For sure. But felt like he could have located the ball to the outside more a few times.
Probably. I'm in too good of a mood to dwell on it.

I’m definitely nitpickingProbably. I'm in too good of a mood to dwell on it.
My first reaction to your post was, damn, you’re old. Then I realized 1/2 a century is 50 and I’m 51!Best QB of my lifetime for the Gophers! I’m half a century old
He makes great decisions and has the arm strength to make those short to intermediate throws but definitely lacks the arm for those deep balls on a consistent basis.I'm not sure the deep ball for Brosmer has ever looked very good, consistently.
Maybe the game plan wasn't the issue and Max just wasn't acclimated to the offense or the receivers.I can’t help but wonder what the heck was wrong with our game plan against UNC that Max looked so bad in that game. Clearly it is an outlier.
Don’t worry about it man. We are all allowed to change opinions when presented with new information.Lol, good one. I’ve admitted more than once he’s been very good the last few weeks.
I'm about the same age and would agree. And I am about as big of a Tanner Morgan fan as there is on this board.Best QB of my lifetime for the Gophers! I’m half a century old

Sometimes I feel like the threat of a deep throw is almost as important. If that makes sense.I wonder if there's some way to track completion percentages on deep throws, in comparing different college QBs.
My gut tells me that very few college QBs complete a high percentage of deep throws, but I have no data to back up that feeling.
I also sometimes feel like we fans have a tendency to overstate the real importance of deep throws.

He looks like a professional running the team.Max is the first Mn QB i have seen make great changes at the line and work thru progressions not just stare down where he wants to throw. He had happy feet first few games, OL didn't do him any favors. OL seems to have gotten it together and Max looks comfortable in pocket!
I never said its all that matters, said it feels almost as important. But whatever. He is a capable QB.If all that's necessary is the threat of the deep ball, then I'd make the argument that Brosmer can supply that threat. Is Max a great deep thrower? Probably not. Is he capable of connecting on a deep throw? Absolutely.
If there's a fair chance he can complete one deep, then the threat of the deep ball is there.
The obsession continues.Brosmer is no Leidner.
IMO - "great deep throwers" are pretty rare. Been following the Gophers since the 1960's and I am hard-pressed to recall any QB who could be described as such. Weber might come the closest.
Thanks for that depressing thought. Haven't reached 50 but it is right around the corner.My first reaction to your post was, damn, you’re old. Then I realized 1/2 a century is 50 and I’m 51!
"Big Arm" QBs are pretty rare. Accuracy and decision making are way more important than the ability to hit the home run throw.IMO - "great deep throwers" are pretty rare, especially in college. Been following the Gophers since the 1960's and I am hard-pressed to recall any QB who could be described as such. Weber or Hohensee might come the closest.
I think our guy throws the ball short medium and fairly long just fine. Cupito and Sauter both through pretty nice long balls, but they had deep threat receivers too.IMO - "great deep throwers" are pretty rare, especially in college.
