Max Brosmer becomes a potential starting quarterback for the Vikings

• J. J. McCarthy in the protocol of concussion protocols
• Max Brosmer could become the starting quarterback
• The Vikings have a record of 4-7 this season

On Minnesota, November 25, 2025, it was reported that quarterback J. J. McCarthy is in the protocol for concussion protocols, which raises questions about his participation in upcoming matches. This opens up the possibility for Max Brosmer, a 24-year-old rookie, who has already demonstrated impressive results during training and preseason games.

Brosmer, who studied at the University of Minnesota, showed good preparation, particularly in three preseason matches, where he completed 35 of 58 passes for 364 yards, adding two touchdowns and one interception. The head coach of the Vikings, Kevin O'Connell, expressed confidence in his abilities, noting that Brosmer can quickly make decisions and adapt to the speed of play in the NFL.

The situation with McCarthy, who in his second season showed inconsistent results, pushes the team to consider alternatives. In this regard, statistics indicate his problems: 54.1% successful passes, 6 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in six starts. The Vikings currently have a record of 4-7, and if Brosmer gets the chance, it could be a crucial moment for the team in the playoff race.

According to experts, Brosmer not only has potential but can also play a role that does not rely on McCarthy. Regardless of whether McCarthy can return after the concussion, Brosmer is preparing for his debut in the starting position in the match against Seattle.
