No, no, and no.
If he was drafted right now, he'd easily be at LEAST two years of riding the bench before he's ready. And that's hoping he'd put in the work to get things straightened out. His mechanics are putrid and he can't read defenses worth a lick. Superb athlete with superb size, but I think Michael Vick was a far superior QB at the same stage.

I'd take Vince Young ... as a WR. His passing game is HORRIBLE. Go ahead and point out his final stats, but most of those yards were Yac and after he threw to WIDE OPEN WRs. He's the most talented player in the nation, but he's not a good passer. Blame the Texas coaches for not working on his mechanics and throwing motion. To be in the NFL he'll have to go to a team willing to be patient with him while they teach him to throw a football properly.

What Young has that Vick doesn't is true QB size to absorb more licks and to see over the line. If those OSU LBs had ben hitting Vick like that his ribs woulda fell off.Yakuza Rich said:
I do think Young would need lots of work but the guy has as much talent and potential as anyone in the country including Lienart. He's just not a sure thing like Matt is.

Where are the coaches when these players are kids? Why can't they teach the proper technique to throw a football?
And let's not put the cart before the horse here.......I seriously doubt Young leaves. Mac Brown keeps his players at Texas. I think Young stays.

I am still wondering what people see in this guy. It is ludicrous to think that his passing ability comes anywhere near to success in the NFL. Should he be a first round pick, maybe, but definitely not at QB. If you guys think that Quincy had accuracy problems, then the cowboys would jump to the next level by bringing in Young. Someone mentioned that he has the physical stature of a qb more than Vick, but Young doesn't have near the arm accuracy or ability to read a defense (which is sad because those are two of Vick's weaknesses) (and frankly doesn't run as well either- not when everyone else is bigger and faster). I am so tired of the hype that surrounds QB's from Texas. Comparing Simms, who has done nothing with Tampa, and VYoung, there isn't even a question of who was more of an NFL ready qb, and look at what has happened with Simms. If you look at his stat sheet, you might be impressed, but my gosh his passes never come close to threading the needle, he survives on a far superior receiving corps (although I think leinart is in the same boat) to get wide open so he can lob one up and hope.

I was not a fan of Vince Young until tonight. He is a stud!
