So they're admitting they wasted a second round pick. It's going to be 65 and sunny in Buffalo on Sunday it has nothing to do with the elements.
This is just sad. Nobody knows what they're doing. -
Gimme a break man. We took a flyer on him. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Doesn't mean it was the wrong decision. I thought it was a good chance to take then, and I still think it was a good chance to take today, even though it seems it's not gonna pan out. You only hit on those guys if you take chances on them...and guess what, most of those chances aren't gonna pan out.

However.. the speed with which it became clear that Rosen is a bust (top 10 among QB’s picked top 10 in the draft last 30 years IMO) does tell us we have bad talent evaluation and/or a bad coach.
So I won’t criticize the trade, but this is not a good sign for Grier/Flores being the right guys to build a championship team. And the only position(s) more important than the QB is the GM/HC.Hiruma78 and phinswolverinesrockets like this. -

Yo guys you realize how stupid Brian Flores looks and sound? Fitz is the starter no Rosen is the starter rest of the year only to switch back to Fitz less than a week later. This is the marking of a head coach who has no idea what the heck he is doing, usually coaches who are this unstable in their decision making end up getting fired.

So are we tanking or not?
Fitz has a real chance to mess this up and win us a game. With the Redskins playing as badly as they are, there's a good chance they end 1-15, so winning a game or two could be a real problem.resnor likes this. -

IMO we should call up Jake Rudock.. its a lost season we should check everything we got.

Though I will say I'd rather just roll with Rosen and see what happens than go to Fitz.resnor likes this. -

Let's be clear about the what Miami gave up to get Rosen because it wasn't as simple as using a 2nd round pick on him.
It was essentially a 3 team trade.
2019-------------------------------------2020
OUT #48 to Saints (2nd)
OUT #62 to Cardinals (2nd)
OUT #116 to Saints (4th)
OUT ----------------------------5th Rd. pick to Cardinals
IN #62 from Saints (2nd)
IN -------------------------------2nd Rd. pick from Saints
IN Josh Rosen
Putting it another way, they traded their second round pick for next year's 2nd round pick.
And then traded a 4th and next year's 5th for Josh Rosen.Puka-head likes this. -

The way I look at this is Rosen is a guy in a long string of guys who didn’t pan out with a 2nd round pick including: Beck, Henne, White and Culpepper.Vertical Limit, Puka-head and resnor like this. -

Unfortunately this is the move that screams of a dysfunctional management team that I have been dreading.
I wonder if the commissioner's office had something to say after that, alleged, going for the win but no chance of pulling it off two point play last week influenced the decision.
You traded for Rosen, and the starter not starter musical chairs game does him, nor the franchise any favors. -

The fact is they made a very public decision to go with Rosen. He was the guy now. And a few quarters later...he isn't. How anyone can argue that as other than dysfunctional I have no idea.
If in management's estimation Rosen needed to continue to improve then he should never have been named the starter. By switching again it brings the question of do they even know what they are doing?
Finish again with, the two point play was called to reduce the chances of winning. Even if it was a brilliant call, the execution of it by the hot hand QB was horrible. Neither is good. Poor preparation (QB flip flops cause that) or intentionally reducing the chances of winning (designed gameplan). Could be one or both...
