Crazy nonsense .

I think the chances which define this are Murray has a lesser percentage to be a special QB than Rosen has just to be a good QB. I'm in the Rosen boat but I can still see the 'what if' & if Murray is selected and does meet that great criteria... watch out :)

The trade and draft of Rosen was a desperation move IMO. I was relieved they didn't mortgage the future for him by giving up the 2019 first or second round pick in the trade.

Neither quarterback is a slam dunk in the Andrew Luck mold. The only reason the Cardinals probably end up drafting Murray is the hire of Kliff Kingsbury.

If they do draft him, they better not trade Rosen for less than a first round pick this draft or 2020 . Rosen doesn't cost much and he's good
insurance if K.M. washes out early on.
That's the only reason I would want Murray in the first place...If we had Wilks I wouldn't even give it a second thought, Rosen all the way. Kingsbury literally drools when talking about this kid and we wouldnt allow the guy to pick him? If that's the case... Our front office is in shambles and doesn't operate like a top organization, which I don't think was ever in question. Lol .Jmo

'Drolling' - not a good thing, as health practitioners would tell you.

Sal Palentinio (sp?) said something compelling. He said every successful team has a great headcoach/qb relationship. That theory screams we are taking Murray.

So another talking head pontificates a vague statement and the Murray fanboys will lap it up like pablum.

Imagine the same scenario for a bust.

In the scenario the Cardinals traded 2 firsts, a third, and a fifth for a franchise QB the Cardinals would still have Rosen so are you supposing both players bust.

Not necessarily. Let's suppose Rosen only nets us back a 3rd or 4th rounder.

It's a pretty bad scenario here. And there's no guarantees in compensation yet. We're not really playing in a position of power - teams know we need to trade Rosen, and once a couple of those "interested" teams decide to go with a Haskins, Drew Lock, or walk away from the table, there could be one last team sitting there able to dictate all we're gonna get.

Palentonio has been around forever and he is just making an observation. Just like you have been doing. I would personally love that as well.. like Palmer and Arians, Brees and Payton.. not saying Rosen can't have this with KK. But the chance that he would have something special with Murray is more likely. Jmo

I would not trade Rosen until the Cardinals are sure they have their franchise quarterback so under the originally proposed scenario the Cardinals would still have Rosen and Murray to show for 2 firsts, a third, and a fifth.

So both would have to bust to create a dire scenario. More likely, one of those two quarterbacks would succeed.

It's a gamble no matter what we do. I would rather walk away from the table with the money in hand vs bet it all on a million to one shot.

This is a scenario that would be disastrous and is highly, highly unlikely.

I'm not in the game of dismissing arguments or insulting, so I'll respect your thoughts and what you'd do if you were GM, but there is no scenario where this works out. Not mentally for the players, not in terms of Rosen demanding a trade, not in terms of getting players enough snaps. It's not happening.

Even if your scenario came true, two quarterbacks won't be on the field at the same time. It's not like grabbing another OLB or CB.

I still can’t get over ppl complaining about 3rd and 5th rd picks after Jonathon Cooper, DJ Humphries and Robert Nkemdiche.
When 3rd round picks turn into Tyrann Mathieu, David Johnson, and John Brown, or 5ths that turn into serviceable players that build the belly of a team with an awful roster, it's worth mentioning.

Yea, I’m not sure why he keeps suggesting that. This is not high school or even college.

It worked out fine for the Cowboys. Players are not that fragile.

Comparing quarterbacks to OLB or CB is off the wall.
