Bucky Brooks: Rosen most polished QB prospect since Luck

If Rosen is there at #2, I don't think the Giants will pass on him  
SGMen : 3/15/2018 6:53 pm : link
He can still learn behind Eli and if we are out of the playoffs, well, the Rosen era can begin with a couple starts to end the season.

Or some team calls us and gives us an amazing array of picks and players that we can't pass up. But this ONLY happens if we truly feel Eli has two more elite seasons in him AND Webb is solid in management's eyes.
Forget polished or pro ready  
UberAlias : 3/15/2018 6:57 pm : link
That’s just talent. Folks fall in love with the arm strength and size etc and act like everything else is teachable. It’s not. The other QBs are likely never to develop the “polish” that Rosen has. It’s like assuming Flowers issues were all correctable technique. It takes talent to developer technical skills and Rosen has that above the others.
Next great Big Blue QB

The crazy thing is he's only 21  
Big Rick in FL : 3/15/2018 7:00 pm : link
Just turned 21 too. He's so far ahead of Luck, Eli, Ben, Rivers, Wentz etc etc at the same age.
It's Rosen's turn on the hype machine

Stand pat @ 2 and take Rosen or Barkley.

Guaranteed one of the two. Might even have a choice between both.

Rosen, Barkley, Nelson and Fitzpatrick are the 4 best players in this draft. Hands down.
This changes  
Brown Recluse : 3/15/2018 7:02 pm : link
EVERYTHING!

At least until I see the next QB’s pro day...
If it weren’t for the injury concerns  
JoeyBigBlue : 3/15/2018 7:03 pm : link
I would be happy with Rosen as the next QB. He’s probably the most NFL ready QB in the draft. I just don’t think that’s important on this team because we still have Eli for at least next season.

I truly believe Darnold, while not as NFL ready has a much higher ceiling. Darnold can create under pressure, while Rosen is more limited. I think a year of sitting and taking 2nd teams snaps would do wonders for Darnold and he can take over in 2019.
Isn't he one hit away from his 3rd concussion?

Amen!
He's the most polished  
Peppers : 3/15/2018 7:05 pm : link
and the smartest since Luck.

He should be the guy at 2.

Rosen  
Archer : 3/15/2018 7:10 pm : link
I have read a lot of varying opinions on Rosen
Some that are not complementary from draft analysts that I respect

So I went back to watch some of his games to see what I was missing

To my eye Rosen is going to be a great QB
He is polished has a great arm and is more athletic than given credit

Rosen plays in a pro style offense
He plays under center makes all of the drops makes all of the throws

The other thing I noted which I did not hear from the analysts is that Rosen is tough
He was beaten up and never backed down
His line was awful and Rosen was hit on most plays


I think that the negative reviews are either misinformation or due to a personal dislike for Rosen ‘s abrasive personality

I think that Rosen is the only QB that you can project to what he will be in the pros

It is almost all his personality, and it is a lot of typical petty amateur psychology nonsense. "His family is wealthy so he's soft". "He's stuck up" "he may quit football because of his intelligence."

The difference between Rosen and Darnold...  
hitchchops2 : 3/15/2018 7:18 pm : link
...is the fear with Rosen is what's not on tape-injury and dedication concerns- while with Darnold it is what is on tape-he looked more terrible than good this past year. To me it is a no-brainer, but I'm just a fan, so what do I know.

Luck was a once in a generation prospect - the best QB prospect since John Elway.

arcarsenal : 3/15/2018 7:41 pm : link
Luck is/was a HoF caliber talent.

The OL's IND put in front of him were borderline criminal, and on top of that, he played a very reckless brand of ball. Just like we saw with Wentz.
Unfortunately

Pick #2  
Nomad Crow on the Madison : 3/15/2018 8:08 pm : link
If the Giants pick Rosen, I will be ecstatic (Milton, too). He is a gamer, and he has the talent to be a pro-bowl QB. Build the OL, get a RB and we have a shot at the SB. The injury issue? Come on, man...it's football. Players get hurt. Carson Went, Mr. Superman, got hurt. Why? because he runs out of the pocket and makes himself vulnerable. Rosen doesn't do that. He slides when he has to vacate the pocket. Injuries happen. Rub some dirt on it and play.
I will also  
chopperhatch : 3/15/2018 8:12 pm : link
Add that he throws the prettiest ball and has the best feet I have seen in a while based on what Ive seen in combine, pro day and youtube vids.

So we pass on a potential franchise qb because Eli has another year or two of playing below average?
I’m a broken record  
WillVAB : 3/15/2018 8:44 pm : link
But he’s the best QB in the draft. Smart, good at reading defenses, accurate, excellent deep ball, underrated athleticism.

The question is can he be durable? He could be Bradford or Brady.

Sure they happen but not playing in or finishing 12 of his last 20 games at UCLA while getting two concussions, a knee and a shoulder injury, has to raise some red flags.

Barring that, he's a no- brainier but with it, it's a big concern for me. If how ever the Giants do their homework on him and don't think it's a big deal then I'd be ok with it. That's their job and if they do it well, I'm sure they'd make the right decision, whatever way they go on him.

again. He will be retiring with concussion problems long before he brings us back to the promised land. Barkley, Nelson or a trade down for me . Buffalo wants him supposedly, lets do that deal. Oh wait, he may not want to play there, and go back to school ?

More than likely I'll be at the PSU proday. Problem is O'Brien changed the policy during his time there and they now allow the media. After that it became a mess.. This year will be a circus with the hype around Barkley.

Coming out of Stanford, Luck was can't miss and he didn't until Grigson and the Colts franchise failed him by surrounding him with shit.

Look at those teams he took to the playoffs - it was Elway-esque.

That’s a very fair point. If Darnold isn’t there, then you either trade down and get a king’s ransom or choose between Rosen or Allen. Allen has a higher ceiling but a much lower floor than Rosen.
'most polished'...  
Torrag : 3/16/2018 11:37 am : link
...everyone knows this. It has nothing to do with the possible negatives that play into his evaluation and Draft grade.

I also believe his mobility/escapability is at the low end of the spectrum which will lead to him taking big shots at the next level. The concussions combined with his own statements that he doesn't 'need' football scare the shit out of me.

He could get a couple of concussions and his neuro-whatever father could wisely council him to get out and who could blame him at that pont if he did exactly that. Too much risk for such a pivotal decision for our franchise.

Talked w/ @josh3rosen this morning. Told me he wished it had rained during his @UCLAFootball pro day so he could show teams he could wing it in all elements. He did have plenty of wind to contend with and looked terrific both rolling out and in pocket. Best passer in this draft.

Great  
TMS : 3/16/2018 3:48 pm : link
hope the Browns take him. But wait, he won't play there. He sees the $$$ in NYC. Leave Barkley for us or trade down for Nelson and picks. Rosen will not have a long career and we will be looking for QB after his next concussion.
Rosen  
Breeze_94 : 3/18/2018 11:21 am : link
is the best player in the draft when you factor in positional value and talent IMO.

Barkley/Nelson are better players but at positions that are not as highly valued. It would not make sense to take one of those guys with a QB like Rosen on the board and the Giants having a need at QB.
