| A lot of people will point to the 30-40 and say he was only efficient because they were such short passes, but that short passing game is where I feel he has a HUGE advantage on both Vick and McNabb, as far as their development at the same level. Both of those guys are still struggling with touch passes, but Young showed tonight how patient he is, and how well he can deliver that short pass right on target.
I think maybe my biggest concern with regards to him as an NFL QB is that his bread and butter is that shotgun read, where he takes a second or two to read the coverage, and decide whether to take off and run. It seems like whenever they ran that tonight, it was an easy 10-yard run, or an 11-yard pass. Obviously, that's a play that will not be NEARLY as effective against NFL defenses.
The draft just got a lot more complicated tonight, considering Young starred in high school in Houston, and the Texans might have some pressure on them to keep him around. |
