“I’ll Take Things Kyle Sloter Would Say for $500”

[PurplePorsche]

I don't think it has to do with Kwesi or KOC scheming to keep Brosmer from creating a QB controversy with JJM. Like someone on here said, if our QB of the future ends up being Brosmer over JJM, that's still a win because the goal is to find that franchise QB whether by draft, free agency or trade. I do find fault with KOC for not giving Brosmer real air time last night, though. Wentz was a statute, he was clearly not able or willing to scramble, was hurting, his body language was bad and, oh, he also mostly sucked. You didn't have JJM available to you, so put in Brosmer and see what happens. My guess is KOC worries about "ruining" a rookie QB because he has not created the perfect opportunity for Brosmer to succeed. But the dude is on the roster, he's your backup QB and your starter is hurt and ineffective. You are not being fair to Wentz or the team by plodding him out there to absorb more hits, sack himself and throw errant passes.

Well said PurplePorsche!  I wanted to see Brosmer play out of compassion for Wentz.  He was obviously hurt, not playing well, and incapable of leading a comeback.  In that situation, KOC needed to put in the backup earlier, rather than waiting for the last few minutes of the game.  

The team is heavily invested in JJM and believes JJM is the future.  Brosmer will never play as long as JJM can go.  As a Gopher fan, in the future, I'd love to see Brosmer get a chance to compete with a different team.  JMO.

Wentz is injured and I give him kuddos for being tough, as if he had a choice. But he sucks and had the same protetion JJ had early on ,none!
I wanted to see Brosmer put in at half time against the Eagles and hoped he might play last night, until I saw the O-line was as bad as I have ever seen. Then I hoped they wouldn't put him in because as good as he is, he wouldn't stand a chance.

This team was the ideal situation for any QB before the season started. They spent millions of dollars to ease JJ's path to being a franchise QB. And they completely suck! Happy Halloween JJ. You will likely be heading into a house of horrors when you go to Detroit.
As it stands right now, this team is one of the worst in the league. We will see if that changes.
