Should the Cardinals trade Josh Rosen?
The Arizona Cardinals have the number one pick in the draft, this could be the most interesting number one pick we have seen in a long time. Usually teams have the number one pick decided weeks before the draft, but the Cardinals have a unique situation. Josh Rosen was selected 10th overall by the Cardinals last year, should they consider taking another quarterback after only one year of Rosen?
Rosen was far from good last year, he had arguably the worst year from the first round rookie quarterbacks last year which include Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Josh Allen. Rosen posted 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, with a 55% completion percentage. This could be a reason that the Cardinals move on from Rosen, but he was also a rookie who was thrown into the fire early in the season. The Cardinals were also the worst team in the league last year, being bottom tier in defense which caused Rosen to not be on the field as much to make plays, also he had a very below average offensive line that caused Rosen to run for his life every snap.
The real reason is Kliff Kingsberry, the new head coach for the Cardinals. Kingsberry is known as an offensive guru, as well as a quarterback's coach. He has worked with different quarterbacks such as Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes, Baker threw for the most touchdowns for a rookie in the history of the league passing Peyton Manning with 27. Mahomes in his first full year as a starter threw for more than 50 touchdowns, and won the MVP. Kingsberry has said before that if he had the first pick he would "absolutley" take Murray with the number one pick... now he is in that position. Kyler won the heisman trophy this year as he was the best player in college football, and he fits Kliff's offense better than Rosen as Murray is a mobile quarterback. Rosen could also give the Cardinals a high second round pick in this years draft, and they have the quarterback that their head coach wants.
