    Marqueis Gray ... Interesting Player

    This guy has a unique set of skills. He was a QB and WR/RB at Minnesota.

    Had some success as a WR as a sophomore but had most of his impact as an option QB as a junior and senior.

    This kid can run by people or over them, has natural hands and can even throw.

    Would like to see him get regular time on offence as he can be a mismatch.

      It didn't register for me for a while just who this guy was when I saw him on the field. Surprised to see him out there so soon, but he made some plays, particularly that long catch.

        Funny thing is, he was a 4 star recruit at QB out of high school, Bellow E.J. Manuel and above Robert Griffin.

          Really?

          There's something really enlightening. Not that that is completely obvious or anything.

            As a Big 10 watcher, I remember him starting at QB for Minnesota.

            He is very fast and should get more looks immediately over Chandler, who struggles with seperation in most games.

              Curious why he didn't do more last year in Cleveland or in Minnesota this year.

                I'm getting real tired of seeing Chandler taken to the turf after a catch like he's Roscoe Parrish FCOL

                  Could be that he did well because no one game planned for him, but why not hope we got lucky and found someone who can end up contributing on a regular basis?

                      He had two big gains. The only thing I didn't like is it looked like he ducked out of bounds when there were a few more yards to be had, but that's something that can be taught. He might have just been out of breath.

                        He was transitioning from being a predominant QB/WR at Minnesota. He had to bulk up some and learn blocking tech.

                        Many Browns fans were quite upset when he got released. They think he's a higher upside Delanie Walker type.

                          No, it must have been a fluke game by Gray.

                          We have been told by the "experts" on this board that Whaley & the Bills scouting dept SUCK.

                          There is no way they could have added a talented player to the team is there?

                            He certainly succeeded at that.

                            Someone needs to tell him that he can crush tiny Defensive Backs when they're the only thing standing between him and six points.

                            I still can't believe he ran out of bounds at the end of that great run yesterday. He at least needs to get some stiff arm tips from Fred.

                              you need at least one tight end who is a responsible blocker and can catch a ball or two
