After the New Orleans trade, it was a no brainer for us. Worst case scenario we have a future backup QB really cheap that a top draft pick will have to compete with.
RT never competed against anyone for his job. I never thought it would’ve mattered to him if he did as he likely would’ve beaten any possible competition other than Kaepernick. I think it matters to the organic process of team creation though. Trust and respect are still things that matter in team building.
If Kyler Murray decided to play baseball, Arizona isn’t giving up Rosen for less than the 10th pick in the draft. We are a winner of circumstance. I like Josh Rosen but I would’ve taken Murray over him if given the chance too.
Arizona screwed the pooch by not telling Rosen from the beginning that they were gonna take Murray to compete with him but that he will go into the season as the starter.
They were afraid of being honest for god knows what reason, as if they had the No.2 pick and had to sweat out someone else’s decision first.
The GM looks really stupid here. Could’ve just told Rosen the new coach loves Murray but I think you can beat him out. Rosen puts out a statement saying he welcomes the challenge, GM pins the fate of Murray on Kingsbury and worst case scenario(for them) they get 48 and a conditional 3rd in 2020.
Instead our fans are upset we gave up the 62nd pick for a top 10 QB talent that we know Miami liked last year (and probably New England too). I doubt this trade happens if at any point during last years draft process Belichek told Flores he didn’t like Rosen. Flores signed off on this knowing Belichek thought highly of Rosen already.
