Peter King....Rosen biggest riser after NFL combine......

sxdxca : 3/7/2018 1:21 am
Here are some quotes

"Rosen was the sharpest of all the quarterbacks Coach A met with at the combine in terms of how quickly he processed information and adapted to new terminology during one-on-one meetings: “He was very impressive. He knows football inside and out.”

Coach B concurred: “It’s not close. He’s by far the most advanced.”

"I know NFL folks have concerns about Josh Rosen's durability bc of his past injuries, but from talking to Pac-12 DCs I know they don't doubt his toughness at all after seeing him get blitzed 46 times in a game and kept getting back up,"

Here is a comparison of Rosen's dropped passes compared to Allen and Mayfield's

Josh Allen only 12 dropped passes.
Baker Mayfield 26 dropped passes
Josh Rosen 35 dropped passes

Here is the article , links at the bottom

What are some of his landmark wins?

Or even notable losses vs. better competition?

I remember Ernie Accorsi's notes on the game where Eli singlehandedly kept his outmatched Ole Miss team in its game vs. an Auburn powerhouse. Is there any evidence of something like that with any of this current QB class?


He’s had them. In his frosh year, UCLA hosted then 20th ranked Cal, with Jared Goff, and Rosen put on a clinic. They won and Rosen completely outdueled Goff. This year UCLA came back from being down 38-10 against Texas A&M and won by a point. Something like the biggest comeback in D1 in 15 years...

Known concussions. I like the way you phrased that. Eli stands in there and takes the hit, always has. I am sure Eli had more concussions in college than Rosen. You ever see that look on face when no one is watching him, kinda glassy and dufus. That's the concussions right there:)
All of this is a gamble  
Essex : 3/7/2018 9:27 am : link
even the great "Saquon Barkley" has bust potential. But, given Rosen's position and his attributes, if he is there at number 2 and we don't take him, I have a feeling that will be a decision we regret for a very, very long time.
As much as my man crush  
ryanmkeane : 3/7/2018 9:27 am : link
on Barkley has grown to ridiculous status, Rosen is the real deal and if we take him at 2, you really can't argue with it.

it does, but Rodgers also has exceptional accuracy and timing and is in absolute command of his offense. That's what I think Rosen can do if he can stay healthy.

Which is why Rodgers was a late 1st round pick?
Anyone can get hurt at any time.  
Dave on the UWS : 3/7/2018 10:03 am : link
Rosen would be sitting for a year behind Eli, which should help with the concussion issue. (there is some medical evidence to suggest that a good period of time resting the brain after a concussion reduces the risk of a second concussion- not sure I agree with that but its something to think about.)
I think Rosen is worth a #2 pick in any draft- that is one of DG's criteria.

That is just the evolution of football and the sports in general. There is far more scrutiny on head injuries and much more liberal diagnosis. Every little headache, dizziness, etc. is a concussion. Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. But the diagnosis errs on the side of caution.

When Eli played in college, it was a different tolerance for such symptoms. You can go back each subsequent class of players and if those players were asked, they would say they played through symptoms that would otherwise be classified as a concussion, nowadays.

There was a reason Rodgers fell in the draft.

Some of it was mechanical. Rodgers himself says he benefitted from not having to play early, IIRC.
I know the concussions give a lot of us pause

Ryan Fitzpatrick was pretty smart too.......

If this was an attempted shot at Rosen it was a huge fail. Fitzpatrick has had a long career where he has been the starting QB for several franchise despite lacking the arm strength and draft pedigree. He has been in the NFL for over 10 years.
Rosen is my guy  
Jay on the Island : 3/7/2018 10:52 am : link
I was torn between Darnold and Rosen but Rosen has won me over lately. A year learning behind Eli will help him in several ways.
I don't think it took the combine  
David B. : 3/7/2018 11:07 am : link
Football people have been saying this all along. Rosen is the most ready, has top-level arm talent, accuracy, and is the furthest along mentally. He COULD start day-1 (but doesn't have to) He has the "highest floor" of any of them, and that has been known all along.

People want Darnold for his IT factor and his escapability. Fair enough. He's got a lot going for him, and I'd be fine with him. He'd be able to sit behind Eli longer than Rosen (presumably) because he ISN'T ready yet.

