If you watch his rookie tape and say this guy can’t make the correct reads or dosent have the accuracy or arm talent, mechanics or pocket presence to make it in this league that’s one thing. But maybe you watch Rosen’s rookie tape and say he can make the reads but his line  doesn’t give him time to throw , guys can’t get open or he’s in the wrong system ect. I remember watching Troy Aikmans in his rookie year  with the Cowboys and saying this guy stinks , he was 0-11 as a starter had 1,749 yards 9 TD’s and 18 interceptions. Troy Aikman is a hall of Famer I’m not saying Rosen is gonna be great just pointing out if you looked at Aikmans raw numbers from that year you would say he’s a bust vs perhaps looking at the situation he was in on a terrible team.

Yeah, and again I'm not going to bat for Rosen so much as acting like a new, possibly over-eager HC showing up and tossing the last regime's QB aside for his own gimmicky pick isn't the best reason to assume Rosen is a worthless bust.  Stuff like this happens, and I can see a savvy team buying low on Rosen if the Cardinals are really as willing to move him for the sake of getting rid of him as it seems.

Stuff like this has happened in football before.  Josh McDaniels barely warmed up his HC chair in Denver and he wanted Jay Cutler out of there because he was obsessed with Matt Cassel and Tim Tebow.  Cutler isn't the greatest QB ever, but he was better than the QBs the new guy just "had to have."  New HC's like to draft QBs or dig up their own guys, which is why if ZT actually wanted to bring in Tannehill and draft a rookie QB I wouldn't instantly assume that Dalton is a crap QB that no one wants.

I could see a scenario where the Cards draft Murray and toss Rosen to the Patriots for a late 2nd round pick and it will be hailed as the savvy Pats preying on a rookie HC and desperate GM. Ol' Kliff may be hooked on Murray and he's like a crack addict taking everything he owns to the pawn shop.
