2018 1st round pick is Josh Rosen

[MadCardDisease]

I wanted Darnold or Rosen. Didn’t think we would have a chance at either. So stoked!

 

[unseenaz]

Did they say 2 concussions last year?

that's certainly troublesome

 

[AZCB34]

Bradfords leash will be very short. Rosen is ready, but I still don't want to rush him.

I disagree. Only way Rosen plays if both QB's get injured. I believe he sits all year

 

[Brak]

Great, a concussion guy? Behind that porous OL? What could possibly go wrong??

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Hit or miss...... I LOVE the move, We finally went out on a limb to get a QBOTF, Most mocks had him as the 2nd QB off the board, and the cost to make the move was nominal at best.

Hope he stays healthy, and we're watching him win playoff games the next decade plus!!!!

 

[Brian]

If Cardinals fans aren't excited as hell over this, then I don't know what to think. Talk about a grand slam for the Cardinals. Getting arguably the best QB in the draft at #10 and giving up only a 3rd and 5th?!?

The problem is that it's a big argument.

Total diva, spoiled little rich kid.

I can't wait until the Steve Keim era is over.

 

[blindseyed]

At least it wasn't a punter

 

[Shane]

Love it VERY stoked... finally a QBOF to get excited about

 

[Carolinacacti]

Wow shocked me. good move

 

[splitsecond]

I am elated. That is all.

You excite easily. I watched a bunch of UCLA games with him at QB. There is a reason he slid.

 

[Borderrat]

Wow. Everyone was talking our first, first next year plus a 2nd to get one of the top QBs. Instead a 3rd and 5th. Great move considering we had extra picks.

Just shows some people are never happy. I like it. He is our guy. I am his fan. Go Big Red.

 

[slanidrac16]

Now find a way to get Hernandez and it would be the draft of the decade

No kidding. I'm waiting to see the QB who has no injury history, no flaws in his game and has never lost that some of these fans are waiting for.

 

[Russ Smith]

Yes he had 2 concussions, both this year. He missed the bowl game due to the 2nd one but everyone insisted he could have played they simply held him out as it made no sense to take any risk of him getting hurt since they knew he was going pro.

His injuries are a concern, both concussions and the prior shoulder. But IF he can stay healthy he has a chance to be good. He is a VERY smart kid, he has a good arm, great mechanics and throws a very catchable ball. i wish he was more accurate on deeper throws, and I wish he was more mobile, but if he can stay healthy he has a chance to be really good.

I guess we'll see but Bradford now seems somewhat redundant. It is interesting we did the contract so if Bradford doesn't play, he doesn't get paid beyond the signing bonus and base pay. The assumption was that was because of his injury history, but now maybe it's because of us drafting Rosen.

 

[unseenaz]

No kidding. I'm waiting to see the QB who has no injury history, no flaws in his game and has never lost that some of these fans are waiting for.

those guys come around once every 10-15 years, and cost a fortune to move up to get. love the value of this pick.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Wow.... Tough crowd.

We got what most experts pegged as the 2nd best QB in the draft, and didn't have to pay a Kings ransom.

 

[Praxis]

It didn't break the bank to move up and he has the tools to be a great QB. I'd have been more upset if weren't aggressive.

 

[BillsCarnage]

Matt Leinart 2.0?

No one was a bigger diva than Favre so I'm not sure that's much of an issue. If he can play, it won't matter. But for the Cardinals to get one of the best QB's in the draft rather than settling is a huge win.

Rosen may have been arguably the 1st but he was the consensus #2 in this draft from everything I saw. To get the #2 rated QB in the draft from 15 is a huge win. This isn't a project or a reach, this is a true QBOTF and the Cardinals didn't have to mortgage the farm for him.

I'm a Bradford fan so I'm not exactly thrilled about this move for his sake but for the Cardinals? A++++. They couldn't have scripted it any better.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Makes the reads and the throws.

Can he stay healthy? Concussions are not something you heal from.

Yes you do.

See: Sidney Crosby

 

[MartinD]

The Washington Post has him as the 2nd best QB in the draft (Darnold is #1). Said he gets tarred as the spoiled rich kid, because of his family, but his teammates lovel him. Now that he's a Cardinal, I'm rooting for him.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Keim just can’t pass on injury prone players. He loves gimps.

 

[Dayman]

Love the pick and the price.
