The self-entitled Josh Rosen

As college football fans know, Josh Rosen is the quarterback of the UCLA Bruins. He's currently finishing up his third year.

It seems mind-blowing that so many "experts" consider him as the top NFL quarterback prospect -- if, and that's a mighty big IF he decides to declare for the draft after this year. More on that below.

So let's check out dear Josh's stats while he was at UCLA.

His pass completion rate was roughly 60%. Not too bad, but certainly nothing eye-popping. Let's say average.

Average yards gained per pass? About eight. Yawn.

For every two touchdown passes he threw an interception. Not so good.

And in UCLA's final game of the 2017 season -- the Cactus Bowl -- Rosen had to sit out with his SECOND concussion of the year. BTW, the Bruins were blistered by Kansas State in that game.

Add it all up and what do you have? An average quarterback who can't seem to keep his brain healthy.

And this is where it gets completely nuts.

Rosen has made noises that if it looks like the Cleveland Browns might take him with the overall #1 pick in the NFL draft -- he might stay in school for another year.

Most teams, at least those with any functioning neurons in the front office, would howl in laughter at the very notion of making Rosen the first pick. But then again, we're talking Cleveland here, with the Detroit Lions the longest tenured sad-sacks in the NFL.

Like Eli Manning back in 2004, Rosen appears to be angling to get himself drafted by another team -- anybody but Cleveland. And oddly enough, the NY Giants, "duh brother" Jr.'s team, has the second pick. (How he somehow stumbled his way to two Super Bowl victories will forever remain a mystery of the ages).

Besides all the drawbacks listed above, there's the rub.

In order for Rosen to do some wheeling and dealing with teams regarding the draft, he needs an agent. But if and when he signs on with one, he officially forfeits any right to return to the college ranks. Those are the rules.

No pro team is going to listen to some punk college kid that thinks he can dictate how the draft works to his own advantage. In other words -- WHO DOES THIS SELF-ENTITLED PSEUDO PRIMA DONNA THINK HE IS?

And though yours truly isn't sure, it might well run afoul of NFL rules to talk directly with a potential draft choice anyway. The union most definitely would not approve. For better or worse, agents are pretty much a must these days, so somebody doesn't get bamboozled -- guess which entity?

It might be different if Rosen had truly lit it up during his three year college career. Let's say a 70% completion rate instead of 60%. And averaged, say, 12-15 yards per pass instead of a measly 8. And had 3-4 TD passes per interception instead of only 2.

But Josh Rosen hasn't done that. Good grief, as mentioned above, the dude is still recovering from his second concussion this year.

Huh. Come to think of it, that might explain things.

Only a guy with his brains semi-scrambled, who has been no more than an average QB in college for his three years, at a no better than average program, would deem himself entitled to "special" treatment.

Yeah, Cleveland sounds about right.

A perfect fit -- both ways.

The dumb and dumber adage lives on....
