Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Why would that kid bother going through the garbage system of minor league baseball and possibly never even get anywhere?

He's a millionaire kid. He's going to keep changing his mind and leaving people hanging. Like anyone, he's going to pursue his best option. And if people are dangling millions to play football he is going to look at it, especially if it means becoming an instant NFL celebrity vs a minor leaguer with a fat bonus.

LSHMEAB Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I'm always surprised when someone chooses football over baseball all things being relatively equal.  Baseball players have it made in the shade. As to the topic, I put the odds of Rosen being traded at .05 and the odds of Murray going number 1 at .01. Prominent name that comes to mind as a Michigan fan is Drew Henson; the guy Lloyd Carr kept trying to start over Tom Brady! Chose baseball over football despite the fact that he was a likely first round NFL QB. Turns out he sucked at both.

Plus Kingsbury was around Rosen in college, for all we know he might not like Rosen from his attitude in college and love Murray's attitude. I'm wildly speculating at this point but I definitely see your point. I see more teams swinging for the fences on Haskins in the first, but Murray seems like he's in the convo cuz there isn't much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWins Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I wouldn't mind seeing both Haskins and Murray being drafted in the top 8 picks. That just means that the Bills get a shot at the 7th best positional player (non-QB) in this years draft.  It's interesting though that there were rumours around the 2018 Draft that both the Bills and Arizona valued Allen over Rosen. Bottom line is that I'm quite happy that McBean zeroed in on Allen as their choice. Time will tell but I think that McBean "killed" this past years draft getting Allen, Edmunds, Phillips, Johnson, Neal and Teller. McBean also acquired Foster and Wallace. Another solid draft like that and signing a few more FA should have this team looking it's best in many a year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If this actually happens it proves to me the NFL has gone officially bat feces crazy. I'm not a big Rosen fan and think the Bills got the right Josh but Arizona was a dumpster fire and to discard Rosen after this season seems insanely premature. To do it to draft either Haskins or Murray seems to me to be doubling down on crazy. Now if this were two years from now and the Clemson QB was coming out it might and I emphasize MIGHT be a smart move. Right now Arizona needs to trade away their #1 pick for as many draft picks as someone is willing to give them. Paraphrasing what was said in Animal House: "they need the dudes".  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even hear him speak before I formed an opinion. Was watching with my Jets fan friend months before  the draft. We both took one look at the expression on his face and his body language and tagged him as a d-bag that neither of us wanted to lead our team.  We could both be wrong, perhaps Rosen is a real swell guy and will thrive in the NFL. As it stands right now, we're both happy that he didn't land on our team.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
