I think anyone projected in the first round, and at least the top half of the second round, would be crazy to play in a bowl. It's not worth the risk of an injury or crappy performance with so much money guaranteed.

Hard to blame a guy for wanting to sit out the game after being in concussion protocol twice this season.

Me either. I mean he's a solid QB but nothing he's ever done says to me that he's a can't miss, top of the draft QB.

For those disappointed with his play, is this a bad move. I hope he gets drafted in the first round.

If Josh Rosen comes out he will not get out of the Top 3 Overall...the NFL has shown with Leonard Fournette and McCaffery they don’t care about Bowl Games...plus it is a QB Driven/Starved League....more from Rosen on players skipping Bowl Games...
Rosen compared his situation as a quarterback to that of running backs who have received criticism for deciding to skip their team's bowl games in previous years, such as Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette.
"For them it's not an issue of if they're getting hurt, it's an issue of how severe, because most of those guys get banged up to some extent every single game," Rosen said. "Quarterback is unique — we'll take a few licks here and there, but nothing like the beating those guys take."
Rosen went on to explain that he felt many didn't think about all the reasons players might have for making such a decision.
"A lot of people bash them, but some of them have to realize that some of these guys have families, some of these guys have kids. Some of these guys really have to support the people around them. Some of them maybe have been put in unfortunate circumstances where they can't afford to be in school for another year. They might want to...If they feel like they've locked in their future earnings to take care of their kids, or families, sisters, brothers, whatever, then I think people should really look into their story and see how football is affecting their life."

Maybe he's hoping it hurts his stock so he doesn't get drafted by the Browns.
