Hoyer for Rosen? One Patriots writer thinks so.

The Patriots have held a quarterback competition and although due to his injury Cam Newton was able to win the starting position by default due to limited practices, Jarrett Stidham has proved he could start and is looking more than capable being the team's back up.

Brian Hoyer signed with the Patriots with the chance to compete for the job. Somedays his accuracy was as bad as Cam Newton's, while other days it was as good as Stidham's. Hoyer is a great mentor and should be a future coach in the NFL.

Henry McKenna suggested that the Patriots make a trade in the coming days. McKenna throws out the idea of trading veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer for Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen. Rosen Simon his second team since he was drafted and has done little to show he was not a draft bust. He's still young, so there's a chance it was poor coaching and that he can still be developed. 

Rosen is 3 and 13 as a starter. He's thrown 502 passes, completing 54.8% of his passes for 2845 yards with 12 touchdowns and 19 Interceptions. Normally players with that many attempts are up around 4000 yards but his competition percentages says a lot. Rosen has been sacked 61 times in his career.

Incase you don't remember Rosen, I'll give you two different scouting reports on him.

Here's how Miami's Travis Wingfield scouted Rosen, "There are tools to work with, but he’s a long way away from being an effective NFL quarterback. The lack of niftiness in the pocket, the egregious decisions under pressure, and the unwarranted confidence to squeeze tight windows is going to make him a turnover machine early in his career."

Buffalo Rumblings writer Dan Lavole wrote, "In terms of the film, Rosen’s evaluation is practically a no-brainer. While he sometimes takes unnecessary risks with the football, and the right combination of pressure can force him into a sack, everything else about his game is mature and NFL-ready. Rosen has the athletic talent and processing speed to be an instant impact player in an NFL offense, and if he addresses his occasional lapses in precision and decision-making, his upside is tremendous."

His NFL comparisons from around the league, ranged from a potential Peyton Manning clone to a B-rated Sam Bradford. Huge difference. Huge, I don't get how scouting can vary that badly.

Both reports say he takes too many risks with his throws and his stats hold true to Wingfield's report that he takes too many sacks. Excuses can be made in his defense before I get crucified for circumstance. He's started but is his starting experience enough to compete with Stidham in 2021 and is he worth trading away Hoyer for?
