Gophers' Max Brosmer grades as one of the 8 best passing quarterbacks in the country

I don’t think so. He could’ve benefitted by moving down to a lower level of football to get his accuracy and confidence back.

Maybe should’ve gone MaC and then transferred back up if he had success. Hard to develop when the game is too fast for you

Yeah, he looks like a maybe just slightly better version of the QB he was last year. I can understand why he wanted to reunite with KC and maybe it ends up working out long term but he probably would have been better served dropping down in competition some like you said.

Lol good one. I’ve admitted he’s played a lot better. He’s ranked by most metrics in the top 1/2 to top 1/3 of the big ten.

Per Joe:

From a grading perspective, Pro Football Focus views Brosmer as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. While his overall offensive grade ranks 16th nationally among quarterbacks that have taken at least 20% of the snaps, his passing grade ranks tied eighth in the country with Vanderbilt darling Diego Pavia at 86.5.

The only quarterbacks ranked higher than Brosmer in passing grade are Ole Miss's Jaxon Dart (92.6), Indiana's Kurtis Rourke (92.3), Colorado's Shedeur Sanders (90.6), Miami's Cam Ward (90.4), Louisiana-Lafayette's Ben Woolridge (89.7), Louisville's Tyler Shough (88.3) and Mississippi State's Blake Shapen (86.8).

Brosmer, coincidentally, will face Rutgers on Saturday and it will be a revenge game for the Gophers and former Minnesota quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, who is completing 53.9% of his passes for 1,650 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions in his first season with the Scarlet Knights.

Brosmer has a chance to become only the second QB in Gophers history with a 3,000-yard season.

I thought KC picking him up made a lot of sense... but I also assumed Rutgers was going to pick up say multiple guys, and maybe a more likely #1 and AK would just be "in the mix" working on things.

Not that AK would BE #1. That I was surprised by.

Possible that they took some swings and missed on other guys. But yeah, after the year he had for us I was surprised them seemingly putting all their eggs in one basket with him as the starter as well.
