Josh Rosen had a great Pro Day. It's a beautiful day in California, but windy. He chose to throw in windy conditions anyway. He's a great kid. He is our guy. He's a Buffalo Bills' gamer. Great footwork and throwing mechanics. Can make all the throws. Has a great pocket presence. Fearless. He was a Five Star recruit, too. 5 star recruit stuff is getting a little silly, Ryan Leaf was also a 5 star recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I try my best not to do this, but, I'm all aboard the Rosen express. I like other players at the position, Darnold, Mayfield, Falk, but Rosen I feel like would be perfect for the Bills. He's ready. He's got everything you want in a QB. I'm ready to deal 12, 22 and next year's 1st to the Giants or Colts. Full Court Press. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Love his play on the field but his demeanor just turns me off.... Even David Carr called him out for his awkward laugh and statements on NFL network. Just said he’s a different kind of guy.... Its tough to get 100% on board with that. Saw Rudolph had a great day.

I kind of liked his “aw shucks” comment. I mean does every guy have to be a boring talking head? I like his personality from what I’ve seen but thats probably just me. Mayock complimented him on his natural throwing. What is he supposed to say? Thanks? They would say he’s so boring like Eli. He could say “Yeah I know i have the best arm.” Then people would say hes a cocky no good rich kid. He’s a 20 year old kid who gave Mayock and quirky answer. I liked it. I think he realizes that people who have decided he’s some liberal rich kid are going to critcize him no matter what he does. I respect him for deciding to be himself rather than pretend to be something he is not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Eric Galko has said McDermott isn’t turned off by Rosen’s attitude.

From all the interviews I've watched of him, I don't see any reason for a team to be turned off from him. Maybe ppl think he comes off cocky at times, but I hear nothing but confidence. And at the quarterback position, if u don't have confidence, you mind as well start planning for the near future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they think he’s the guy? I’m all in. i personally would have liked him to humble himself there... not just a “thanks”.., But “Thanks Mike, that’s a big compliment considering some of the QBs who have played the game in the last decade, I appreciate it”... or is that to Eli?

He talked the same way at his post-pro day workout and in the combine interview. It came off as that's just the way he talks, as though he's brainstorming for a 5 page essay and pouring out every concept that comes to his mind, almost free association. I don't really care - as long as he can be concise in calling a football play, or explaining it to a confused teammate. But for interviews in the NFL, he 100% needs Crash Davis to help him work on his cliche's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLandsMeanie Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I don't think any team should have to put up with a guy who is awkward. I wouldn't sleep at night knowing they didn't adore his personality and quirky sense of humor. And I am deeply worried about his reported intelligence. Having an intelligent man on a football team presents a very big problem if your coaches and players are deeply stupid morons. I am going to go on record and say I don't care how well he throws or plays the game. I think we should go on losing, and losing, and losing, and losing and losing, and losing, and losing and losing, and losing like the stupid losing losers that we are. We have a tradition to uphold and our guys shouldn't be forced to be around a smart awkward guy. I think they should march into smart awkward Terrence Pegula's office and tell him they will not stand for having a smart awkward player on the team because they can barely stand being around him and two of them is too much to ask. And that he should keep his smart rich children away from the team as well because everyone hates well educated smart rich kids.

In fact sometimes I’d even tell that person directly to their face. “Listen here oddball Jones, if I were picking teams for the good ol’ American football league you wouldn’t even get a sniff from me.” I’d say.
