Look, Vince Young was absolutely spectacular at Texas, particularly winning that Rose Bowl game. And I'll give him credit that for a rookie, he posted a good record as a starter on a crappy team. Vince Young is a winner, no question.
But this is the NFL, and if you don't have the whole cast, your team is not going to make it through a 16 game season and the playoffs.
All I hear and read is Vince Young this, Vince Young that, Vince Young will be a good fantasy football starter, Vince Young was in the Pro Bowl last year, Vince Young is going to be a perennial Pro Bowler, Vince Young is on the cover of Madden this year, etc. They're treating this guy like he's a 10 year veteran with a big NFL track record, and he doesn't have that.
Isn't it too early to say all of these things? Again, the guy was on an 8-8 team, posted very mediocre stats (albet he was a rookie), but was starting when the team went 8-5, and he was big trouble to Buffalo when we played him. But isn't it too early to knight him the second coming? He hasn't put up big passing numbers, and more importantly, he doesn't have the supporting cast around him.
I just think a lot of "experts" are getting way ahead of themselves and we might see a bit of a letdown season from Vince Young this year.
