All Big 10 QB
- Thread starter ovy

Conner Cook.
But Beathard is the MVP in the same way Kirk Gibson was the NL MVP for the Dodgers in 1988. Doesn't put up the best numbers by any means, but makes the critical plays and leads his team in a way that no one else does.

Beathard won't get it, but I wouldn't trade him for anyone else. I think if he hadn't got injured he would have put up much bigger numbers.
I would vote CJ probably 2nd team all BIG behind Cook. But do you think he will be 3rd team or even honorable mention because of Hackenberg and one of "THE" Ohio State QB's? I would take CJ over Hack any day, and tOSU's Jones has been mediocre, and to me Barrett hasn't, or won't have played enough to deserve better then CJ. I could see CJ sliding to Honorable mention though which would be a travesty. CJ is much more valuable to Iowa then either Cardale or JT are to tOSU, because they so much talent overall that they win with either. My vote would be Cook, CJ, Hack and then who cares about which Buckeye QB. 
Of course, if I actually had a vote, it would be CJ 1st team, Cook 2nd team.

Would have to agree that Cook will take this one. Sudfeld is a close second I believe, but as a poster already said, I would not trade Beathard for any. You can't coach heart.

"CJ is much more valuable to Iowa then either Cardale or JT are to tOSU, because they so much talent overall that they win with either."
Can't argue with that except all I know is that the OSU offense absolutely rock and rolls with the read/option and Barrett. No one has been able to stop it when he's in there. Should be an interesting last few weeks of the season. Right now I couldn't/wouldn't want to predict the BIG player of the year.

CJ Beathard, even playing on one leg, is the best QB in the Big Ten and one of the best in the nation. Use your eyes, not your accountant, and it's pretty clear. Where's the stat for leadership? What about the one for guts? How about the one for football IQ? Or, if you must have numbers, how about this one: 10-0 as a starter, 1-0 as a reliever, QB of a top ten, undefeated team headed to the Big Ten championship game.
I wouldn't trade Beathard for any other QB in the country, and I've seen quite a few. You can take anybody else you want. Just give me CJ.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but either way I completely agree with this assessment.
And I don't ever see CJ making the pass Cook made to end that game yesterday. He didn't have a lot of options anyway but he screwed up bad.
