Unlike Josh Allen, Josh Rosen may face the toughest road to starting week one for the Arizona Cardinals.

Sam Bradford, though injury prone, is likely to be the Cardinals’ starter when the team opens their season.

But, as has been proven time and time again, it’s highly unlikely Bradford plays an entire season. I don’t mean to speak ill of him, that’s just the way it’s been.

With that being the case, I would fully expect to see Rosen starting for the Cardinals at some point this season and whenever he does, I don’t think they will look back.

If you’re betting on week one starters, however, I would put him at the bottom of the list barring injury.

Rosen is the purest passer in this year’s class, so I could see him being impressive in training camp and preseason play, but patience will pay off in this case.
