His pocket presence was so good he was only sacked 45 times his rookie season! He reads defenses so much better than Tannehill that he threw only 14 interceptions to his 11 touchdowns!
Come on guys! I know there are a lot of reasons to “write off” Rosen’s rookie year for some of you, but the analysis by fans is just ridiculous, as it is 180 degrees opposite of his results on the field. In truth, Tannehill was brought into Miami with the same types of issues Rosen had in AZ, and Tannehill had even less time as a starter in college. People wrote Tannehill off because of his WR roots in college and are elevating Rosen for his college experience.
Truth is, they are essentially the same QB stats wise their rookie year with Tannehill having 1 more touchdown, 1 less interception and 10 fewer sacks. Rosen’s completion percentage was higher, but Tannehill threw for more yards. Reality is, for now at least, Rosen=Tannehill., with Tannehill actually having the edge in some areas.
I know we all want Rosen to succeed, but he has a lot to prove before the word franchise should ever be uttered.
To be fair. Tannehill threw more INTs then TDs his rookie year as well. While being 3 years older. Albiet, more green at the position then Rosen, but he was certainly surrounded by a better cast of players. Although, Im not saying RT had a good cast by any means.
