Mike Silver article in The Athletic on JJ McCarthy/Brosmer

[Montana Tom]

Brosmer hasn't had a chance to show what he could do in a regular season game, other than a little mop up duty. But the times he has been given snaps in preseason, he has been the best performing QB on the team. Quick reads, quick release, laser like accuracy; just saying! It's good to have him as JJ's backup.

This right here.

"Internally, there have even been some comparisons with 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, a 2022 seventh-rounder who made Lance expendable after stepping in and performing well late in his rookie season." - Michael Silver on Vikings rookie QB Max Brosmer

What an enormous stretch. So Brosmer, I guess because he looked good in the preseason, is Brock Purdy? OK! I'll take it! But in this little play-act scenario, if Brosmer is Purdy, that can only mean that McCarthy is...Lance? LOL. I think Silver's trying to hammer too many square pegs into round holes to fit his little scenario.
