Rosen talk on NFL Radio this morning

eric2425ny : 3/12/2019 9:24 am
A Giants fan called in asking about the Giants trading for Rosen. Weis laughed and deferred the question to Papa. Papa raised concern over his work ethic and leadership ability as the Casserly report echoes what was being said about him coming out of UCLA and suggests this attitude may have followed him to Arizona. The discussion ended with a “hard pass” on Rosen...

There is no way Eli isn't getting that roster bonus.

So unless you have big St Paddy plans. 3/17 is not important.


If they trade for Rosen and keep Eli it will be an enormous sentimental f%$# up. So if I am the Giants, I tell AZ, we are interested and have an offer in mind but that offer takes a hit after 3/17 bc it is a $17M hit.

that said - I highly doubt they bring in Rosen - so in the end, I think you are right.

We have heard basically nothing, period. Except for DGs saying the defense needs big help and the oline needs to be fixed, they haven't indicated what direction they will go. I do think it will be ER or pass rush @ #6 and OL at #37.

If you listen to him and Banks on gameday, they really turn the screws on things they think are off. Both are pretty solid when it comes to evaluating the state of the team.

Then you have people calling in who sound like BBI'ers rambling about there not being any plan and that they need to trade their distraction of a WR and how do you think he should respond??

He took the job and clearly must have known what it would entail. If his opinion differs from a callers he still sounds like a dick when answering. Also, like Dottino he never has anything negative to say about anything the Giants ever do.

For anything less than a first he is a steal.

I think that Rosen can sit behind Eli and learn how to be a professional.

He can see Eli's work ethic and attention to detail.

If you watch Rosen play last year, you can see that he has the potential to be a very good or even a great pro QB.

His stats belie his ability.I actually think more of him now then I did at the draft. He is one tough guy. He got the sh.t kicked out of him yet he kept coming back.
He never complained or placed blame on his teammates and he had every reason to complain. His line was awful and his receivers equally bad.

The Giants can get him for the next (4) years with almost no guaranteed money. If he is not what they hoped they can release or trade him.

it again - but the only way a player is a steal, especially at the QB position, is if he's a franchise QB. Anything less than that and what you actually give up for him is only part of the equation. The other part is the time you wait for him to develop.

you think if the Dolphins could go back and do it all over again that they would invest many years in Ryan Tannehill? The Redskins got cousins as a lower draft pick and aren't any better off, and actually got worse at the position by overpaying for a guy whose leg was mangled.

There is the same evidence that any other deal has had at this time, media rumors and leaks. Until a deal is finalized no one talks. There have been a few media comments that we are one of the teams very interested in Rosen if the Cardinals decide to go with Murray.

100% agree. The kid can play and answered the questions about his toughness. With all the negative banter about him, don't you think he is smart enough to take a mature approach to his next opportunity? The kid has been thrown under the bus by talking heads/coaches who want someone who thinks only about football 24 hours a day. Rosen actually thinks about other things on occasion. What a crime.

So how long have you know the young man? When did you meet him? I happen to know the family. The kid is supremely confident, but he has reason to be. I would not want a QB who is anything but supremely confident. He is smart and dedicated. God forbid we find a QB (for a mid-round draft pick no less) who has skills, intelligence and the desire to be great.

Not using the D word on here anymore, but I see why people aren’t fans of Rosen. The dedicated and strong desire to be great traits are exactly what has been questioned.

Again, this is flawed thinking. Ryan Tannehill-level production at $2M for 2019 is a good deal. And it doesn't stop the Giants from drafting a QB in 2020 if Rosen is a disaster in 2019.

Consider the alternative: paying Eli $23M to give you Ryan Tannehill production.

One option is cheap, has an easy out, and has massive potential upside. The other is expensive and has zero upside. It's a no brainer for an objective front office that isn't influenced by nostalgia and sentimentality.

Nostalgia and sentimentality are going to cost the Giants $23M against the salary cap in 2019, but lead to no additional wins.
You don’t figure the lost assets (assets given up)

Besides their intrinsic value, and the fact that their loss prevents us from building the team, management would never write a guy, who they’ve invested assets in, off after one season.

They’re not just putting him in their cart at the pic&save like you intitmate.

