. The standards applied are so ridiculously high on forums like this. Notice the abuse and doubt that Russell Wilson receives despite elite production throughout his life.
It would be simple to take that doubter side, under the smug knowledge that years from now or sooner I could proclaim correctness. Sons of Shula used to ridicule every coach on this staff. Easy way out. We weren't going to win anything of note with the roster we had. Therefore he could trot out a few screen captures and football lingo and assert worst in the league. It was amazing how many suckers went along with it.
But I am a firm yes on Rosen because I understand the immense value attached to this acquisition. His odds of top tier success aren't necessarily higher than other recent quarterbacks. But the price we paid was insanely low, to quote that annually terrific poster at the draft forum of footballsfuture.com, the post I linked a couple of days ago.
This is hardly a Tannehill situation of paying an obscene high price for a late blooming overaged guy who had never been great in his life, and just went 7-6 with a preseason #8 team that was favored in all but one game. Rosen has been considered top tier all along. If you make this type of move time and again regardless of name or position or subjective opinion you will come out so far ahead it will be a felonious life.
