Patriots: A Josh Rosen Trade is possible but He's a far cry from Ton Brady.

Josh Rosen was drafted by the Cardinals in first round of the 2018 draft. Rosen went 3-10 as a starter that season. David Johnson ran for 940 yards on 258 carries, so he had some help from the run game. Arizona had no offensive line and Rosen was sacked 45 times. 

Rosen did have Larry Fitzgerald catch 69 passes. His three main receivers were Fitzgerald, Kirk, and Johnson who totalled 1770 receiving yards of Rosen's 2200. That season, Rosen had 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. 

In 2019 the Dolphins traded for Rosen to be their future franchise quarterback and planned to develop him with help from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Rosen would get three starts and go 0-3. He threw for 567 yards, 1 touchdown and 5 interceptions. He was also sacked 16 times.

The dolphins had no run game to help out Rosen. They did have Davante Parker who put up 1200 yards and 5 other pass catcher who put up respectable numbers for depth guys. The Dolphins saw enough in Rosen to draft Tua as their franchise quarterback. Rosen appears to not even be good enough to challenge Fitzpatrick for the backup role.

Rosen has dropped back 502 times and and been sacked 61 times. He has a 54.8% competition percentage and about the only thing going for him is the fact that he has NFL starting experience.

Currently, the Patriots have Cam Newton,  who with his style of play, I expect to be done after the 2025 season. Then they have Brian Hoyer who should be the team's third string quarterback and a future coach in the NFL.

Then they have 2019 fourth round draft pick Jarrett Stidham. Like Tom Brady with Friesz and Bishop, Stidham was said he couldn't beat out Hoyer for the Backup job and did in 2019. In his rookie season, Brady went 1 of 3 for 6 yards, Stidham went 2 of 4 for 14 yards and a pick 6.

Like Brady heading into his second year in 2001, Nobody expected Brady to beat out the former number one on the roster and Brady started his second season on the bench with no NFL experience. Like Brady; Stidham will be sitting and learning behind a franchise quarterback going into his second season.

The Patriots will want to give Stidham competition in 2021 as Newton will probably play himself out of a contract this year. The Patriots signed Lewerke to be the next Brian Hoyer but could trade a future 2022 pick for Rosen. 

The Patriots could offer a 2022 sixth round pick for the young quarterback with it changing to a fourth if he manages to start in 2021. This gives the Patriots time to develop Rosen and have a competition in 2021 with Stidham. 

Unlike Brady who played with one team for 20 years, this will be Rosen's third team. That's the third thing to show why Rosen isn't Tom Brady 2.0 but could still be developed into a starter. Now, if Newton gets hurt or doesn't play well, Stidham is in line to replace him, thus making him closer to being the next Tom Brady. 

And let's be real, Newton didn't come into camp and run away with the job. He stayed even with Stidham until Stidham got hurt and won the job because he was getting more time and was the better playmaker. If Newton ran away with the job, we're not talking potential trade here.
