Horrendous. Theyre worried about not shaking his confidence playing him too early, so they put him in with 4 minutes for a game winning drive? Lol.

You put him in to start the game, or half-time, period.

It makes everything look so disfunctional and a total greese fire. Emberassing for Bradford too.

Bradford should be embarrassed as he did everything in his power to give the game away. All 3 of his AWFUL turnovers resulted in points. Every single one.

Agreed. It didn't make any sense whatsoever. They put Rosen in the toughest position to succeed.

Not saying he didnt deserve benching but creates a bad culture with moves like that, instability, have to make personnel moves the right way at least...

It's just not a good move. The kid is completely cold, never played a snap of NFL football before, and you're inserting him into an all or nothing, game winning drive situation at the very end of the game. Given no time to calm the nerves, develop a rhythm, nothin....

I really did not have a problem with it.

If this game shakes his confidence he was never going to succeed anyway.

At least Wilks was trying something to get the offense moving.

Leaving him in shows even more incompetence. 3 straight drives, 3 straight turnovers.

Bradford looked good until he got hit. At that point he played shell shocked. He was mentally done.

Rosen didn't look shaken in the situation. He looked like he belonged there. Hell he actually gave us a chance to win until McCoy's incompetence reared its ugly head again

I don’t like Rosen going in with 4 minutes to go in the game. However, I didn’t think there was a chance of us winning that game with Bradford in the game. The pick 6 that was called back shows how unprepared he is because it took 15 seconds to get the play called and fitz hadn’t even stopped his route yet. He needs to learn and the season is lost. Let the learning begin!!

Im not a fan of the fact he's got to learn from this coaching staff, hopefully his QB coach can insulate him from some of this but long term I don't think this is bad or anything just really a desperate move that came too late.

It's over now though you can't go back to Bradford now.

Have some else call the offensive plays. That would be shaking it up.

Kid was put in the most pressure filled situation a rookie can experience. If he his as mentally tough as ppl think he is, it is invaluable for his growth I guess

If its any consolation, Bradford looked extremely distraught after his 4th turnover.

Read that again. Damn this year sucks.

I dont mind the switch to Rosen, I just think it shouldve come sooner. Give the kid a drive or two to acclimate himself. Tough to be thrown into that situation as your very first taste of NFL football.

And he drove the ball down the field until a god awful 3rd and 2 call.

If they do not name Rosen the starter tomorrow, I will lose it

He looked fine until the pick 6 and got them near midfield after it was called back. He’s not fazed.

It's actually the worst decision I've seen from a Cardinals coaching staff, probabably since they moved to Arizona. Just bizarre. No issue with going with Rosen but the timing was absolutely idiotic. Rosen had no chance.

Completely, completely disagree.

right before the fumble, he had thrown a beautiful pass to a wide open Kirk. A big 30 yard play.

If we start Rosen against SEA, I'll be pulling for him to do well, and for Cardinals to win. Period. And I'll back here to happily say I was wrong. But I still think it would be a mistake to put the Rookie out there so early. At least wait till after the bye week!

So much this. Hard to get as excited for Rosen when he has so little room to grow with this coaching staff. I just have no confidence they will put him in a position to succeed.

Bradford's 2 ints - he stared down the WRs and threw it into double coverage. He had 2 fumbles on top of that and he's lucky he only lost one.

He's a 10 year vet that made mistakes that only a rookie should make.

I wanted to wait as well but Bradford looked lost since the regular season started.
