Vince Young

[The30YardSlant]

Any analysis of Vince Young that doesn't include a discussion of intangibles is worthless, uninformed commentary.

Mike Vick was pretty clutch in college as well

Yeah, I wear longhorn T-shirts to my classes at UT. I'm a bandwagon student of THE University of Texas.

Speaking of T-shirts, I saw a guy wearing one at Post Oak Mall here in College Station that had a picture of the aggie dog with it's legs cut off and it sad "Saw em off". I almost dropped my ice cream dots I was laughing so hard.

 

[rantanamo]

LMAO at this Aggy. You'd rather be an Aggie than the National Champs? You'd rather have pretty stats than win ball games? Vince is a rookie, that many of us have watched since high school. He continues to do what he does year in, year out at every level. Everyone continues to say what he can't do and he just gets better and better. Are you mad because he continues to have success at every level?

 

[The30YardSlant]

Even if Young never becomes a stellar passer, he has just enough passing ability even now to will his team to victory.

And when teams actually gameplan around his running ability, he is worthless.

Combine what throwing ability he has with his running and leadership, and you have a winner. Haven't they won like 6 of their last 8, or 7 of their last 9?

You act like he is all Tennessee has. They have more young talent than maybe anyone in football and a coach who is hated on for no reason.

I'm just glad we faced him when we did.

No, you're glad we gameplanned around his running ability, rendering him all but worthless. Amazing how that works.

He's their Romo right now. Their coach was on the verge of getting canned, they were perceived as the league's worst team (or one of the bottom three) when he took over; suddenly, their whole outlook has changed.

Please don't make me compare Young to Romo, for your sake

I'll agree Young is not yet a complete player.

THAT'S take a real leap of faith

But he's already a much better passer than I anticipated him being as a rookie.

What did you anticipate? A 40% completion rate?

Frankly, Young looks better as a thrower than does Cutler so far, IMO.

That's not saying much

This thread is like a train wreck that you can see coming from a mile away. From the moment I started this thread, I knew where it was going (provided that HH was online) and to see it get there in all of its glory is a beautiful thing.

 

[jimmy40]

And threads like this continue why the national perception of UT is that of a bunch of liberal queers. You couldnt possibly be riding VY's nuts any harder.

About 1/1,000,000th as hard as you were riding McNeals after that all star game. What was that game again? The one that proved McNeal was a can't miss star NFL qb?

 

[SALADIN]

How McNeal doing? Whens his trial date set for?

I'd rather be an upstanding "aggy" at their worst than a fairweather Longhorn at their best, yes.

What can I say, it's fun.

All this thread has done is prove my point. I've got stats and tangible evidence, they've got deragatory comments about A&M. Perhaps when they realize that calling me a sheep humper and an overall inferior being doesnt phase me in the least, this thread will end , because they have nothing else.

 

[The30YardSlant]

What exactly do I need?

Something more than biased opinions and A&M jokes

I have only actually watched one game in these games that he has won - the Colts game.

He is playing well - better than I thought. But this thread is about 2 years premature. We can crown him later if he continues to improve.

But right now - he is only showing flashes. He still has some holes, accuracy issues, etc. He also has not beat any really good defenses that know how to keep disciplined in their rushing lanes.

I never said he'd be a bust, but I maintain that he has a ways to go. I am not going to crown him because UT fans desperatly need a legitimate star in the NFL.

 

[rantanamo]

Excuse, I'm a Texas-Ex aka, Longhorn fan for life. A school that can actually fill its stadium on a regular basis.

Funny that you mention Tennessee having more young talent than anyone. Is that a joke? LOL. This is a team that was considered no talent and going nowhere. You simply don't understand the psychological effect that Vince has on a team. Its likely you'll ignore that even veterans were praising his leadership and command early on. They keep winning. I mean what else can you say. He's just a rookie and will get better. His own history says so. Please end the Merril Hoge act.

[Crown Royal]

Why are you laughing?

He's already surpassed Dat Nguyen and will soon overtake the great Aaron Glenn.

 

[rantanamo]

I don't think anyone is crowning him anything. I think most are just surprised he's continuing to do it at the NFL level. That guy has always been special at WINNING football games. I think people who don't follow his teams don't get that. They just see a tall guy that can run. They don't see the weekly improvement he's shown since his soph year in high school. They don't see how much teammates love the guy. They don't see how older teammates and coaching staffs respect the guy. I don't know where his career will go, but based on history I imagine it will involve improvement and figuring things out. That's just what he does.

If the draft were to be redone today, I'm pretty sure everyone would agree Vince Young A.K.A. Mr. Showtime would be the number one overall pick and I don't think this draft class was bad at all, it's just how good Vince Young WILL be in three or four years! WOW!

 

[Fan Since 77]

I'm waiting for you to make an argument that has merit. So far you haven't said anything that requires any defense.

I'm sorry that Vince upsets you, but everybody knows why.

And it doesn't matter what everybody says because your blind love for all things aggy won't let you see another side of the argument

 

[The30YardSlant]

A school that can actually fill its stadium on a regular basis.

And that stadium is at best the 5th loudest in the Big XII. When you fill a stadium with 30,000 people each week who didnt even attend the university that tends to be the case.

 

[J-DOG]

It's comical to see Houston fans in the stands high-fiving and cheering Vince Young after he just scored the game-winning TD!

Think there's a little regret from the Texan fans there?

That's why they are the Texans!

Kubiak is like Shanahann and thinks you can put any rb in there and gain yds.

That's why they did not draft Bush.

Vince Young??? They made another great talent evaluation and hitched thier wagon to David Carr.

It's funny!

I doubt anyone would take Young over Bush, especially since RBs are far less likely to bust than QBs.
