Josh Rosen's intermediate & vertical game


Recommended Posts

It's a good 9 minute watch...Enjoy

 

 

My greatest source of joy with Rosen is his intermediate and vertical accuracy. It’s a beautiful and consistent process.

 

To add some perspective to Rosen’s prowess, there are a lot of NFL quarterbacks who lack Rosen’s consistent range and accuracy in the vertical game. When you hear about quarterbacks who can throw the ball 60-70 yards, it’s best to consider the range of distance they can consistently deliver pinpoint throws.

 

The most common range for NFL quarterbacks is 40-50 yards.

 

Rosen’s is a tier above.

Good stuff. I'm a Rosen lover because to me he is clearly the best quarterback prospect. He is one of the best I have seen in a few years. I don't understand why it is even a debate. The concussions I get, but I think it is obvious he is better than the other guys. I am hoping a praying that he is the guy we get.

I have watched this, Waldman is always worth listening too.

Thee are so many talking heads spinning nonsense about the draft and particularly the QB's.

I find it worthwhile to cut through the nonsense  and seek out the opinions of those who are actually experienced at doing  film study of QB's.

It seems like those that actually study film- prefer Josh Rosen overwhelmingly.

This includes Waldman, Josh Norris and the God father of film study himself Greg Cosell.

For me it is the commitment to the game. Not putting in the work every week with tape, the weight room, working with receivers, and the playbook. But wether he wants to be in the league still in 6 years. I feel like the guy could retire in. Relatively short order and at the peak of his career.

He's from a very wealthy family.  He doesn't have to play at all.  Too much nitpicking.

Agreed!

 

This is where I am at. Why would he play football and put his life at risk when he could be doing anything else? He clearly loves the game and has a passion for it, otherwise he wouldn't do it. 

 

Some guys play for the paycheck, their only chance to make it out. He plays because he loves it.

He wants to be the best so he can spin that into a successful post football business career. He won't accomplish his goals if he quits. Nobody is going into business with a wishy washy quitter. His reputation means more to him than that.

I actually tend to think that he's a very driven individual. Mayfield's competitive instincts are more visible/demonstrative but I suspect that Rosen too is a determined, result oriented, hard bitten guy. They are just different personalities. I very much doubt that we will see a lazy, uncommitted player. Somebody else started a stupid thread about his being a jew, but I do think that this personal identification is possibly a powerful motivational driver. I think he wants to be the first jewish QB to win a superbowl, to be the Sandy Koufax of football and successor to Sid Luckman.. Hope we can reel him in.

He's a competitor. He's fearless in the pocket. Bill Laimbeer of the Detroit Pistons came from a wealthy family and was one of the most hard working blue collar tough guy players in the history of the game. There is nothing to believe that he doesn't have the fire in his belly.

It’s really not much of a debate. Rosen has been the leader in the clubhouse since the college season started. Not much has changed. It’s all a matter of degrees, anyway. But what separates him is very important at the next level: ball placement. I like Darnold and Mayfield, too, but they aren’t as polished yet.

There might be an even bigger fire in his belly because of his family's wealth...

Wow, that was eye-opening. I thought he was weak at long throws. But Waldman is a consistently excellent analyst and that was a good video.

 

Thanks, OP.

Nobody asked you. His hero is Troy Aikman. Would Troy Aikman be who he is if he played on some bad Cowboys teams and then quit before they won anything?

Its painfully obvious that he is the best there is.  I hate to say it but he reminds me of Brady with  maybe 1/4 of the bitchyness.

 

I cannot imagine him not going #1 overall. Well the Browns are dumb so I cant see him getting past #2.  The Giants aren't dumb enough to pass on this kid.  We have to trade up to #1 for this guy.

After watching the moves that have been made in the last week; I get the feeling that Rosen is indeed Mcbeane’s target. Trading Tyrod to Cleveland may have been a stroke of genius. If it keeps the Browns from drafting Rosen #1 and we can trade up with the Giants!!  The draft can’t get here soon enough!!

Imo the Browns know Rosen is good too. Even after passing on the studs in past years, but I think they want Barkley...BAD! That puts them in a fix because if they take a Qb at #1 , Barkley won’t be there at #4. I’m not sold that the Giants wouldn’t take Rosen either. 

He does come across as a “pretty boy” , but he is confident and competitive. It burns him to lose, is the best way to say it!

That's the beauty of a message board. No one has to ask me when I see something stupid being written.

 

So you think he's going to play so he can get a good announcing gig after playing? Plenty of guys wash out, no one, especially now, is not going to go into business with Rosen if he fails or opts to retire early.

 

All he would have to say is I've had concussion issues and I don't want to risk my brain. And he'd be largely applauded by society, just not the Neanderthals like you who occupy football message boards.

 

I was holding back, what you said wasn't only ridiculous. It was absolutely stupid and out of touch with reality.

 

Steve beuerlein announces games. What the hell are you talking about?

He doesn't want to be an announcer. You arent worth responding too. If you think the greats of the game don't have more clout than someone like Jake Locker who flamed out then you are a lost cause. Go play in a sandbox somewhere and leave the real discussions to the big boys

Do you have any examples of what you're talking about? I'm pretty sure you don't. You're an idiot. You haven't supported a point you made yet.

His

 own set of challenges? He wants to lead UCLA to a conference title and eventually become a Super Bowl–winning, All-Pro quarterback who can make enough money off the field to play for the league minimum so his team can spend its salary cap space on his teammates. After football, he wants to work in venture capital and model his post-football life after the business success of former Bruins quarterback Troy Aikman, who has owned multiple businesses and dabbles in real estate.

Do some research before you respond to people. You come off like a sad lonely person that needs to get attention putting people down on the internet. This message board doesn't need anymore ignorant people so take a hike if you don't have anything constructive to add

None of that article supported anything you said.

 

But it appears you're move is to just say no one has anything to add when your original point was something someone could say the same about.

Wow. Those are some amazing throws. Rosen seems to be legit. He could be a real trajectory changer for us. Fingers crossed. To have a real franchise QB, seems to be good to be true. 

Is it? Can it? Are it?

 

ohhhh mykidsdad

This is just a big guess and not based on anything substantial at all.

I'm going to enjoy watching him on whatever team drafts him, but it won't be the Bills. 

 

We aren't moving up to #2, Guys. The Giants aren't trading out. Or, if they do, it won't be for less than 12, 22,  next year's 1st, and one of this year's 2nds. But I'm not holding my breath.

 

Get over it. Lamar Jackson at #12 is in the cards.
