There's still a lot to prove for Vince Young, but the other thing is the way that quarterback play has evolved in the NFL since the 2006 draft, you're better off with the dual threat quarterback who can make all the throws than you are with Leinart or Cutler, who might be able to throw the ball through a brick wall, but cant seem to throw it through a defender's chest.

Quarterback play, league wide, has moved decisively in the direction of Vince Young being successful, and should it continue in the current direction, Young will be a top ten quarterback someday. Problem for Leinart is, while he came into the league a relative commodity, players like him are being developed at an astounding rate. Its not that he can't play, he's just not very special. Joe Flacco may only be a little bit better than Leinart, but he came from Delaware vs. USC, and Cam Cameron deserves all the credit in the world for succeeding with him just a year after failing with John Beck.
