Vince Young, I'd like to take him as my running back!

he is definitely faster and stronger than I'd thought before watching most of the game. the other guys on the field seemed to be moving in slow mo even when he didn't seem to be going full speed and the guy kept on shrugging off all of his would be tacklers.

That was one of the best college games I ever saw, Young is unreal, it's like the guy has a forcefield around him, no one can catch, or tackle him, what a game!

Well, I said over and over before the game that Reggie will be the main focus of Texas' D... as such, he tried to do way to much (especially with the stupid lateral in the first quarter). Vince Young made a believer out of me tonight and i congratulate the Horns on a well deserved W.

but Houston should still draft Reggie. He's going to blow you out of this world in the L.

Yeah, I strongly agree with you, R. Bush is not overated.
We just agree to disagree on who is the better player. They are both awesome though.
I just read on ESpn:
"He (Young) ran for 200 yards and passed for another 267.....and became the first player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 2,500 in a season.

One other thing, IMO I do not see the Texans using that pick on Bush. The Texans need deperate help on both the offense and defensive lines. Casserly will try and trade down. There might not be any takers though.
Either way Young is saying tonight he is going to stay in school. Once he sees the $igns he might change his mind.

I can't really say who I think the better player is after tonight's game. Vince Young showed me a lot more than I had really seen because this was such a close game. I didn't see the OSU game, so I can't speak intelligently on that. All I can say is it is too close for me to call right now.

Dirtbag · 01-05-2006, 02:30 AM

Uh, his name is *LenDale* White, not "Lindell." I guess that answers the question whether he's overlooked or not.

Vince Young was sick tonight! He almost outrushed Bush and White COMBINED.

I think I'll take Vince Young.....

I live in Austin and I am a Horn fan and if that wasn't the best damn game you have seen in a long time something is wrong!!!! HOOK ' EM, now onto more important things this Saturday where it really matters!

Amen!

I'm not a big college game guy but I do catch some of the games. As a person who has not seen much of these players over the years this is how I saw the game. To me it looked like Bush while playing hard was playing not to get hurt. Vince Young wow, I would draft him just to keep him from going to another team. He can run like crazy and has a great touch on his passes and now we know he can perform in the big games. I was more impressed with White than Bush. If they did not say or have names on their jersey I would have thought White was Bush. This was a great game and I was realy glad I stayed up to watch what will go down as one of the best college games in history.

Leinert is currently playing in a pro style offense, while Vince Young isn't. There is more of a market for a quarterback like Leinert in the NFL than young. Vince Young will not be able to run like he does now in the NFL.

I'm not saying he isn't an awesome qb and he won't be able to run, but nothing like he does in the college game. Running qb's do not last as long as pocket qb's do in the NFL.

Also, if you draft Leinert, its not like your getting a qb with no mobility like Ramsey.

They will go in this order
1. Bush
2. Leinert
3. Young

Vince Young is the real deal. His stock went way up after last night. If he came out now, he should be the number one pick. Bush is exciting, but he reminds me of Warrick Dunn. I'm not sure he will handle the pounding of the NFL. He may be a great returner or 3rd down back. It's questionable whether he will be a feature back. I like LenDale White as a feature back. He has great elusiveness and size. Leinert will make a very good NFL quarterback but if I had to pick one QB, I would select Vince Young first. Whether you pick Young or Leinert, you can't lose.

This is my order.
1. Young
2. Leinert
3. White
4. Bush

It's so funny how one nationally televised game can change America's opinion. I have been saying that drafting Bush at 1 would be stupid because he is not a huge guy and runs past inferior competition on a weekly basis. In the NFL, you have to have some MASS, a la Lindell White, to be a successful RB. Bush will be a great 3rd down/return specialist, but I dont see him as much more than that for at least a couple of years. If I had the first pick I would trade it to the Titans so they can draft Leinhart and take a bunch of future picks in return.

this is bad logic... so basically, marshall faulk or barry sanders were only 3rd down backs because of their size? i'm sorry but reggie has just as much, if not more instinct than both of those guys.
