Will be interesting how long the "KOC is the quarterback whisperer" story line lasts.

Seen that label on many folks in the NFL and college and it ALWAYS wears off eventually ...

Trestman comes to mind (though if you look at the stats of the QB's when he was either a QB coach or OC, many had career years).
 




Brosmer comes in as the 4th QB of the day. Howell looked better than reported. Rypien didn't look good. Brosmer looks good on the 4th drive. Frankly, JJ's throws weren't awesome to start the day.

JJ hardly threw passes in college and knew all the defense play calls and is coming off a knee injury. I am not sure he's the answer this year.
 

Brosmer made good reads and threw the ball very well. The fumble was ugly but he looked like he belonged as a passer. On track to at least make the practice squad.

This is the best NFL performance we've ever seen from a Gopher QB.

I'm also pleased that Max's fine performance was coupled with Mertz's bad one on the other side. Max wasn't drafted but Mertz was. Go figure.

My only disappointment is that I didn't get to see Daniel Jackson play for Houston.

He’s 100% healthy. He made big time throws at Michigan, you can’t win the national title without em. They blew teams out so he hardly threw in the second half of most games.

I hope he does well because I'm a Vikings fan but wasn't a fan of the draft pick. I'm still skeptical.
 

Great audition this evening. It should increase his stocks 🤞

KOC took a journeyman rocket scientist and in 4 hours coached him up and won an NFL game with him. More than one. I'm pretty sure I trust his opinion of a QB he is partly risking his coach of the year status on in JJ. And the peripherals of JJ at Michigan throwing were outstanding, not sure what you're talking about. Completed 72% passes. He was hands down the best quarterback in all of college football on third and fourth down. Easily. Yards per attempt, 3rd and 4th down conversion, QB rating and on and on. Nevermind his mental makeup, leadership skills and accountability, all off the charts. I would argue whoever makes the Michigan hardly throws argument has literally never watched him play a snap, and is parroting someone else's shit take. My two cents.

OK PA. Dobbs played better with less time to prepare. He actually got worse the longer he was with the Vikings. Darnolds season last year was amazing though. Just saying I probably wouldn't use Dobbs as my measuring stick of KOC's greatness. That would definitely be a shit take. Darnold would have been a much better example.

Do you think Max Brosmer's (or any other QB's) completion percentage would have been higher if he knew which play the other team was running?

BTW I really like KOC. My pumping up Max is mostly tongue in cheek but maybe you're not picking up on that. Still skeptical McCarthy is the long term answer. Would be glad to be wrong though.

Would you take Dobbs or Brosmer?
 




I’ll eat my shoe if JJ turns into a top 10-15 NFL QB….someday. The guy had every advantage imaginable in college including (allegedly) knowing the defensive calls. Are Vikes fans taking crazy pills? He’s a reach.

Pulling for Brosmer. Phsucally hes not all that but loved his release, quick decisions, maturity.
 



I am always down for a bet @GopherWeatherGuy. If both things happen: JJ finishes the season and the Vikings make the playoffs - I will leave for 6 months and vice versa. Are we on? Let’s make it interesting. I am hearing this is supposed to be a pretty good squad this year. Seems like high expectations for the boys in purple in 2025-26. They just need a QB.

The Vikings will be good this year and JJ will be just fine. Brosmer will be the 3rd string QB. That is all.
