‘My guy plays with some anticipation’: Here’s why Max Brosmer could thrive for the Vikings

As rookie quarterback Max Brosmer prepares to potentially make the first start of his career it s hard not to think about how calm he looked for the Vikings in the exhibition finale against the Tennessee Titans Though a few might try to downplay Brosmer s success in that challenge because it came at the tail end of the exhibition slate it s crucial to remember that the Vikings were playing exclusively backups while the Titans were playing majority of their starters That performance from Brosmer helped solidify his roster spot as he completed of pass attempts for yards and a touchdown It also might be the biggest reason particular believe he could thrive if called into action when the Vikings play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field Maybe the best breakdown of Brosmer s skill set to date came over the summer when former NFL quarterback J T O Sullivan provided a -minute film analysis of the match between the Vikings and the Titans In a video posted on his popular YouTube channel The QB School O Sullivan showcased Brosmer s ability to process which has been talked about at length since he signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent My guy plays with a few anticipation O Sullivan reported This is excellent quarterbacking A perfect example of that anticipation came on the first drive of the challenge as Brosmer discovered Lucky Jackson for a -yard completion As he rewound the tape a meager times O Sullivan lauded how Brosmer distributed he ball before Jackson was out of his break despite promptly having somebody in his face This is not a lifetime connection between these dudes O Sullivan stated They allegedly barely know each other After giving certain constructive criticism on a play where Brosmer opted to check down rather than allowing a course concept to develop down field O Sullivan arrived to arguably the best throw of the contest You can t throw a hole shot much better than Brosmer did when he connected with Dontae Fleming up the left sideline for a -yard completion He exemplified incredible arm talent as he ball traveled through the air with impeccable touch This is how to make a organization O Sullivan exclaimed Welcome to the NFL Max Brosmer As he continued to buzz through the tape O Sullivan reached the touchdown pass that Brosmer threw to tight end Bryson Nesbit It was an accurate ball from Brosmer that hit Nesbit on time and allowed him to keep running without emerging stride There was notably no hesitation from Brosmer at the top of his drop He goes through his progression locks in on his intended target and lets it rip with confidence This is a great job O Sullivan stated He shows elite decisiveness After showing a minimal more highlights from Brosmer including his subtle pocket movement under pressure O Sullivan commended the maturity with which he plays the position We ve seen so multiple examples of him being able to be decisive O Sullivan commented The ball comes out fast He hits the back foot and he knows where it s going He s not holding on to the ball The stat line from Brosmer could ve looked even better had Fleming been able to haul in a beautifully placed ball deep down the field It was an absolute dime by Brosmer that should ve been caught by Fleming This is in the bucket O Sullivan announced You ve got to catch that ball It s clear by the end of the -minute film analysis how impressed O Sullivan is by Brosmer It s safe to assume head coach Kevin O Connell offensive coordinator Wes Phillips and quarterbacks coach Josh McCown among others feeling the exact same way about him There s a lot to learn O Sullivan stated There s also a lot to really like The next opportunity for Brosmer to show improvement could come sooner rather than later Max Brosmer of the Minnesota Vikings passes the ball during the fourth quarter of the NFL Preseason meeting against the New England Patriots at U S Bank Stadium on Aug in Minneapolis Minnesota Photo by Stephen Maturen Getty Images Related Articles A kid we ll never forget East Ridge alum Ty Okada never quit on NFL dream The Loop Fantasy Football Record Week Matchups key to playoff success Vikings have to stay out of our own way on special teams Mizutani Sam Darnold s stardom was never meant for the Vikings J J McCarthy is in concussion protocol What does that mean for the Vikings
