Josh Rosen Scammed the NFL

This week, Josh Rosen was cut by the San Francisco 49ers, failing to gain the 3rd string quarterback job over Nate Sudfield.

That’s not a typo. There is a professional quarterback named Nate Sudfield that no one on Earth has ever heard of yet he still took Rosen’s job. Josh Rosen is so bad the 49ers called me in for a tryout and I can maybe throw a football 5 yards downfield if I try my hardest and like, had breakfast that morning.

In 2018, the Arizona Cardinals selected Josh Rosen with the 10th overall pick of the NFL draft.

Here is Josh’s response to “dropping” to 10:

Josh Rosen on being drafted 10th: “There were nine mistakes ahead of me.”

Reminder: he was literally just cut after failing to beat out Nate Sudfield for third string.

In hindsight, we should’ve seen his failures coming.

His own college coach at UCLA, Jim Mora, came out and said that he’d rather draft division rival, Sam Darnold, over his own player.

Imagine you asked your favorite high school teacher for a college recommendation and Mr. Schultz wrote a letter telling the admissions office you are a terrible student and they should accept someone from another high school instead.

Probablyyy should’ve been a red flag right there but he still went Top 10.

Josh Rosen was drafted ahead of Lamar Jackson.

Lamar has an MVP trophy.

Josh Rosen is working on cover letters to attach with his resume right now.

The 2018 Arizona Cardinals were a disaster.

Rosen led the team to a tremendous 3-13 record throwing for a booming 2,278 passing yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

He completed 55% of his passes and was sacked 45 fucking times. He also led the league in throwing pick sixes. He was the best at helping the other team score.

Just one of the worst seasons in NFL history.

So naturally, Arizona fired the entire coaching staff and the new regime used their no. 1 pick to select to replace him with Kyler Murray.

They were so desperate to get away from Joshua they drafted a guy who genuinely almost became a professional baseball player.

It was either bringing back Josh Rosen or putting all their chips in on a guy who didn’t really want to play football. They chose the guy who didn’t really want to play football.

Rosen was shipped off to Miami the following year. He started 3 games. Lost all 3.

He hadn’t thrown a pass in a game since 2019, yet his career still lasted until today.

He was on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad last season. He was in the QB room with Tom Brady. The 6th round draft pick who turned himself into the greatest of all time and the top 10 pick who turned himself into

But no worries, he was signed by the 49ers midway through the season so he didn’t end up finessing his way to a Super Bowl with the Bucs he didn’t deserve.

You’d think after being in Kyle Shanahan’s system for a full year now, he’d easily sneak his way onto this year’s roster behind injury-prone Jimmy G and rookie Trey Lance.

Nope. Sucks still.

Kyle Shannahan gave Matt Ryan an MVP trophy and a Super Bowl appearance. He made Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard look like potential NFL starters. But Josh Rosen entered his program and Shannahan lost sleep trying to figure out how to teach Rosen how to throw a football.

But if I know scammers like Rosen like I think I know scammers like Rosen, this man will be back on an NFL sideline at some point this season. Hell, with Covid spiking again, he might be back on a field leading a 4th quarter drive. When he throws that game-losing pick six I’m going to laugh for 24 hours straight.
