It's not looking good for him.

I was so wrong about him coming out of college lol…
I really liked what i saw from him in UCLA… and then he showed that ego of his after the draft.. and it crashed downhill from there.
i will say though, if you dont have a coaching staff and franchise that truly invests in your development, you have no chance..
And he hasnt had that and it may be too late for that opportunity… more quarterbacks come out of college every year and teams are going to look at the prospect of a junior coming out.. theyre not going to invest on a guy whos been bounced around 4 teams in 3 years -

I never understood the hype. I’m an Oregon season ticket holder and I remember him getting recruited, and they talked him up as “Josh the chosen Rosen”. Saw him play and was completely underwhelmed. He never stood out to me as a QB who would amount to a hill go beans. Didn’t get they hype in college and didn’t get the hype with him going pro.

Rosen signed with the Falcons today, so his saga lives on. He'll also be working with the same coach that Tannehill had in Tennessee, so there's a potential feel-good story there of his resurrecting his career.

And let's be real, being a backup is a good business. How much money has Blake Bortles defrauded owners of?
Lot's of people come into the league with lots of hype, talent and drive. Lots fail regardless. -

Rich or not, if the kid is on an NFL roster, then he's working his butt off to get better.Hooligan, Dol-Fan Dupree and Two Tacos like this. -
If you want to root for him, go for it. For any reason.
But the likely endpoint here is that he is a bust who at best becomes a journeyman backup bouncing around the league. Personally, I'm not impressed by a (rich) kid keeping himself around on the fringes, but if he's a guy you followed in college I can see why one would want him to breakout.
And being a backup can be an incredibly lucrative thing. Not as much money as a starter, but career longevity and much less wear and tear for the post football years. Its probably one of the best jobs out there tbh.
