| Vince Young
I realize I've been down on this kid for a few years, and took exception to basically anyone who called him "the next big thing" at QB, but I watched the first half of that Bucks/Horns game on Saturday and was very, very impressed.
In just two quarters of football I was seeing things I don't think I've ever seen from Young -- and I'm obviously not talking about his legs. He looked really composed in the pocket -- which is something I thought he struggled with even against mediocre teams -- and he was actually throwing strikes to his receivers. That first touchdown pass was right on the money, and his arm strength looked like it's for real. I realize he threw a couple picks in the 2nd half, and OSU did a better job of containment on him, but to go into Ohio State and walk out with a victory is a huge accomplishment for a junior quarterback.
I still don't know if I'm sold on him as an undisputed #1 overall, but he certainly has all the tools needed. |
