Beck gets drafted by Miami, then ends up in Baltimore, then comes to Washington, now on to Houston. One would think that somewhere in all this if he was going to pan out he would have already.
I started all this to jump to Vince Young. Drafted by the Titans, Eagles pick him up, and now on to the Bills. What part of "bust" just is not ringing a bell? Especially with the Eagles part.... I've heard Andy Reid is good at developing QB's. So if he didn't make it there..... why should anyone even give him a shot?
Could Vince Young Signing Start a Quarterback Controversy? | Yardbarker.com |
Vince Young's reputation was built on what he did in the National Championship Game in 2005 against USC. A lot of people knew then that he was a run first quarterback and he wouldn't be able to read NFL defenses. But Young did hold the starting QB job in Tennessee for a number of seasons before moving on to Philly. With 46 career TD passes and 51 INTs, I would agree and say that Vince Young is definitely a bust.
Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, Aaron Rogers, and Ben Rothesburger are all still with the teams that drafted them. Vince Young is on his third team, and all of the above mentioned NFL quarterbacks were in the league before Young. That too would tell anyone who knows football that Vince Young is a bust.
