The thing is, what else can they do? If they do not stack the box the run game, which is better then last years, destroys them, but now there is this NFL level passer who can hit all the throws as well. If I am the rest of the NFL I am scared of what he could be this time next year.

You’d rather force a team to run 10-12 plays drives than 2 play drives though. Your secondary is your so-called strength and you hang them out to dry. That’s bad strategy no matter how you slice it, even if you know you’re overmatched.
and yet almost every team bypassed him and some twice. I thought for sure the Patriots would have taken him, especially knowing he ran an EP system in college and McDaniels liked him.

Yeah I was really shocked they passed. Thank god, now we have a bright future with a potential superstar qb and they’re gonna hold on to Brady as long as possible
Him evolving into an NFL level passer was not a forgone conclusion. Hindsight is beautiful but right now Rosen is awful and most of this forum loved him so its not like there is some super easy way to pick a QB. The one thing everyone did have right though is that he would need a year to properly develop as a passer and whelp here we are and he has come a long way. I do wonder if he can go outside deep as well as inside but he has tons of time to grow more especially when he also improved pocket awareness.

Rosen is one year into his career, its way too early to write him off.

Or, as the saying goes - until November 3rd 2019.

Nah, it is evident. Doesn't have it between his ears and that screws up everything below his head.

That tends to happen when you get thrown to the wolves, he could be broken now though

I tend to agree. And it sucks because I was real bullish on Rosen. Seems he thought he was gonna be the man without question, he went to a trash situation and didn’t work for it, and got destroyed, then went to a trashier situation and now it’s about to get even worse. By the end of this year Rosen is gonna be David Carr 2.0 it looks like
I was bullish on Rosen as well. I liked Rosen, Mayfield then Jackson. I thought Darnold had potential and Allen was the big bust in my eyes.
He hasn't really been given a chance and I feel it is a little to early to make that decision. I'm hoping he gets a chance this season and next year, if he isn't in Miami, he gets a real chance to succeed. I agree his chances have dropped tremendously.
This is a breakdown of the offensive and defensive snap counts:

What a bunch of losers. Essentially giving up. Shame that Flores already lost the team.

I agree, but it is a tough situation. Miami is in full rebuild mode. They have gutted their roster and have left little doubt that this season is a wash. I can understand how players feel but quitting should never be the answer.

But now these players have the reputation of being quitters when the going gets tough. The more-talented players on that squad may get some leeway but that's about it.

Its pretty much Tua to Miami at this point

Eh, I disagree. Players want to win and compete, and as always coaches have to put players in a position to compete. Then There’s the livelihood part, where players are fucked over by playing for a tank team and they’re less appealing to teams when they become free agents. Also who tf wants to get a lisfranc or Achilles in their 14th straight loss and rehab that shit next season...
I'm sure Tua is thrilled
