I agree with that. I just hate blatant and biased homerism from the likes of Vito. VY hasn't played a game yet and he's being compared to two of the best QB's of all-time. Gimme a fucking break.PSUFAN wrote:I'm willing to give the kid a chance before I drop an evaluation on him.

You might say 5 years since I did get to see him in 2 high school games, FSN showed a Hou Madison game on TV and I also watched the Army All American game where Vince looked like a Man among boys.King Crimson wrote:really? 4 years.Vito Corleone wrote:I don't call it homerism, I call it sticking by my opinion, I have had the chance to watch Vince for 4 years.SoCalTrjn wrote:

Vince is from Texas so spooner fan and aggsy fan will never give him his props no matter how good he is. I expect that, trix is, well trix, so his bitterness has reached epic proportions. My opinion is Vince has proven he can throw the ball, you don't lead the NCAA in passing efficiency without being able to throw.
Vince is the best leader I have ever seen in a College QB. I can't think of anyone that compares.
Yep all the best men in the clutch are the only Texass quarterbacks to be shut out in over 3 decades. They also reguraly do this in the biggest game of the regular season against their rivals.And Vince is the most clutch player I have ever seen, I doubt anyone will contend this.
Still I took statistics in college and I understand that the odds are not in his favor. But look at all the can't miss guys that did miss especially at QB, and then look at the guys that didn't miss. I think Vince has more in common with the hits than the misses.
Yo Vito.....VY DID NOT lead the nation in passing eff. I looked it up. Whoever told you so is a fucking homer like you........Vito Corleone wrote:Hey SoCalCondom, If you send me your mailing address I will personally send you a copy of the 2k6 Rose Bowl.SoCalTrjn wrote:Cicero wrote:Doesnt have the arm that Elway had or the brains that Corky from Life Goes On had.

Even as a Texas fan I must agree on that.the_ouskull wrote:

yea that proves he will not be a great QB, he ran the ball 33% of the time he played. Guess what the top running play Texas ran was the zone read. The only thing you proved is that he is a duel threat QB. Wow your a genius.the_ouskull wrote:Look... It wasn't that the offense was efficient either. It was that it was dummied down so that Baby Touchdown Wonderlic could run it. He may have ranked 3rd in QB Rating, but also he ranked 53rd in number of passing attempts with 325. ...and 81st in number of carries with 155.
That's 81st out of ALL players... Not QB's.
In other words, Vince Young had 480 plays to himself last year, and he ran on 33% of them. One out of every three times this alleged Quarterback drops back, he winds up tucking and running.
Now, normally when someone is averaging 6.8 ypc, you'd say, "fuck it, let him run, that's 8th in the country."
...but, when you look a little closer, or, more specifically, a little higher up on the leaderboard, you'll see that Tejas' tailback, Jamaal Charles, was 4th in the nation with 7.4 ypc. So, basically, Tejas' offensive line, plus the fact that he ran the ball so freaking much, had a LOT to do with Vince's passer efficiency. A lot more to do with it, in fact, than his arm did.
Vince was a good college QB/RB on a great team, but he will NOT be a good pro QB. Period.

I think what Vito was saying was Stoops likes to run it up on people. That is a Spurrier mentality.

That was the scoring pass. In addition, Vince threw the ball three times in the 4th alone against OU. He passed it 10 times in the second half against OU, which accounted for over 37% of his passes for the game. A game in which OU was never within 25 in the second half. So spare me that whole, "Mack didn't let Vince pad his stats" crap. I'll give you the fact, and it is a fact, that Vince didn't play as late in games as some QB's do... Mack IS good about that. However, like you said, Tejas was blowing people out this year. However, regarding the OU game, Vince was still in that game, passing, in the 4th. Yeah. Do I need to look up other games...? Here's a few more incidents...
-- 4th 14:06 UT - Sweed, Limas 13 yd pass from Young, Vince. (To take a 42-10 lead in the 4th. Sure it's safe?)
-- In the Baylor game, Vince threw three passes in the drive that put you up 41-0 in the 3rd. Still passing, I see?
-- Against Kansas, he threw 5 passes in the drive that put UT up 59-7 in the 3rd. A game Tejas was leading 52-0 at the half. Padding stats can happen in the 1st half of games too, A_B.
-- I think it also merits mentioning that Young's backup only threw a total of 11 passes all season. You can talk about "the zone read" all you want, but that's just a fancy way of saying what I've already said... Vince did the old "tuck and run" a LOT more than any other "efficient" QB ever has. That shit won't fly in the pros, where LB's are bigger, and faster, and can, and will bring Vince down. Not at all like college where those with the speed didn't have the size and those with the size lacked the speed.
Vince Young will NOT be a good pro QB. Frankly, I don't think that he's smart enough to run an NFL offense, and he's certainly not the second coming of Mike Vick like so many Tejas fans are trying to say he is. He's not as fast, as elusive, and he doesn't have Vick's arm. Also, spare me the "leadership" crap. Getting Mack Brown to listen to 50 Cent doesn't make someone a leader. It makes a coach desperate, changing his offense to support this "zone read" crap because Vince couldn't grasp the real offense. It worked though... well... but, as with many things about Vince, it won't fly in the pros. Sorry. This isn't about how well he did in college. In college, I'll go so far as to say that, last year, he had one of the best seasons a college QB has EVER had, in the history of college football. It hurts me to say it, but it's the absolute truth.
...and having said that, I'm discussing his PRO prospects, not his college glory days. Vince Young will NOT be a good pro QB. If you think otherwise, just say so and we'll let time tell who was right.

