I've been on record as being shocked at the lack of downfield accuracy Browning displayed during the year because when I saw him live he was very accurate. I truly think it was a strength issue more than anything and not that he doesn't have it. It's harder to find the proper touch necessary for the deep ball if the arm isn't quite there.
Add the fact that his WR weren't really giving him much room for error and inexplicably never fought for the 50/50 balls that led to picks and you can see why he was erring on the side of caution and letting them fly far.
I expect with increased strength and the addition of a true deep threat in Ross, that weakness in Browning's game will be improved greatly year 2.
As far as Rosen, his talent is incredible but he strikes me as kind of a cunt. Without having any insider access to the UCLA locker room, I purely speculate that Rosen isn't as liked by his peers as Browning is. Browning acts more like a winner/leader and if I had to choose one kid to build the program around I would choose Browning.
I fully expect Rosen to be drafted high first round, but i'll be shocked if he ever develops into a winner. Reminds me of Kush lash from Jerry Maguire.
