If he goes pro, he should be drafted ahead of Leinhart.

I would have sex with Vince Young.

maybe it's just me, but he didn't seem like he has much of an arm?

looked like he made good decisions when throwing, and was pretty accurate, but I dunno

he just didn't seem like he'd be able to chuck the ball too well in the pros

seemed to have like Chad Pennington arm strength

There's no way he'll be able to run anywhere near like he did in that game when he gets to the NFL.

I'm not sure how his skills will translate to the Pros, but he's amazing in college.

He did a great job of reading Pete Carrolls D all day, and has the size to play in the NFL. Obviously he won't be able to run like he did, but his mobility is definitely a plus. I can see him getting a shot in the NFL. Not ahead of Leinart, though, since he's more polished and suited for the NFL game.

Young will do fine if he is expected to do what he does best: (1) create opportunities by using his mobility and (2) stick to a passing game around 20 yards or less with the occasional bomb

he can pick apart D's and he is very good at that

Aaron Brooks

Michael Vicks

Kramer · Post by **Kramer** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 1:01 pm

I don't think he is Michael Vick, he definitely has the cutting ability, though the overall breakaway speed of Vick is still a little better, I think they pass about the same, I think if Young works on his passing next year at Texas and improves even more, he will be pretty unstoppable in the NFL

Minrott · Post by **Minrott** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 1:27 pm

Young is a better passer than Vick, even now. He'll do OK in the NFL if the coach he plays for does what the Texas coach said they had to do, let him be himself.

Young is 6'5'' 230lbs compared to Brooks and Vick who are 6' and around 210lbs. He can take a licking or two. His arm strength may not but the best, but neither is Matt Leinharts. Both of them are very accurate to say the least.

Young will have trouble in the NFL due to the fact that in the NFL you do not run from the gun every single snap.

Susvain · Post by **Susvain** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 3:57 pm

Is it me, or his stance look terrible? Looks like he winds up hardly any and barely puts any strength into it, like he's slapping downwards.

Tadpole · Post by **Tadpole** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 3:59 pm

He has sloppy mechanics and footwork.

Tacks · Post by **Tacks** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:12 pm

Aaron Brooks is 6' 4" 220.

I was thinking Randell Cuttingham. Vince should do well in the NFL. Leinhart will probably have a longer, more productive career, but Vince will have a huge impact on a team almost immediately. He could go as high as 3 if Tennessee wants a QB to replace McNair that isn't Billy Volek. I figure the Saints will draft Leinhart. Of course we are only making wild guesses until after the Senior Bowl, the Combine, and some private workouts.

Young is not a senior so he has to declare if he wants to be in the draft.

ugh leinart on the saints

if NOLA gets vince young, they're my new favorite team

Some of you people are drunk or stupid. Young had the highest passer rating in the nation. The NATION. This includes old Matt Leinhart. Not only did he have the highest passer rating, he did it with a inferior supporting cast.

You don't even have to bring his legs into the equation. Young is a better pure quarterback than Leinhart.

You want to talk about intangibles? How about two touchdown drives in under 7 minutes. How about one touchdown drive with 2:09 left, in the biggest game of his life. The man has got "it". I'd take him over Leinhart if I was a pro-team, because he has the stuff that Montana and Brady are made of. 467 yards total offense in the most hyped up national championship of all-time? 75% completion percentage?

How about we look at the last two rose bowls. 839 total yards. 8 touchdowns. 70% completion percentage.

Give the man some credit.

Were gonna need all the support we can get to keep us in New Orleans. League smacked Benson upside his head for next year, but who knows a couple years from now what might go down.

Id love to have Young, Im not gonna cry if its Leinert though. But Young. Some of the best football I ever watched was Brook's first year as a starter, runner/passer/sack avoider, some incredible plays. Would love to see that stuff again.

It's Randall Cunningham, but you're close enough. I agree, this is exactly who Young reminds me of. I think Young is an improvement over Randall, though, but I do remember R.C. making some seriously mind-blowing plays back in the day.

-Out

:vonk:

you're kidding me right?

the only thing they have in common is that they're black QB's who can run

Randall had a CANNON of an arm, but was really inconsistent in his defensive reads

Young seems to have a limp wing of an arm, but makes up for it with good decision making in where he puts the ball

I think young will get eaten alive in the NFL because of his lack of arm strength

Minrott · Post by **Minrott** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 9:05 pm

I don't know where the whole 'lack of arm strength' came from. He has uncommon form, that doesn't mean it's weak.

I haven't seen a lot of his games, so is there actually proof that he can't zip it or throw it long?

Kramer · Post by **Kramer** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 9:38 pm

That is why I think he should stay in for his senior season and work specifically on his mechanics.... VY throws from his side, and pretty sure you can't throw that low in the NFL..... that is also why he should stay within a 20 yard range.....

along with the simple fact that passer rating in NCAA has absolutely NOTHING to do with passer rating in the NFL..... Anyone seen Ol' GIne Torretta these days???????