He was before the bowls started. Since he only complete 75% of his passes for 267 yards and no TD's against the greatest team ever assembled, his rating dropped.T REX wrote:Yo vittles.....WHO TOLD YOU HE WAS FIRST IN PASSING EFF?????

Here are some examples:
Second Quarter
OU 02:46 Mark Clayton 28 yd pass from Jason White (Trey DiCarlo kick) 42-0 Why pass when you are up 35-0??
OU 00:31 Travis Wilson 12 yd pass from Jason White (Trey DiCarlo kick) 49-0 Again...why? You are up 42
Fourth Quarter
OU 04:20 Travis Wilson 9 yd pass from Tommy Grady (Trey DiCarlo kick) 56-7 Still throwing up 42 in the 4th quarter????
Third Quarter
OU 08:20 Jejuan Rankins 15 yd pass from Jason White (Trey DiCarlo kick) 44-13 OU has this game in hand and Bubba is still chunking the skin
Fourth Quarter
OU 14:53 Mark Clayton 38 yd pass from Jason White (Trey DiCarlo kick) 58-13 Up 38 in the 4th and JW is still in the game
Third Quarter
OU 08:50 Brandon Jones 66 yd pass from Jason White (Trey DiCarlo kick) 45-9 Up 31 in the 3rd and still throwing
Fourth Quarter
OU 05:42 Mark Bradley 14 yd pass from Paul Thompson (Trey DiCarlo kick) 52-9 Spare me the 3rd QB needed reps crap
Fourth Quarter
OU 12:18 Mark Clayton 12 yd pass from Jason White (Trey DiCarlo kick) 39-0 Up 32 and still throwing
Fourth Quarter
OU 10:33 Trent Smith 4 yd pass from Nate Hybl (Trey DiCarlo kick) 53-7 WTF??
OU 03:13 Brandon Jones 7 yd pass from Paul Thompson (Trey DiCarlo kick) 60-15 Totally running it up
These are games that have happened over the last 3 years. Stoops loves to run it up on people so spare me the Mack was throwing a TD against OU in the 3rd quarter and they were up 24-6 at the time crap.
I think this is just sour grapes on your behalf. You love to run your yap when OU is playing well and has scoreboard. When you lose your advantage you start pulling all the shit that you rag on others about out of your ass.
Will Vince be a good QB? I don't get paid to make that determination. It is funny that NFL scouts are drooling at the prospect of having a QB that can be both accurate and mobile. I remember when Steve McNair came out and people thought that Oilers were nuts for taking him because he was from a small school and not "smart enough" to run a pro offense. All he did was win an MVP and lead the Oilers...errrr Titans to the Super Bowl. That smart enough comment sure was a redneck moment. You should hit yourself with a phone book.Funny how Pete Carroll who was an Super Bowl winning defensive coordinator, could not come up with a plan to stop a QB that wasn't as fast as Michael Vick, doesn't have an arm as good as Vick, and isn't smart enough to run an offense other than the basic zone read. Funny how Stoops the genius couldn't fare any better too. A good coach uses his players strengths to mold the team. Vince had tremendous skills running and passing. The Zone Read was perfect for him. WIll he run it in the pros?? No. He won't. Time will tell but when every general manager is salivating about his ability. Houston is even think about drafting a defensive player because the Titans will probably draft him and they don't want to face him twice a year.
Obviously if we went by how well people did in College then Bubba White would be playing on Sundays. What is he doing right now??? Any clue. Heupel??
We put in a guy who will be bagging groceries at the end of his career to play for two quarters and get upset because your defense can't even stop a bunch of bench warmers? Bob doesn't leave the starter in to pad their stats. That is what skull was bitching about. Do you know what Jason White's stats would have looked like in 2004 if Bob had done what you seem to be trying to accuse him of? Playstation stats. If Bob did what you ar trying to accuse him of we would have had 100 points on the board by the end of the third quarter against both texass and Texass A&M in 2004. Harv you should be thankful that Bob didn'[t try to run up the score in the past because there are a number of games, including two against texass, where we would have scored tripple digits.Harvdog wrote:Skull likes to talk shit when the Sooners are winning.

You totally missed the point. Skull was complaining that Mack left Vince in to Pad stats. I doubyt it since he was gone early in the 3rd of many games.

Think of it as calling my shot, so to speak. And yes I have not seen another QB that is more clutch than Vince.Killian wrote:A link to Peter King at SI isn't a random link.

Yet you discount others who think FJ will struggle and provide links to reports/scouts/credible writers who think along the same lines.
And you said he was the most clutch QB in college that you've ever seen, and the best leader as a QB. That's comparing him to everyone. And, you are also the one saying that he could have the same impact on the NFL/QB position that Jordan did on the NBA/2 guard position.
You're still letting burnt orange cloud your judgement.
Funny... I saw those stats from that game, and it showed that he scored 3 touchdowns. I don't get it, how can somebody is trying to call themselves a QB score 3 touchdowns, and not having any passing touchdowns? How does that work, exactly?Harvdog wrote:He was before the bowls started.

Vince has had exactly one year where he made great decisions. The year before last, he threw as many picks as scores. Right now, FJ has had one good statistical year in college. One.Vito Corleone wrote: Now I do realize none of this makes a difference in the NFL but what does is the fact that he is 6'5 235 runs a 4.5 40 without even without preparing for it. He has a cannon for an arm with great touch and makes great decisions with the ball.
Other great college qbs never made it, but when you look at the guys who were high draft picks that didn't make it, most had problems that didn't have anything to do with talent but rather whats between their ears. Vince doesn't have that problem, despite what the wonderlic says.
Judging him on the wonderlic is akin to judging a straight A student on a bad SAT score.
