The Strib now projects Brosmer on to their assumed 53 man roster as the third QB

Brosmer has been a lock since he was signed with the Vikes. He just needed to prove he was who they thought he could be in the Viking's system.

There is no need for the Vikes to hang onto two journeyman QB's as backups. When you have the HC talking about how Brosmer has rare talents, how he has quickly picked up the very complex offense, how he has a very quick release, how he doesn't get the team in trouble, how he and JJ Mac are the first ones in the morning and the last to leave every night, how he and JJ Mac are constantly asking questions and have a good relationship together, etc....

I think overall it's a decent comparison. Keenum has made $55M in the NFL. I think Max would take that comparison.

They simply do not play alike at all, but if Brosmer was in the NFL as long I'm sure he'd be happy with it. Only similarities really are there were UDFA and don't have an Elway level arm? I mean there are a ton examples of those guys that have bounced around the NFL.

It would be surprising if they didn't hang onto Howell too. He has plenty of talent and is the same age as Brosmer, at least for a few more weeks.

I think the competition is between Rypien and Howell, they're not keeping two vet backups. Neither has been overly impressive so wouldn't be surprised no matter which they keep.

I think Rypien is gone and that's an easy decision. The only discussion is if they carry 3 QBs on the 53 man roster.

I think there's a chance both Howell and Rypien are gone and they bring someone else in. But if they're picking three of these four it's JJ, Howell, and Brosmer.

hard to believe Graham Mertz was drafted and brosmer wasn't

He did look better at Florida than Wisconsin, but that would be hard NOT to do.

Mertz is that guy that forever people seem to see promise and ... really there's not a lot to show that other than maybe one season and a lot of seasons NOT showing that. But people don't stop believing.

I don't know how those guys do it, wish I had a career like that.

"Well he was ass for a few years but let's promote him, I got a good feeling about this guy!"

I don't think the poster was saying they play alike. Posted Both undrafted, roughly the same height, neither with a rocket arm or dazzling speed. My take is that it is a good comparison in the sense that Brosmer has skills and knowledge that bode well for an extended career like Keenum has had.

I think Max is more athletic than Keenum and has a better arm but that's just going from memory and the glow of Max's recent performances.

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.

Re: Joe Namath had a 90% awful career, but he won a SB for a NY team and is in the HOF.
