You get no return for Rosen, he has been awful at every stop.  Not bad, AWFUL.  What physical traits does he have to ignore his track record of terrible?   As for pedigree... thats just another way to say draft status.  Its a meaningless platitude.  What is his pedigree?  Was he bred from good bloodlined?  He was overdrafted.  He is a bust on his 3rd team, or is it his 4th?   His "pedigree" is gone, whatever it was.  He is likely out of the league this year.

All good points.  I was just throwing the question out there.  Is his potential shot?  Can the right team wake him and get the most out of him?

I'd suggest, it was never there.

It's quite possible.  Let me also make sure it's known I'm not suggesting they should have signed Rosen instead of trading a 6th for Minshew.  Just looking at how different teams attack the backup position.   

I do think the argument of trading for Minshew during the draft rather than signing Flacco is one that should be had.

Sure.  Separate argument though.

Seeing Josh Rosen on the Falcons.  Would it have been a better use of resources to sign him to see if you can resurrect him or the 6th for Minshew?

From a pure talent level, Minshew can't touch Rosen.  

I think Rosen’s talent was severely overvalued.  I don’t think his 10 cent head helps him either.

I doubt the trade was there to be made at the time Flacco was signed in late March.  Everyone knew the Jags would draft Lawrence, but Minshew being so outspoken during camp about wanting to be the starter makes it more difficult to keep him there as the backup.

Do you think instead of the steel curtain like the Steelers we could get Minshew's meat curtain?

Likely would have cost more to make the trade during the draft.  This is the absolute best time to make the trade.  Lawrence is the starter, he is healthy, team doesn't want the Minshew chants from the home crowd and media if Lawrence is playing poorly.

Meh.  Chad Lewis would have turned up field quicker.  

Seriously.  The way they slobbered all over him on that play was ridiculous. Bleacher Report sent me an update on my phone. What an incredible dump off and vision for him to catch it and run towards open field.  Transcendent decision by Kyle Pitts.

He should be a good to great player.   But I hated the idea for us in the top 10.  But then again I didn’t care for drafting a tiny WR there either.  

Agreed with the bolded. That would have been a very stupid pick given all the other needs.  Not to mention there hasn’t been a worthwhile tight end drafted in the top 10 maybe ever?  If the little guy can stay healthy (and that’s a big if), I think he’s gonna be a very special player for us.  His movement and body control is different than any other arsewipe WR we’ve ever drafted. 

There seems to be a mix all across the league of teams that didn't play the whole preseason or at least the key players on the team.