The asset figures to be a second round pick.

A second round pick for a 22 year old guy with Rosen's passing ability, for the right to pay him $2M a year, is a huge value. If we drafted him straight up in this draft people would be head over heels with the pick.

That applies to any player we draft as well.

What about the assets spent to keep Eli on the roster? Does the $17M we would recoup count as an asset?

Cutting Rosen after 1 year is the worst case scenario. The best case scenario is we've got our QB at a cut rate and don't need to expend a draft pick (or picks to trade up to get one) next year.

The worst case scenario with Rosen is better than the scenario that's actually going to play out when we keep Eli, unless Eli leads the Giants to the playoffs.
Go Terps  
eric2425ny : 3/12/2019 2:10 pm : link
I see your point, but let’s say we make this trade and it costs us our high second round pick. And then we cut Eli and save the $17M or whatever it amounts to be.

The problem with this if Rosen ends up not working out is we just gave away a likely starter with that second round pick. And great, we pick up that extra cash from Eli, but we will have that cash next year as well if we don’t extend Eli’s contract.

Based on what we have seen the last 36 hours or so, prices for FA are insane. That cost controlled second round pick we would be giving up would be hard to stomach if Rosen busts. Because we’ll get the Eli money back next year, it’s not like he is signed to a long term deal.

I would rather have the drafted player then what I would get for 17M. And, I think your worst case is the most likely and birders on guaranteed. Although I substitute bellrung retirement for cut.

Your points are valid, if you truly like the player. But if he was better than the other QB’s in this draft I would think someone would be offering up a lot more than a second rounder for him. Time will tell I guess.

Let me first say, I've never been much of a Rosen fan. But if you get a guy cheaply enough in terms of picks given up and money, AND you are willing to walk away from them quickly (within a season like what we did with Webb) if they are not working out, then its worth a shot.

If you decide you have to invest in them years of development time, then I agree with you.

I'm with Terps here. I could be wrong, but I think the Giants don't win many fewer games by cutting Eli and starting say, Rosen, plus a couple other players. The worst case scenario is that we are where we are next year, but have moved farther along in building the roster.

you'd have to walk away quickly if a QB isn't working out (or sort of like what Arizona is doing).

Quote:

It isn't a good deal to get Tannehill-type production, regardless of the cost. Why?? Because success goes through the QB unless you have an extremely strong defense. Tannehill isn't getting you to the SB, or even the playoffs. It is like having Kirk Cousins on a cheap deal. Was it worth it for the Redskins?

Is having Winston on a rookie deal worth it for the Bucs?

By your line of thinking, investing in Peterman wouldn't be bad. He's a steal!!!

Rosen  
Thegratefulhead : 3/12/2019 3:30 pm : link
I want Rosen because he is a gifted passer of the football. EXCEPTIONAL. We are in a position to steal him because of a perfect storm of circumstance. Cosell thought he was the best player in the draft last year. Unlike Casserly, I put weight in the remarks of Cosell. Arizona has a new coach that likes Murray. Rosen did not shine because he was on a HORRIBLE team. We can buy a young franchise guy low...He will cost us nothing in salary and has the most of upside of any QB in the last few years. His upside is Tom Brady. He is that gifted as a passer. Sy said give he would give up 6, I would too in heartbeat. He can be had for less... MAKE IT HAPPEN. Pennies on the dollar, we can get a franchise QB from the clearance rack because someone else is making a mistake.
OK then let's deal in reality  
Go Terps : 3/12/2019 3:32 pm : link
What do we know about Rosen? I'll let someone smarter than me tell you. Here's Sy's scouting report:

Quote:
1 – Josh Rosen – UCLA

Grade: 89

Strong Points

-Knows and understands the game inside and out, very intelligent on the field
-Advanced footwork and release, consistent mechanics
-Excels at passes within the intermediate range

Weak Points:

-Deep ball accuracy is inconsistent
-Slight frame plus concussion issues plus tennis background causes for some durability concern
-Doesn’t pose much of a threat as a passer on the move

Summary:

Junior entry. Has had the look of a pro passer since his freshman season. The 3 year career at UCLA didn’t pan out the way many were hoping for, but it can’t be pinned on him. His supporting cast was dreadful. The pass catchers dropped more balls than any of the other QBs in this top-of-the-draft discussion, there was no running game to lean on, and the offensive line was very leaky up the middle. With all of that, Rosen still threw for 9,342 yards and 59 touchdowns. One red flag, however, is that he missed 8 games over the past 2 years with various injuries. And another nugget here is that more teams are fearful of his knees not holding up, as that is a consistent occurrence with tennis players when they get in to their late 20’s-early 30’s. Rosen was a big time tennis player in his teen years, so it is something to consider.

