Good stuff here, how quickly people forget some of the Eli criticisms. I also like the comparison to Peyton Manning. My first impression of Josh Rosen when I started watching tape of him was Peyton Manning.
Josh Rosen criticized for same traits that have made Eli Manning a franchise-altering QB for the Giants

Good stuff here too, Cosell rates Rosen higher than Goff:
It's funny, people talk about Rosen's background as a negative whereas I see it as a positive. It was a positive for Eli too. Since Eli came from an affluent background with a highly successful father, NYC wasn't too big for him. It won't be too big for Rosen, either.

Eli Manning came from money out of Ole Miss back in 2004, with an arrest for public drunkenness on his record. He could be so mild-mannered and composed as to appear aloof in games, and he refused to play for the San Diego Chargers, influencing a draft-day trade just so the seemingly entitled QB could play for the Giants.
No one holds Manning’s affluent background against him now, nor his minor slip-up with the law, nor his lack of a rah-rah demeanor, nor his kicking and screaming to make sure he’d play in New York. Instead, he has two Super Bowl rings and is praised for his steady demeanor, intelligence, and remarkable example as a franchise QB.
Josh Rosen is Eli Manning -- minus the arrest. Or at least the UCLA quarterback is the closest thing to the next Eli in this heralded 2018 QB draft class. And after a decade-and-a-half of stability at the sport’s most important position under Manning, it’s fair to say the Giants’ search for a franchise QB this spring is essentially the hunt for Eli 2.0.
Rosen is that, from his perceived flaws to his strengths, and those who know him will do you one better: Rosen in some ways might be more like another Manning -- Peyton.
“I don’t view Eli on the same intelligence level as Rosen,” one NFL scout told the Daily News this week. “I once heard they used to tape episodes of Seinfeld for Eli, while Peyton used to ask for advanced film on teams or background of GMs in NFL. I think (Eli and Rosen) are about the same athlete. Rosen throws a prettier ball and has a better arm.”

Good stuff here too, Cosell rates Rosen higher than Goff:
“I don’t think in any business being smart and thoughtful is a bad thing,” Greg Cosell, senior producer at NFL Films, told the News Saturday after a detailed scouting evaluation. “I think Rosen is a better prospect than (2016 first overall pick) Jared Goff coming out … Stylistically, (Rosen and Manning) are similar in that they’re more pure pocket players. Rosen, his mechanics are probably a little more refined, cleaner overall than Eli’s were … But if you’re not gonna draft him because he’s smart, thoughtful and questioning, that’s silly.”
