Thanks for the response. My reaction is that If Rosen gave that response he would in fact be less genuine. That’s just not who he is imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBJ, TO, Cam Newton etc I could name a dozen more who just are misunderstood by people, teammates etc and it just isn’t worth it... Ive never been a fan, sorry. Call me Awkward I don't see any similarities to those guys and Rosen. McDermott is a William and Mary grad and a bright guy so I'm sure he can handle Rosen. I don't think Rosen is a bad guy. Needed to grow up a little but seems like he has. Edited March 16, 2018 by BuffaloRebound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. The one thing I can say is in his combine interview, he struck me as the sort of guy who never says one word when 25 will do. Conciseness can be a virtue. But that is something that can be taught, and learned. Edited March 16, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t have a problem with him doing his best Michael Jackson impression (crotch grab) on national tv. But you really have a problem with Rosen saying “ahh shucks”? Agree to disagree I guess. I love the cut of that kids jib. Thought this was a Rosen thread... I said people think, media says, and other outlets say he may have some awkwardness to him... just saying in the “Rosen Pro Day thread” awkwardness may be a bigger deal then folks want to believe. Sorry, I thought the Ah schucks comment was a little awkward being his response to a great compliment by Mayock after his pro day. David Carr is the one who called it awkward, I just agree because I felt the same way before he even commented on Rosen’s response. We can find a Mayfield pro day thread and I’ll mention my dislikes about him there. I like Rosen, I really do. But the awkwardness may be tough. I’m saying that, analysts are saying that, media a so forth. Not a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Ballin Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I couldn't care less about his awkwardness. David Carr calling him out. Don't care for David Carr. It would have been a bigger deal if he looked awkward throwing the football. There is someone here who put Rosen in the same sentence with Ryan Leaf out of nowhere. Now that's bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I must say is, Everything you hear about Rosen being awkward is away from the game for the most part.... have they not interviewed Conor McDermott, his starting LT from the 2016 season? I’d like to hear what he has to say about all this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

billspro Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I am completely fine with his personality. He actually reminds me of Eli Manning a bit. As long as he plays well on the football field his teammates will rally around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he would have answered the question like a mature adult. You know, because he has such a long history to go off of in that respect. And since you were the first to make the comparison. If any qb in this draft reminds me of TO and the like its Mayfiled. Crotch grab, 50 yard line flag stomp. But you know, Rosen said “shucks”.

I stormed the beach of normandy when you were just a glimmer in your grandmothers hope chest! Back then when id see an awkward person I’d think, that guy would not make a good football player. 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. But now, I think I’m ready to allow it. Rosen just better know that he’s skatin’ on thin ice with us normals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 How does a team take a QB in the top of the 1st round who already has concussion issues? I cannot justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
