Except for the last game in 2015 (albeit the most important game of his career) he seems to play well whenever he sees Buffalo. Unless he’s in a Bills uniform. In that case it’s a coin toss. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be easier to see him resurfacing as a good QB if he landed in one of those spots. Miami has been a dumpster fire for a while, so Rosen has a difficult row to hoe. Yeah, I think Rosen is one of those QB who are gonna end as possible examples of "how to ruin a QB" or at least "how to ensure a young QB never achieves his potential, whatever that was" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are teaching him how to throw a football. From the article: Meanwhile, Rosen showed some of the potential that had the Arizona Cardinals trade up to the tenth-overall pick in 2018 to select him. Tight spirals with some pretty touch led to multiple touchdowns during the practice. Getting some extra first-team snaps after Fitzpatrick was forced to run following the botched snap, Rosen took advantage. That is not to say Rosen was perfect on the day, throwing a couple of inaccurate passes and having at least one interception, but it was clearly the potential quarterback-of-the-future’s best performance, and it was the best performance among the quarterbacks on Saturday. 34 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Yeah, I think Rosen is one of those QB who are gonna end as possible examples of "how to ruin a QB" or at least "how to ensure a young QB never achieves his potential, whatever that was" Agreed. Love him or hate him, his career path will be so jacked up it’d be shocking if he actually hits his potential and in the nfl you don’t succeed at qb unless you maximize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be a complete bust, but will constantly float around as a marginal starter. TBH, I'm not sure Rosen has the personality for that. Part of the secret to Fitz long career is that he evidently possesses the quality of engaging teammates. He's smart but he wears it lightly - as something that can help a teammate out. He's funny; he's likeable; he engages people. I think Rosen probably isn't the **** he's been portrayed as being, but I believe some reports that he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and he lets it show.
