Gray #8 on BTN's list of BT Off POY Candidates for 2012

[BleedGopher]

8. MarQueis Gray, Minnesota, QB, Sr. – While Gray only completed at least 50 percent of his passes three times in Big Ten play, he had several promising moments and can torch opponents with his legs.

Go Gophers!!

If the gophers win 8+ he'll get strong consideration. I'd put that at doubtful but you never know...

Yet the EmpireStatePimpingNetwork has our QBs as only 10th best in the B1G. Go figure.

One is a postseason list one is a preseason list.

Notice russel Wilson ahead of him in the postseason qb list but not appearing on the preseason next year list (cause he wont play).


I think you could argue gray should have been 7th on the postseason list but purdue ohio state and Illinois made bowls so their qbs got the benefit of the doubt.

Then consider wilson, cousins, and persa aren't coming back and he's 4th on my list next year from the qb position.
Then consider the fact that though Martinez wins games, he is awful. And gray is third.

Then add some non-qbs in front of him on the list and Cain colter....and 8th is about right.
