Meh, Baker's a dick. Rosen went sour on me with his salty whining about only being drafted in the top ten.
Boomhauer seems cool.

Most athletes are dicks. Losing out on money and being passed over for other players is reason to be upset. He’s a competitor. Really dumb reason to sour on him.

Losing out on money? He left Dallas with 8 figures more money in his bank account than he did when he walked in. Hell of a lot more than he was making in college, imo. More money than I'll see in like 20 lifetimes, tbh.
Poor Rosen.

I wish the Ravens could just move on from Joe "Launch it deep and pray for pass interference" Flacco right now. I'm done with that guy, all he's doing is stealing reps from a more exciting player.

What do you mean "Losing out on money?" Yes, he lost out on money. The higher pick you are, the more money you make.
The #10 pick last year Mahomes will make 16 million over 4 years. The #1 pick Garrett will make 30 million. So yeah, being passed over 9 times cost him half his potential earnings roughly.

He didn't lose anything, because he walked in with nothing. Be grateful you got drafted. All this tells me is he's not really in football for love of the game. You're guaranteed high-level coin when you're in the NFL. But he wants that smidgen more money when he's not even going to know what to do with the money he'd get if he got drafted 50 spots later. Red flag, for me. I am, however, eager to see how a rich Rosen plays as opposed to the college Rosen. I think he will fall short of expectations.
No reason to whine. If you love the sport, you wouldn't give a shit what number you got drafted at.

Lmao, what a hilariously naive way to view things. He's smart enough to understand his value, as every person should.

College football and NFL football are entirely different things. The greatest quarterback in college history plays minor league baseball now.
Be grateful, not greedy.

Not sure what Tebow sucking has to do with anything, that's a given.
Wanting to be paid what you're worth is not "greedy". WTF

We don't know what he's worth yet. He's never taken an NFL snap his entire life, but he's still getting paid 8 figures.
I'd be a grateful person.

Rosen basically lost out on 10+ million dollars because archaic NFL leadership structure is intimidated by intelligent, independent-minded young people.
I'd be just as pissed as Rosen. Greed has nothing to do with it.

Gotcha. So this is more of a class tension issue than anything. Explains why you mentioned his income relative to yours as if that mattered at all...

Again, he left the NFL draft with 8 figures more than what he had when he walked in. He lost nothing.
$0 + $17 million = $17 million.
This $10 million dollar loss you speak of is unjustified and has no merit on anything.

You're not going to the NFL. Your willingness to be undervalued and work for peanuts in a hypothetical scenario doesn't matter.

He viewed himself as the best QB in the draft, as an alpha male competitor should. Maybe you want an "aw shucks" beta QB who is just happy to be there. I want someone who knows they're the best and expects to be valued as such.

Using 20/20 hindsight to make a point is stupid, so it would make no difference.
