Ok, im just throwing it out there, I know some people wont like it. But its a good debate.
How long until MarQuies Gray takes over as the starter for Adam Weber? I have nothing bad to say about Weber, but I am one of the people who thinks that Gray is just a superior athlete, to good to keep off of the field. I say this with no real insight besides what I've seen of highlight tapes, Gray's HS all-star game and from what so-called experts have said about Gray and his (non game) progress so far. But I think he is the type of QB that could lead us to greener pastures and simply make plays that Weber cannot.
Obviously, Weber is the starter going into the year, but my prediction is Gray will be seeing spot duty until the Wisc, or Purdue game, and at that point he will take over and get more snaps than Weber will for the rest of the year. I dont think Weber will be benched completely but I think Gray will emerge THIS year.
I could be way off base with this and that would be fine. I would love for Weber to have an awesome season, but I am excited to have a premier athletic QB in MarQuies that we havent seen for the Gophers in a long time, if ever.
