Rosen was the "Wrong Josh" after all...

[The Red King]

2018 was a great draft for QBs.  Five QBs were taken first round.  This season four of them led their teams to the playoffs, even if two of them are on different teams then the ones that drafted them.  That's a remarkable feat.

 

Then there's Josh Rosen who, unless I'm mistaken, isn't even in the league anymore.  He's the odd one out.

 

I find this interesting, as I remember a lot of fans referred to Josh Allen as "Wrong Josh", upset b/c the Bills could have taken Rosen.  Instead, the QB those fans wanted is the only one out of the five that isn't/wasn't in the playoffs.  And "Wrong Josh" is one of two MVP candidates.

 

Just goes to show that you never know how things are going to play out.

You're jumping to conclusions. The jury is still out.

Come up with that all by yourself?

Oh, I know our Josh already proved himself.  I was more surprised that all four other QBs made the playoffs.

Here we go.

 

But I will say, just from looking at Rosen’s face I knew he wouldn’t amount to 💩 in the NFL.

yep,  nobody really knows,  even the pros making the big $$$$ to find guys for teams.  everybody is throwing darts at a dart board and hoping something sticks.  nobody thought Mahomes would be what he's become,  coming from the college offense that he did.  Tom Brady being picked last in the draft.  etc etc.  the NFL is filled with misses and guys nobody thought about becoming all pros.  far more misses than hits.

I wanted Darnold or Mayfield. I did NOT want Jackson because I saw him as a Tyrod Taylor type of QB, and I was through with that. I didn't want Josh Allen because of the completion percentage and everyone in the media bashing him. He just seemed like one of those endless projects. And yeah, I settled on Rosen because I figured Darnold and Mayfield would be gone, and the media really hyped him up.

 

It taught me a valuable lesson. Don't make opinions based on the takes of media talking heads.

So the thread title should have been “2018 draft qb’s who made the playoffs this year”?   What exactly is surprising you?

[90sBills]

Very astute observation. 

[Your Brown Eye]

Have you ever thought about getting into sports broadcasting with those hot takes?

[Man with No Name]

Trying to analyze draft picks is a fools errand for anyone who isn't an expert. It's also a fool's errand for the experts, in many cases. I realized that for a long time, and such, when Josh was picked by us, I was neither irritated or excited. 

 

The thing about Josh that still stands out to me is that despite seeming to be a very obvious project, he was still projected to go anywhere between 1 and 11. Usually the guys who have all the athletic ability but are still very raw, get dropped down to between 2 and 6th round. What stood out so much about Josh that had him slotted for one of those very high spots despite the rawness?  

 

For example, this guy on NE who torched our second team. Strong arm. Good runner. Has those good attributes but was dropped down to 6th round because of accuracy issues, etc. 

 

People saw something in Josh that has never been seen in a PROJECT type guy before. Or am I wrong. Has such a raw qb talent ever been projected and picked so high?

amazing how the 2018 QB class has rebounded this year. Baker and Darnold were written off as busts two years ago.  Maybe someone should give Rosen a shot!

[BillsPride12]

It took you this long to figure that out?

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

Recall one of the concerns about him was he was pretty well off, so wasn't going to be all that motivated as didn't need the money.

The Jets might need a QB. Or the Dolphins when Tua inevitably picks up another injury.

I feel like this was answered somewhere around 2019. Welcome to the party.

We knew Mayfield and Rosen were playoff caliber QB's around 2019?
