The 2024 NFL season has been a resurgent, defining one for most of the quarterbacks picked in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Lamar Jackson is the reigning MVP. Josh Allen might be en route to the first MVP of his career. Sam Darnold is leading a surprisingly dominant Minnesota Vikings team. And Baker Mayfield is at the helm of a solid Tampa Bay Buccaneers squad.
The only person missing in this equation is former Arizona Cardinals signal-caller Josh Rosen, who flamed out of the league and never quite reached his potential. Hey, it happens. The NFL is a tough place to succeed. Not everyone is destined to shine at the highest level of football.
And that’s OK.
The only issue here is that the Sunday Night Football broadcast saw fit to highlight Rosen’s current lack of NFL activity while praising his 2018 peers as they were talking about their Allen-Jackson matchup. It wasn’t really out of bounds, but if he was watching, I’m very sure Rosen didn’t appreciate the unnecessary insult by reality:
Damn the broadcast did Josh Rosen so dirty 😭 pic.twitter.com/NE64ZSrWfO
