Dude, I love how you are so derisive to those that disagree with you when you have no empirical, concrete evidence to support your claims. Your biggest point is that, were McNeal to switch teams with Young, McNeal would have had better results. But this is a fantasy scenario. You can't state with any real total confidence that this would be true, because that scenario hasn't happened. Texas fans are giving you stats to demonstrate VY's marked superiority as a QB, player and winner, but you dismiss all that because he has better teammates. Fine, you can assume that based on your own observations, but don't act as if anyone that doesn't agree with it is blindly ignoring an obvious fact, because it is all speculation on your part. Not even bigtexx has chimed in on this argument because even he thinks, despite his obvious bone to pick with UT, that Vince Young is far superior to McNeal as a college football player.
He wasn't benched for the game... He was still dealing with a high ankle sprain. The same thing Adrian Peterson was dealing with the first half of the season...
IC2000 youre delusional. What's up with Aggies that continually whine/b****/complain/moan about VY, yet all VY does is just win football games.
I'm not a Vince Young guy either. I don't think he will amount to much in the pros. But with that being said he is a great college player and is far better than Reggie McNeal and its not even close. Vince has a realistic shot at the heisman and aTm played its best game of the season yesterday with Reggie on the bench. I doubt you will find another person that will agree with you.
Man I'm still upset about Robert Johnson. Johnson was the top rated JUCO QB came to Tech to play QB. He's a freak, hes a WR now he could never grasp the playbook from what I've heard. He's a heck of a WR probaly going to be a 1st or 2nd rounder a year from now. Granted hes not in the same company as those two guys but it would have been fun to watch.
I agree, the only problem i have is that vince young gets so much credit and that people say i am crazy to think mcneal is anywhere as good as him. Regardless i think young is overrated. You are free to disagree
LOL. Yes Vince is better than Reggie. That is obvious. Neither can hold a candle to Matt Leinart, though.
David Carr - hate is uncalled for. Joe Montana couldn't do much either with that line. Carr as a prospect is just as good as Leinart/Young. He needs help.
Not sure if this is true, but I read on an aggie message board (yes I was very bored, lol) that Reggie's ankle was fine and he chose not to play in the TU game to not risk any injuries for the upcoming NFL combine. Supposedly this fired up the team and they rallied around that new fish QB.
I don't want to get into it, because its a broken record, but Montona wouldn't underthrow the ball when he did get time on a simple out route and Montana wouldn't get his passes batted down at the line because he didn't throw the ball in a weird side-arm motion.
He might if his footwork and timing were thrown off by the expectation of an incoming rush. It's not as simple as pointing to when Carr does and doesn't have time... the problems caused by the OL extend deeper than that. Let's give Carr a season where he isn't scared to death (and rightfully so) of being crushed each time he drops back and see if some of these things don't improve. But yes, it is a broken record, so we can save a little bit of this for the Carr thread of the week after tomorrow's game... I'm sure Luckyazn will come through for us.
interesting at best Why would Reggie do that. . . i don't recall any expectation that he would be drafted in the 1st or even 2nd round Rocket River
I watched the game with a mixed crowd (Aggie/ Horns) that included several die hard Aggie fans ~ they felt he could have played and was benched.

Trainers helped McNeal to the sideline and he rode to the locker room on a motorized cart, but on Monday he wasn't limping. Crutches?
