QB Max Brosmer, MIN (7 Viewers)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Max Brosmer Draft and Combine Prospect Profile (NFL.com)

This sounds promising (from the link)

Weaknesses
Has touch but lacks consistent accuracy on deep throws.
Low release point causes throws to sail or get batted at the line.
Below-average placement forces receivers to break stride.
Rushes his process once the pocket alarm goes off.
Lacks arm talent and mobility to make plays off-schedule.
Play takes a noticeable downturn when he can’t work in rhythm.

Now go back and read everthing this same front office was saying about JJM.

Effusive praise seems to come easy. When Brosmer is sacked a dozen times with 4 turnovers, this topic’s tone will change pretty quickly.

I’m not buying what the Vikings are selling.

Ahem

It is unbelievable that he turned out to be actually worse than JJM.

Counterpoint: it’s totally believable. Weak arm, rookie quarterback against a top-notch Seattle defense. Not only was it believable, it was predictable.

The Max Brosmer love fest posts haven’t aged well. And it hasn’t even been a full game yet.

Remarkably, it got worse.

Yes, it was. No doubt. I saw menobrown's post about 1/3 of his playoff teams going up against Seattle and felt sick because if things went like I figured, they'd have no hook for the kid because who was backing him up?

didn’t realize I accurately called the number of turnovers until I quoted myself.

I did fall a few short of my dozen sacks prediction. Hard to get sacked when he’s throwing interceptions though. To be fair.

I face the SEA D in a little over a 1/3rd of my playoff games this week and I'm absolutely terrified.

Faced SEA defense in Main Event playoffs.

That was one of the 3 places I faced them as well.

The other two places were Big Gorilla playoffs. Both of my teams were top seedd, combined 21-3 record and most points in the regular season. 30th and 468th overall. The team that finished 30th also faced Meyers, so the guy got 52 from his TD and K. Never seen that before. Now it's season over and I got nothing to show for these teams, not a cent won, just a lottery ticket in a contest it's hard to cash. Tough to take man.

I was just reading through at everybody's behest and was going to quote your prediction that turned exact (did he fumble? You said "turnovers." I kid.) but you've already patted yourself on the back; no need for me to do it also.

Ugh. I can't commiserate with you on that level, but I felt pretty bad reading your post today. I'm not Nostradamus, but I didn't think it would be quite so bad until I reminded myself there was really no back up to the back up.

Sorry about the end of your curation. I don't know how many teams you had and still might have, but it still must feel lousy regardless. Peace and I wish you better luck as this goes on.

Awe man, sorry to hear.

Ernest Jones scored nearly that (47.5) in my 16 team IDP league, clenching a playoff berth.

But I thought of your post watching that game - I knew it would be bad for you, but didn’t expect quite this level of butt whoopery. Condolences.

That said, isn’t it really about the friends you made along the way? (I kid because I know how bad it sucks - I got officially eliminated in my home league today, with the best team I’ve had in years. I also dropped from 1st to 2nd in my NFFC BB. Gah.)

Nate Peterman. Yes. That’s one of the people he reminded me of today.
