i see your point. ever consider they may come out of the gate hotter with Rosen at the helm?? Players aint fools...they know Rosen is their QB... they will gravitate to him unless he is a complete screw up....and they may likely play harder for him as well.
bradford has garnered some resentment in the nfl due to the checks he has collected vs his output ...I aint saying that is cool or anything, but all the tweets every time he signs a contract makes that clear. If Rosen shows the work ethic and the aptitude he may have more respect from the team than Bradford....
plus, Rosen is better at looking off a safety than Bradford is IMHO.
plus, there is this...

"Essentially, Rosen has inherited a quarterback support group in Arizona.
He’s surrounded by a group of veterans who seem to know they can’t beat him out for the job, not after the Cardinals selected him No. 10 overall. Bradford seems to have already resigned. That leaves Mike Glennon and undrafted rookie and Princeton product Chad Kanoff"
Some are of the opinion Bradford is putting in more work as a coach than as a starting QB.... Which I am fine with, and happy about. I remember Bradford before the injuries...dude was amazing and I was nervous when we played against him. he is talented... but IMO Rosen is more talented....that can partially be demonstrated by recognizing that Bradford was recruited by Oklahoma,...and Rosen was recruited by UCLA... Both good schools but IMO UCLA is the superior football school even if it is a bigger deal at OK... Bradford was barely recruited while Rosen was a top prospect and HS all american..
its not out of bounds to think Rosen can light it up from the get go like Bradford did or better hopefully... Bradford completed 60% for 3500 yds and 18 TD's his rookie year...with 15 INT's
I am pretty sure with 60% completions and 3500 yds Rosen would have more than 18 TD's on the season...since Bradfords Y/A was only 6... Rosen has a bit more of a balls out mentality than that