People love Allen's measurables. High ceiling there, but not a high floor. His accuracy issues worry me. Some people feel he's more Jake Locker than Rothlesberger or Wentz.

Mayfield is going to rub some franchises the wrong way. His talent is there, but the size and the personality won't tick everyone's boxes.

Jackson - you have to commit yourself to building your offenses around his skill set ala Mike Vick/RG3. It's still going to be a lot about beating teams with his legs more than his arm. If he goes down (and if he's running a lot, he will), can your less-athletic backup be effective in that system?

Darkhorse? Mason Rudolph. Sharp kid. Top of the 2nd round anyone? Don't forget, the Chargers took Tomlinson in the first and Drew Brees second.

So for me (and I SUSPECT MANY GMs) it's been Rosen all along. And while I prefer Rosen, I'd be cool with Darnold too. There's be less pressure on him to start as soon.

The other guys don't intrigue me that much.

The Giants will have a guaranteed shot at one of Darnold or Rosen. I like Rosen a lot, but think Darnold is going to be a star as well. Best case scenario, Cleveland takes Barkley at 1 and the Giants have the choice of either of the two qbs.

I'm not asking to be condescending, but did yo watch Rodgers at Cal? He was a considerably better mover than Rosen. His athleticism jumped out...
Rosen is the only QB  
Old Dirty : 3/7/2018 11:49 am : link
that I'd be ok with the Giants drafting. I'd prefer Barkley or Rosen at #2. If not them, trade down and accumulate some premium picks. We are very thin at LB and need serious upgrades at OL. I wouldn't be upset if we went in any of these directions.

The 12th Man : 3/7/2018 12:32 pm : link

UCLA Defense  
GoBlue6599 : 3/7/2018 12:35 pm : link
For those who want to know why Rosen didn't win more in College do some research on UCLA defense... they gave up nearly 300 yards rushing per game and nearly 36 ppg one of the worse defenses in Division 1
How many football games are you gonna win with a defense like that?

This is exactly how I answered the concerns over his college record.

The UCLA defense was horrid - particularly the run defense. They couldn't stop anyone.

Rosen had to throw for about 450 and several scores for them to even be in some games.

The shootout against Memphis was wild. Rosen threw for 464 yards and 4 scores and LOST.

That's really all it comes down to here.

I think it's a significant concern, too. But for me, Rosen is the top QB in this draft if you're going on ability.

It'll be up to Gettleman and the scouts to make that determination - if they decide to draft him, I'm on board.

Where do you guys get this nonsense? If any of these can be talked into career decisions by Daddy then they shouldn’t be the pick.

Is there an ounce of evidence to suggest that Rosen does what Daddy tells him?

Or for that matter what his Dad even thinks? Plenty of neurologists (which his dad is not- he does spinal surgery) think the number of concussions doesn’t matter

This is just rampant baseless speculation

That's fair. Rodgers was the first guy who came to my head when I was thinking of a guy who was completely in command of the offense. The ways in which Rosen and Ryan are different probably distract from what I am getting at. I guess I'll go with a comparison I've read other places - "A Better Matt Ryan".
Rosen isn’t a better prospect than Rodgers  
KWALL2 : 3/7/2018 3:46 pm : link
Rodgers dropped because the NFL was hung up on 2 things:

1. Tedford and his QBs failing in NFL
2. He held the ball by his ear on the drop.

Both ridiculous.

He did not have any issue with this throwing motion. He ripped it out fast. The release was fast and he can snap it on the move in college. Rosen is good throwing on the move but not like Rodgers was at Cal.

Failure of guys like Akili Smith, Boller, Harrington, etc. These failures have nothing to do with the next prospect but Rodgers got knocked for it.

Rosen isn’t in ths class but he throws and moves a lot better than Ryan.

mrvax : 3/7/2018 4:56 pm : link
it will be because the Browns did or the Giants were concerned about his injury history.

Us fans just don't know how to look at Rosen's injuries and determine the risk involved. Should the Giants find themselves on the fence about this, they can always red shirt him for a year. Allow him time to recover and get stronger.

Rodgers had a quick release in college. The only thing he changed was where he held the ball. He kept it up high and snapped it out fast. The release was never a problem. The only concern was ball security with the ball up high.
