Where does Drake Lindsey rank among B1G QBs? | BMTS video


This is kinda like Where does JJ McCarthy rank among NFL QBs?

It's very difficult to know with a guy who has never thrown a Big Ten pass.

Appropriate ranking for him in the unknowns. It's an optimistic sign that the Gophers didn't try that hard to replace him with a transfer and that he solidly beat out an upperclassman who started some games in the ACC. But most of that happened with AK too.

Lindsey appeared in 3 games. He appeared but did not throw a pass vs Nevada. He threw 4 passes against Rhode Island and his bio says 1 attempt vs Virginia Tech in the bowl, so like I said he has never thrown a Big Ten pass. And no college passes in competitive game situations.

It's debating semantics, but Minnesota is in the B10, a fortiori, he has thrown a B10 pass.

But I'm not gonna get hung up on it, and can see from where you are coming.

Since the best indicator of future performance is past performance I can only assume this year he will have these numbers if he is given 25 pass attempts a game.

300 pass attempts, 240 completions, 60 TD, 0 INTs and 3,000 yds.

I feel confident in these numbers - however, I am sure an interception is a possibility, but obviously he hasn't shown in college he can throw those.

Bring on the Natty and Heisman.

All we can do this time of year is dream and speculate. I have high hopes but realize even Brosmer had to adjust to the B1G level of play. I think Lindsay will have a great year, but there will be growing pains. I just hope he shows promise as the year goes on.

These numbers are a little low as I'm seeing 17 games on the schedule next year.
 

If he can complete 60% for 2000 yards and 15 tds without being a turnover machine that would be pretty good
