Brosmer in Vikings Game

[Gophers1992]

Patrick Mahomes played 2 full seasons in college at Texas Tech. In his last season his team's defense gave up an average of 43.5 points per game, and that included 3 cupcakes.

Josh Allen played 2 seasons at Wyoming. His last season they went 8-3 in games he played with losses to Oregon, at Iowa, and at Boise St.

All accurate, I guess my point is there are tons of borderline NFL QBs, which Brosmer is at this point, that lost plenty of games in college. It really doesn’t mean a lot.

So, sorry not to derail the thread too much, but .....

if Brosmer is this high level of a talent -- and good on whichever of the Gopher coaching staff found him and/or green lit him coming here -- ..... then how did we lose at home to North Carolina, a team we had no business losing to, and get blown out at home in the 2nd half vs Iowa?

After that (first half of Michigan was bad too, but after that the light switch flipped) was much better.


What happened?? We had a NFL QB on our roster, but still struggled those two games? Why?

Even if we win just the UNC game, that might have been enough to have a significantly higher rated bowl last year, wouldn't it?

First game on a new team. And the team lost by two points. There were two missed field goals. And Brosmer improved as the year went on and the team meshed.

Anyways......where is this "high level" talent narrative coming from? He's an accurate quarterback that generally makes good decisions. But we're talking about a guy who went undrafted and may make the team as the third string quarterback. Nobody is seriously talking about him developing into a starting NFL quarterback at this point.....so it's weird to be poking holes due to a few tough games.

It’s time to move on from JJ.

He just had a few jitters totally expected. I think it’s been said on here many times if we played them game five or eight or 10 we beat them by multiple scores.

The o-line was bad all year and even worse early in the season.

Yeah judging a QB by wins vs losses alone is like judging a pitcher by their wins vs losses alone ... not many people do that, for good reason.

Teams win and lose games.

Everyone has to stop buying into the media's spin that QBs are responsible for the outcome of games or the Super Bowl titles are necessary and required to be great. Ultra dumb.

NC game was not Max's fault. We could not make a tackle and missed two field goals. Plus no DT in the game.

Plus you could tell it was a limited playbook. Typical vanilla game plan from Fleck and Co.

Brosmer seems to have promise as a legitimate back-up in the NFL. Let him play 3 quarters next week!
