37 times, actually... Minnesota is 37-25-2 vs Nebraska in football. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota%E2%80%93Nebraska_football_rivalry

Yes! Also, Max doesn't have The Measurables. I can't help but think that the NFL and the football establishment love The Measurables because it allows them to simply plug and play, without sticking their necks out. Just enter The Measurables, and let the system spit out a pass/fail grade. No...

Yeah. In the future, just let us know when you (and, by extension I guess, everyone) is/are becoming uncomfortable.

That's not a bad take, I guess. A word to the wise, though: arguments do happen on chat boards. Pretty frequently. If it makes you uncomfortable, maybe try a different thread. Or start one.

I'm sorry, but that's not your only option as I said. Still, your choice. What is it about this particular content that is distressing you?

Don't read it, then. You have that option. But thanks for speaking for most everybody.

Don't you want to know more about the improvement that gopherbadgerman saw in Brosmer's game? I do!

I think playing at Minnesota helped enormously in Brosmer's development. If nothing else, it gave him the opportunity to show what he could do against big time players, in big game situations, on a national stage. He never had that at New Hampshire. I also think that many, many people were...

Yes, Q. What, indeed?

This seems to be a pretty reasonable assessment. If it proves to be accurate, and the season follows suit exactly, the Gophers will be 6-3 in the B1G. If they do that, and win all 3 non-conference games (certainly possible) then we're talking about a 9-3 regular season. WINS: Nebraska Rutgers...

It's certainly plausible. I'm curious, though. Have you seen Brosmer practice, work out, and/or play much since February? If so, in what specific areas have you seen the most dramatic improvement?

Uh huh. Which word was it that you believe I don't understand?

He's gotten better since around February, then.

I used many of your own words.

I'm not assuming anything. You made the assertion that Max was not developed by Fleck. I didn't make that up out of thin air. Brosmer is very likely to be on an NFL roster Week One. If you believe Brosmer didn't develop at all in his time at Minnesota, then he must have already been NFL-ready...

Who are the football people (besides Spaulding, of course)? Now that it appears Brosmer might be on the final 53, have they changed their consensus?

Hmmm... would the following be an accurate summary? — He was good already. Just... not that good. — Well developed when he got here. But borderline. — Now he's good. But not great. Can't throw deep. But he seems to have improved since he left the Gophers. — He was already well developed at...

Hey, gopherbadgerman... a question for you: You stated that Brosmer was already good when he got here. Just how good was he? Was he, say, oh, I don't know... in the Top Third of the B1G when he got here?

Yes. He was primarily formed in that famous crucible of quarterbacking... the New Hampshire Wildcats! Fleck merely stumbled upon him. Sheer luck. gopherbadgerman was a big Brosmer fan from Day One. He, like caliGopher, saw the potential instantly... Did you really write "He was good when he...

I understand your point of view, and I respect your points. Where I differ — ever so slightly: I think O'Connell and the Vikings see Brosmer as more than that. More than just a guy who hangs around the NFL for a few years. Why do I feel that way? In truth, I can't tell you. It's just a gut...
