I'm partial to Vince Young, personally.  Could Vince Young be better than Michael Vick? I believe his brother Marcus is better than Michael. Only time will tell, dear Marvie. Young was def. impressive, esp. at the end of the Nat'l Champ. game.... Is Marcus better? We probably won't ever know.... the probability of him getting drafted or even staying through a summer camp or try-out or whatever is slim, I'd say..... |

I thought Marcus' play at Tech was more fluid that Michael. He might be a head case, but he will be on someone's NFL roster this season.
Vince has shown his stuff over the last three year at Texas. Give him time to work

The question for MV2 will be whether he will STAY on someone's roster this season.
OK - so who will be drafted #1? Reggie, Matt, or Vince?

Vick 2 is too talented not to be on someone's roster.
Reggie Bush will be drafted number one. The real question is who will draft him at number one. Texans are entertaining offers for the pick.

I'll weigh in on this, only because I went to VT and spent a good amount of time riding the feet and arms of anyone named 'Vick' under center.
First off, both are undersized pro QB's. The prototypical NFL QB is usually 6'3"-6'5" 230 lbs.. see Peyton Manning, Rothleisburger, Elway etc... The Vick's are barely 6'1 and 6'0.. Michael gets by because he's the fastest guy on the field, and he has a cannon for an arm. Sadly, his accuracy is reflected in his poor completion percentage. Little Vick is much more of an accomplished pocket passer, with a good arm but isn't as elusive as big bro. (though he did run a 4.42 in the combine).. Compiling all this with his off field problems, I see it hard to him to be picked up in the draft, especially with the QB class coming out. Not to say that someone won't take a chance on him, but it will be late... and might be as WR or something.. like how Micheal Robinson of Penn State is being sold.. I dunno. Sucks, cause I think he could be a decent QB if he put his mind on it.
Anyhoo, Vince Young, being 6'5" is much more marketable as a pro QB. Although his mechanics are atrocious as he looks like he's flinging poop off his hands when he throws.. Little Vick is a better passer than he is, but I guess thats something they think he can work on.
This draft should be interesting. Lots of good players.. but clearly, as his pro day workout suggested, Reggie Bush is ridiculous.

He will most likely be a second day selection. I don't think you can let talent like him go undrafted.
Anwilli aren't you the prez of Hokieville in this area?

Anwilli aren't you the prez of Hokieville in this area? Yes! I'm pres. of the DC chapter... if people want to hang out or find out what is going on, they can come see me! I'll also be that girl running around selling the starry awards.  Man did that school just let anyone in?! Seems like a lot of you characters running around.... There are over 25,000 alumni just in the DC area... that doesn't include all the people in Loudoun and Manassas... And, anyone can get in... if they've got on avg. a 3.7 GPA and 1250+ on SAT... That's about the avg. freshman for the class of 2009. Sorry, this has turned into a VT info session... back to football! |

3.7 and 1250 SAT.. Wow, definitely jumped up there a bit. Maybe thats to diminish the quantity from Loudon and Manassas... (rimshot)

I thought the last thing I heard was that Vince Young wasn't even going to be a Top 10 pick...
I think that if anything Vince Young will turn out to be more like a Steve McNair / Dante Culpepper pre-injury or Randall Cunningham....it just doesn't seem like there is a high demand for "Michael Vick" type QBs....
He'll run when need be, but definitely won't rely on it like Vick does...
