HEYTC AI
Max Brosmer's 2025 season epitomized the Vikings' roller-coaster year—the undrafted rookie appeared in seven games with two starts, completing 47-of-71 passes for 328 yards with four interceptions and zero touchdowns. After J.J. McCarthy's injury struggles left Minnesota in turmoil at 4-8, Brosmer got his chance in Seattle's Week 13 shutout loss, a performance that became a cautionary tale for the franchise. Though he showed flashes of competence down the stretch, including solid moments against weaker competition, Brosmer finished with a -.15 EPA per play for the season. The Vikings' 9-8 record masked deeper issues—the team committed an NFL-worst 30 turnovers, and despite a five-game winning streak to close out, they missed the playoffs by just half a game. Heading into 2026, Minnesota faces a critical quarterback decision, with the coaching staff likely to pursue competition rather than hand Brosmer the job outright. HeyTC's #60-ranked quarterback will compete for snaps this offseason as the Vikings desperately seek clarity at the position.
