He's in an offense built for him, look at Alex Smiths numbers in Utah last season.

Young success in the NFL, as with all QB's, will depend largely on his supporting cast. But I don't see how anyone can say he'll be a flop when he holds the best QB efficiency rating in all of college football.[/QUOTE]


I do remember an elusive QB who reset the record books in Passer rating in college ball. How is Shaun King in the pros again?

this does not always translate into NFL success (any Texas Tech QB, David Carr, any University of Houston QB back in the day, any number of the first round busts over the years) As for Simms... Texas fans wish Applewhite was the starter. Simms was alway undeservingly given the starting job

Young will be a better QB than Ron Mexico.

But as htismage frequently points out - better than bad does not equal good.

Anyways, I'm pretty impressed.

And Leinart won't be good like Carson Palmer, but he may be good like Brian Greise.

I'd take Chris Simms over him right now...

Vince Young will be an excellent Pro QB, but he will need a few years to figure out how to throw the ball like a man. If he can learn to throw like a man, and get on a team that can let him sit and learn for awhile, he can be a stud.

"Throw the ball like a man" I pictured some weird commercial with guys talking about how manly they throw the ball then selling deodorant when you said that for some reason.

I gave credit to Texas for winning the game in the game thread if you wanna check that out...........


I can understand what you are trying to say-rap music, makes want to puke. If you don't like the music,Geddys voice, Canadians, awesome drums and guitar playing, that is fine, not your cup of tea. But to dismiss them as no talent bums-that is shallow, and closed minded.

I have always loved Rush, but when they came back, it was amazing. That CD, personally came at a time when I had lost everything-or so I thought. But if Neil can come back from that-I could at least quit wallowing in self pitty and make a new life.

And another thing-I ain't about hate-just the opposite. I want to have fun in life. Ya, I rant at shit that irritates me-but I don't hate anyone on here. I make just the same amount of jokes at my own expense as I do others. If shit is funny its funny, I don't care who its about. Life is too short to get pissed about stuff you can't control. I know because like Rush, I got a second chance after being gone for a few minutes-believe me, you find out what is important in life.

I thought he was talking about the Levitra commercial. Hmmmmm...maybe that's the solution. Vince has ED

Not saying he's a lock to succeed, but the "the guy can't throw" stuff is BS. He completes a high percentage, has a nearly 3/1 TD/INT ratio, and does a good job of handling pressure. He's gotten it done impressively two years in a row at the biggest game of the year. Instead of comparing him to Vick because he's black, why don't we compare him to another successful running college QB like Steve Young. That guy never did jack.

I'll say it again, given the right cast around him, I see no reason why he can't be every bit as successful as any other highly rated QB coming out of college.

Mecca 01-05-2006 01:02 AM

Rush is just to 70's and annoying sounding to me than anything. I like bands like Sevendust, so Rush isn't my cup of tea that's for sure.....

Heh....yeah. Um, that was the fault of the receptionist.

She'll be beaten severely.

I meant to quote a post on Vick II...

Why do people think VY can't read a D? He hasn't seemed to have had a problem with that all year.
