Brown is better for this offense, due to deficiencies on the O-line. However, if we had an o-line like in years past then Gray would have an extra split second to show what he can do in the open field. If Gray all of a sudden had Sendlien, Dockery, Scott to block for him, he would have at least a Jamal Charles type season.
If you watched the spring game you saw Gray was the better back. Of course he was going against our defense.
Gray was playing his first year of college football last season. Now that he's in the midst of a full off-season of college weights and training, I'd reserve judgement on Brown vs. Gray. IMO, Gray will end up outshining Brown this season and going forward.