Here is something I am confident can be put to bed. Rosen is not a character risk. He is not going to be an issue with the media, he is not going to be a problem with the coaches and players. He is not going to be a problem socially. This kid knows more about football than a lot of current professionals. He studies it hard, practices hard, and was head and shoulders on another level than his teammates mentally and physically. If you could guarantee be Rosen can stay on the field, his grade would be 90+, elite. NYG could be the perfect spot for him as it will allow him to add bulk to his frame for a year or two, use his intelligence to pick up the schemes and tendencies of the NFL, and be ready to rock in 2019 or 2020. During that time, you let Davis Webb handle backup duties and if he proves to be a solid player, you have a very good problem on your hands, one that several teams will pay up for.

"Jared Goff was the first pick of the NFL draft two seasons ago, and had a very good 2017 season with the Los Angeles Rams. After watching two seasons of tape on UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen, I think Rosen is a better prospect than Goff was coming out of Cal," Cosell wrote in an exclusive piece with Yahoo! Sports.


"If I had to choose, I’d probably pick Rosen as my No. 1 quarterback in this year’s class."

Cosell, who is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable and trusted analysts, said that he doesn't see many weaknesses in Rosen's game tape after further evaluation:

"Rosen has very good mechanics that he repeated consistently: good ball position, firm base, excellent balance, compact delivery, good velocity." Cosell wrote. "There was a calmness and poise to his pocket play. For NFL teams that value pocket play, Rosen will be a desirable prospect in this draft. He doesn’t have many weaknesses, as we’ll see as we break down his game."

I want Rosen because he is a gifted passer of the football. EXCEPTIONAL. We are in a position to steal him because of a perfect storm of circumstance. Cosell thought he was the best player in the draft last year. Unlike Casserly, I put weight in the remarks of Cosell. Arizona has a new coach that likes Murray. Rosen did not shine because he was on a HORRIBLE team. We can buy a young franchise guy low...He will cost us nothing in salary and has the most of upside of any QB in the last few years. His upside is Tom Brady. He is that gifted as a passer. Sy said give he would give up 6, I would too in heartbeat. He can be had for less... MAKE IT HAPPEN. Pennies on the dollar, we can get a franchise QB from the clearance rack because someone else is making a mistake.


I think Rosen could be had for our 2nd rounder and maybe a pick next year, which would allow us to get a pass rusher in round 1. This is ideal like you said because of the low cost involved.

The other option is to draft a QB in round 1 like Haskins or Lock and hope a good defensive player is there.

you'd have to walk away quickly if a QB isn't working out (or sort of like what Arizona is doing).

But what if Rosen isn't complete dogshit, but like I said above - Tannehill?



Quote:


Again, this is flawed thinking. Ryan Tannehill-level production at $2M for 2019 is a good deal.



It isn't a good deal to get Tannehill-type production, regardless of the cost. Why?? Because success goes through the QB unless you have an extremely strong defense. Tannehill isn't getting you to the SB, or even the playoffs. It is like having Kirk Cousins on a cheap deal. Was it worth it for the Redskins?

Is having Winston on a rookie deal worth it for the Bucs?

By your line of thinking, investing in Peterman wouldn't be bad. He's a steal!!!

Yeah I have to agree with you there.... Tannehill, Cousins et al are teases. Teases are what leads to QB hell... You always hope they take the proverbial next step.

Lets say you can get Rosen for our 4th... And if he doesn't light it up, walk away and go for one of the young guns in 2020. I know some folks are willing to part with a lot more than a 4th for Rosen, but I think he needs to come at a very steep discount at this point.
