That guy went through 3 OCs in 4 years and was CONSTANTLY being forced into adjustments. And yet he just keeps absorbing all the change and improving. He was so much better at quarterback stuff this year; checks and adjustments and timing.
I see a guy who's improved every year as a starter and that tells me he's a guy who has more ceiling and far more aptitude than he's given credit for. You combine that with his baseline athleticism and premier arm talent and I think you have a guy that can absolutely be a top 10 starter in this league in his prime because he's a guy who's arrow still points up.
mmmm. Maybe. You could be right. I'm not sold. Of course, I've not been sold on any QB in the last three years other than Mahomes and Mayfield. I think all the rest are JAGS. [Reply]

In response to the OP, I think the answer is yes. Rosen has all the physical prerequisites to be a QB. He's got above-average arm strength, ditto arm talent (according to Fitzy), decent athleticism, and he's a battler.
The cons are that he's raw and needs some more time to adjust to the pro game (sitting behind Flacco for a year might do the trick there), he's not fast enough to avoid the rush on his own, so he needs a decent running game and a decent O-line to help him stay on his feet and in the pocket, and he needs a decent catching TE.
Mostly what he needs is a mentor, similar to the situation that Mahomes had coming to the Chiefs. Someone to show him how to be a starting QB. Last year after Bradford stopped showing up, he was basically left to his own devices, and it showed on the field.
Going a little off the grid here, but it might be a good idea to draft Lock as well, the competition might be good for both of them. [Reply]
You know the thing that bugs me about Kyler Murray? His name is Kyler. Is that a real name? The only other time I've ever heard that name was on Beavis and Butt-Head. They mispronounced "killer" as "kyler." [Reply]

Barkevious Mingo doesn't understand what you're talking about. [Reply]
