Per Randy:

A legacy that could last​

Brosmer’s one-year legacy with the Gophers will include a 7-5 regular-season record and a 5-4 Big Ten mark. His lasting legacy could show up in how well Lindsey, the strong-armed, 6-5, 230-pound Fayetteville, Ark., native, performs if he earns the starting job for 2025. Lindsey has embraced the process.

“You can either waste a year, or you can utilize it,” Harbaugh said. “I know what [Lindsey’s] process has been. I know how hard he’s worked. I know how every single week he’s prepared as if he’s going out there for Play One, and that’s a challenge. … He’s just continued to get better every single rep. It’s not every single practice, it’s every single rep."

With his only career bowl game left to play, Brosmer allowed himself to think about those good memories he’s made in his brief Gophers career. He has several plays on his list of favorites but hasn’t ranked them yet.

“I’m still formulating what the ranking order of that is,” he said. “A lot of guys had some really good catches this year. It’s really good plays up front that allowed those plays to come to fruition. And the best plays are the ones that we did all together and everyone experienced together.”


Go Gophers!!
 

I think Brosmer's biggest impact on the program going forward is if he has positively impacted Lindsey. He's had a good season and would have like to have had him for his whole college career but years from now the hope is he's known for having provided vet experience and being a good example for Lindsey.

Seems like a good guy so I'm sure he's been a positive leader in the QB room as well. That will be his legacy, not the bowl game.

Best thing about the Brosmer/Lindsey dynamic this year was that there was no reason for Max not to help Drake prepare for the future. Max's spot as QB 1 was pretty secure as long as he played well.

If Harbaugh's comments are true then it sounds like Drake took advantage of the time this season behind Brosmer. That could go a long way towards making him ready to take the reigns next season.
 

Legacy QB who was part of the program for 12 months and is currently 7-5. Title of the column is dumb, but I agree that his impact on Fleck, Harbaugh, and Lindsey could be huge.

Agree that the headline isn't the greatest. But Brosmer has definitely left his mark on Gopher football and should be remembered fondly by fans for his one season under center.

Agreed. Talking about a legacy with a one year player is dumb. Should think of it more in terms of him have the most impact a player can in one year. If he can cap off a good season ( I believe he did very well coming into a new system/team ) with a bowl victory and leave things in a good spot for Lindsey to take over then that is all you can ask.
 


I think the biggest impact Brosmer had was opening Fleck's eye to modern offenses' use of the forward pass. It can be more than just slants to future NFL WRs....
This is the Brosmer "legacy" for me. Brosmer helped PJ accept 21st Century offensive strategy (and just in time, as the B1G is really changing). Showed him that you can (and should) use the whole field, and use all your playmakers. You have to take a bit more risk, sure, but the rewards can be very good.

Good point there. Of course you have to have the QB that can do more than throw slants which may have been part of the issue in the past.
