Mark Bullock recently posted some excellent analysis of Rosen on his Twitter. Encourage everyone to go look at it. High points:

- he was sacked 45 times in 13 games. Like to put that in perspective our injured ass offensive line gave up 45 sacks all season long.

- if you go back and look at most of those sacks, they're mostly a product of two things:

1) the defensive line would win IMMEDIATELY. Rosen was getting hit by the time he was planting his leg at the top of his drop. Never had a chance.

2) The Cardinals offense was really, really poorly designed. For example leave Danielle Hunter of the Vikings unblocked with no hot route. Or go empty set with no check down options available - nothing but 10-14 yard curls. They gave Rosen no chance to succeed.

Now when he does get hit he needs to hold onto the ball. We had that problem with Cousins and it needs to be dealt with - but putting much of anything on Rosen for last year's performance is definitely unfair. The coaching there was an abomination, the scheme about as well thought out as a high school offense, and the line was incapable of winning one on one physical matchups with most opponents.
