Allen said he should probably never do that again himself but I worry it's something that happens when he gets worked up trying to win.

 

Haha he probably won’t hurdle again, he’ll come up with some other athletic stunt in the heat of the game

He certainly showed some crazy athletic ability today, and by that I mean some was athletic, and some was just CRAZY! Stay well Josh, we need you buddy!

It was pretty epic I must say. Definitely a one time thing. That stiff arm that led to a horsecollar was pretty badass too.

I know and it’s for pathetic reasons.

 

There were many reasons.  Attitude, concussion history, lack of athleticism, and the fact that he's got major money coming to him and is a risk to retire early.  The off-field stuff is overblown and not much of a factor.

 

But glad he didn't win the game for the Cards.  I survive another week in my pool!

There are some actual relevant reasons to question Rosen and you named them. Not talking about those. The ones I am talking about are those overblown things.

I can say one thing personally, the "overblown" things made watching that debacle very enjoyable.

There were far more reasons than the overblown one.  So it wasn't even much of a consideration.

Have they acknowledged that or how is this known?

I believe Chris Simms was talking about it. There's a couple tweets and stories, in this topic, stating Arizona inquiring about Denver's 5th pick as they really liked Allen. Buffalo had a deal in place until Denver backed out to draft Bradley Chubb. Which in the end ended up working out better for us.

I wanna see him hurdle Mack.

Thanks, I couldn't find it. The scuttlebutt was pretty well circulated on twitter at the time too IIRC.

The Cards never denied it either.

[MarlinTheMagician]

I can't believe anyone wanted Rosen.  Looks like a sour personality.  Appears to lack arm strength.  Definitely lacks athleticism.

 

Yuk.  So glad we didn't get that guy.

Yeah, the topic only had a couple tweets & articles, but I remember hearing quite a bit about this. Pretty sure people started talking about it that night.

Nope sounds like they had their heart set on him.

[MarlinTheMagician]

Rosen is merely misunderstood because he is so smart.  He actually is not the pencil neck he appears to be.

This is mostly me feelings also. I never got the feeling the guy has what it takes to play the position and the role in the NFL. I don't care if he succeeds or not but am grateful he's not my quarterback. Don't think he'll rally a team and get everyone on the team rooting for him. Josh Allen does things like that we can see already.

A take charge attitude and mentality, leadership ability, physical attributes are some of things that I don't think that scrawny little puke has.

Allen reminds me of Kelly with his fiery attitude and physical toughness. Even though he seems extremely humble and nice, has a mean competitive streak in him. Much like Kelly, it's like having a Linebacker playing QB..........and playing it well.

I dont know why the cardinals are so dead set about having Bradford start.

Because they're paying him almost $16M this year.

More like $20 million if he plays.  $15 if he sits.  Get used to the splinters Sam.

I think we got the right Josh....that said tough time to bring in Rosen and ask him to do something

 

I think all 3 of these QBs have a chance to be good....I just think our Josh has the physical tools to be GREAT
