Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Too bad JR couldn’t have foreseen the trade, and been part of the ‘AFC East QB Challenge’ a few weeks back. He could have been there berating all the ‘lesser’ talent, then got up there and launched one of those 40 yard ‘worm burners’. (If he needs help with that shot, I’m an expert...)
One Buffalo Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 A pretty good read with the details of Rosen trade, quotes from Rosen- 2
Albany,n.y. Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 The closest thing to Rosen was in 1990. In 1989 Dallas drafted Troy Aikman in the regular draft & used another 1st rounder on Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft. After 3 games in the 1990 season with Aikman #1 on the depth chart, Walsh was traded to New Orleans. The difference was Walsh was traded for a #1 & #3 in 1991 & a 2nd in 1992. This shows either how badly Arizona handled things or how much Rosen's stock dropped once the other teams saw him play vs NFL caliber talent.

Thanks for sharing. IMO It really highlights what an absolutely terrible job Steve Keim did in handing the Rosen trade situation. He couldn’t have tanked his value much more than he did. I honestly don’t understand why Keim waited until they were basically on the clock to start trying to trade Rosen. Was he truly undecided on drafting Kyler Murray until minutes before the pick, or what? I can’t think of any other reason, unless he’s really just that stupid (which seems plausible...lol) 4

Dolphins benefit with a great deal, I am just glad that he didn't go to Patriots. I am still glad we didn't take Rosen over Allen in hindsight (I wanted Rosen) but I expect Rosen to be a solid starter. Looks like in a few years the Patriots will be the only team in the AFC East looking for their starting QB. 1
Just Joshin' Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I hope Rosen plays just good enough so Miami does not draft a stud QB in 2020.
berg1029 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 The quote that sticks out to me: Quote "I think some people take this chance for granted and think it will last forever," Rosen continues. "I got a little newsflash after Year One: You've really got to give it absolutely everything you've got every day, because this game is fleeting." Expand 1

Patrick Duffy Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Solid move by the Fins. Might be some good AFCE battles for many years to come between Allen, Darnold, and Rosen.

It makes division games fun again, it also will lead to real rivalries.
