The 2019 NFL Draft is this Thursday and the Arizona Cardinals will be selecting first. Sports fans everywhere have there opinion of what they think the Cardinals will do. The big question is do you pick Kyler Murray and start over with a new franchise qb after just one year? Or do you pick Nick Bosa and add depth to an already above average defensive line?
Should the Cardinals give up on current QB Josh Rosen after just one season?
No. Here is 3 reasons why you stick with Josh Rosen.
The first reason maybe the simplest. He was the QB last year. Rosen was not very productive last season, but show me someone that was. He struggled along side a rookie head coach which makes me wonder if the Cardinals would have hired someone with experience would we even be having the Murray-Rosen debate?
The second reason you keep Rosen is taking Kyler is not much of an upgrade, if any. All the reasons people have been saying to pick Murray has to do more with new head coach Kliff Kingsbury's offensive scheme then it does with Murray's talent. Murray is more mobile than Rosen but how long does a mobile QB last in the NFL these days? We are in a copycat league and one can say the Kingsbury's hire was to copy what the Rams are doing. Well guess what? Rosen is more like Goff than Murray is.
The most important reason you keep Rosen is his maturity. This was a question coming in to his rookie season. After the season ended it may have still been on people's minds but it was definitely not the concern it was at the beginning of the season. Then the off-season came and for most it became "what if" we drafted Murray. But for Rosen he used it as motivation. He recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated that shows his maturity and passion for the game.
The Arizona Cardinals would benefit from sticking with the QB they traded up for in last year's draft.
