What if Rosen really knew it all along?

Take this for whatever it's worth and with the smallest grain of salt you can find, but Rosen has liked pretty much every single recent post on the Cards's Instagram account.

If this is a smokescreen, this is an epic one.

It would be crazy if Josh was in on the scam all along. Genius manipulation.

Some of the posters in this forum who discounted NFL rumors are blind to the fact that they are either 1) true 2) pushing an agenda. The media isnt making things up, usually an NFL team is leaking something for a desired effect.

Two things are true:

1. Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise in East.

2. On 04/25/19, the Arizona Cardinals will draft Kyler Murray with the #1 pick.

Absolutely, but the leaks can easily be to drive up value of:
A rosen trade
a draft day trade down for picks
etc

we have no idea what they are trying to drive up the most and to me it seems they are driving up value of everything.

If you want williams, bosa or murray, you are worried about us. The cardinals are doing a good job making the #1 pick super value even when there is not an andrew luck type in the draft.

I think Rosen was told he was out of here the moment before his Instagram was "hacked"

what I think has been communicated:

I think they have told Rosen something to the effect of "don't believe everything you see in the media this time of year" and that's it.

I also think its a near certainty his agent has called up Keim and asked if the team is committed to Rosen. I suspect Keim was non-committal ( …"yeah we are committed, but I also have to do whats best for the team").

I think this might explain the instagram thing: the agent told Josh that Keim didn't give the 100% commitment and Josh reacted.

Rosen gains nothing by speaking out. Maybe that is intelligence. Maybe it is his agent giving sound advice.


Even David Carr was posting "I see you" meme type selfies when the raiders were interviewing Murray. Rosens silence kinda feeds my thought that we are all in with him but hiding it. We'll see.

I normally have a good idea about these things, but I have no idea what to think. I stopped guessing and have no prediction on what's going to happen.

Of course Rosen gains by speaking out ... A QB needy team would want him before OTAs begin. If Rosen keeps quite then that team (not knowing Rosen's status) would move on to another available QB or decide to go draft instead, then Rosen is SOL! His silence tells me, he will be a Cardinal next year!

Murray or get a load of picks.. Bosa won't fix anything. Chubb and Miller are prime examples how that's worked for the broncos since Peyton retired. At this point..just load up on D.. stack it just like the Rams did.

If you look at Peyton’s personal performance I think an objective view would say the defense produced the wins.

Agreed.. but he also had a solid year that got them to the playoffs in the first place. His arm was crap, but he was able to manage a game better than anyone. Imo. I don't know if Rosen can do that, at this point in his career. Don't get me wrong.. I want to have a prolific defense that can go out and do the same. I just think we have to look how the game is changing as well.

All this talk about the Patriots being champs, but let's see how that works out for them when the goat retires. Maybe they get Rosen and he will become the new Brady.. then they can win another 6 rings!! I can see it now...
:koolaid:

The one year brady didnt play they were still juggernauts.

IMO Brady matters but this is Belichecks genius. Their gameplans change from one drive to another. They are the most flexible, well coached team of all time.

I am waiting for someone to weave in how the Illuminati fits into all of this before I can agree with this theory.
Rumor has it that the NFL is expanding and that one of its new teams will be the San Antonio Illuminati.

I look at it as a symbiotic relationship

I don't think Belichick wins all the Super Bowls without Brady. I'm not even certain that Brady is the QB he is without Belichick. They have such a good understanding of each other and what needs to be done to be successful.

Watch....the Patriots are going to reestablish their offense around Edelman, James White, and their running game. And it's going to work. Every time we count the Patriots out, they reinvent themselves.

They didn't make the playoffs either. I don't doubt Belichecks genius. I just think he also has the benefit of working with a guy that will go down as the best ever. Like saying Walsch would have been as successful without Montana .. I just think Brady is the brain of that whole offense. He is more than just a QB. Imo of course.
