You can't anointment him anything until we actual see him in real game action. I understand the team employs the media in order to keep fan interest and hype up.

In the interview CP said the exact same thing about seeing him in game action. Right now all he has is potential, and all the fans have is hope. Based on draft history, the odds say he has about a two-thirds chance of becoming a franchise QB. It will be great if things work out, but if they don't the Cards will just have to draft another QB who appears to have great potential. They wouldn't be the first team a team who has had to do that, and they wouldn't be the last. |

In looking at the schedule, I think the way this thing will shake out is either:
1) Rosen starts game 3 especially if the Cards get "waxed" at the Rams (game 2) .... my opinion was formed after reading this excerpt from the article link below about Bradford's Cap # and carryover for dead $$ in 2019.
Bradford Contract Details "But why is there only $625k of the potential $5M gameday roster bonuses accounted for in the ‘18 cap? Because teams don’t have to carry the full amount on the cap. They used last years number of games played to project this years gameday roster bonuses. Since Bradford only played 2 games last year, only 2 games worth of gameday roster bonuses need to be applied to this years cap, hence the $625k.
But what happens if he plays more than 2 games? Where does that money get accounted for? The answer is next year. If Bradford plays in 16 games this year, an additional $4.375M will be added to next year’s cap number bringing his ’19 cap to $29.375M. They would be able to release him before next year for a $9.375M dead money cap hit in that case."
2) If Cards get off to a 3-1 start (3 of first 4 games are at home), then Bradford will be given more slack and will (barring injury) be the QB until the AT Kansas City game (1st game after the bye). After game 9 of the season, the Cards need to be AT least 5-4 (maybe even 6-3 or better) or Rosen will start at home vs. Raiders. The team will be looking for the proverbial "shot in the arm" and after the bye there will be a lot of clamoring from the fan base to start Rosen; however the coaching staff won't want his first game to be at Arrowhead stadium so at home the following week vs. Raiders will be his debut.
But you left out all this info stv, which is rather relevant. Don't you think?
If SB plays every game this year then at the end of the season the cards will carry 9.375M in Dead cap, if they cut/release him before the the start of the 2019 season. IF the cards carry SB into 2019 then the Cap hit Jumps to $29.375. Right now the Organization is in fine shape with SB being the #1 QB. And even if they get 16 games out of SB they are not hurting.

I hope Bradford takes us to the Super Bowl - and keeps Rosen on the bench

I hope Bradford takes us to the Super Bowl - and keeps Rosen on the bench I agree that nothing good will happen for Rosen and the Cardinals fortunes if Bradford is riding the pine. We need Bradford to be effective and healthy for the entire season. |
