this thread has gotten ridiculous from both sides. Reggie was considered a better pro prospect up until this season. this whole notion that he didn't have a good career at A&M is revisionist history. vince's passing game wasn't much with the weapons he had last season. Reggie's wasn't much this season for the same reason. look at how much better brady quinn looks with good offensive coaching and good receivers. He looks almost as good as a pro prospect as Lienart. the only qb who could get it done almost by himself of the group is vince. none of the others match up to him in that area.
What is this stat and how do you measure it? Leinart is the best QB in the country. Vince hasn't won 2 MNCs or a even a Heisman. Leinart has.
let's just keep things in perspective here. McGee had a good game, but his passing stats, 9/23 0 tds 1 int, 83 yds. so I wouldn't start to say he was A&M's best qb just yet.
So leinart hasn't had any offensive talent around him? lienart being the best qb in the country is debatable. but even if he is, if I had to build a team around one player, it would be vince, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that opinion.
Neither has Leinart. I seem to recall LSU winning the BCS championship game 2 years ago. So if anything, it'd be 1.5 MNCs.
How is it ridiculous? Do you even watch college football? Vince Young is just as good, if not a better college football QB. Charlie Ward was an amazing player and was more valuable than any traditional drop back passer. Tee Martin's multi-dimensional attack helped Tennessee win a national championship - something Peyton Manning did not even come close to accomplishing. Eric Crouch was invaulable to the Husker teams. A college QB who can run and scramble is worth his weight in gold and is oftentimes the much better and more complete college football player.
If I were voting on the Heisman ballot, it'd be: 1. Reggie Bush 2. Vince Young 3. Matt Leinart In fact, http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/heisman/index Not a single ESPN writer with a ballot is currently planning on voting Leinart over Young. Why is it ridiculous exactly to compare the two?
Leinart is playing with the #1 Heisman candidate - who is also not the everydown RB. He won those national championships with multiple high first round skill position players. Vince Young's cast is not even close.
If Vince Young had Jarrett, Steve Smith, Reggie Bush, and Lendale White - Texas would've been national champions. Those players are unstoppable. USC's offensive skill players are sick. Leinart also benefitted tremendously from Norm Chow's tutliage. Young had Greg Davis.
Blah Blah Blah, Vince young will be washing cars, catching footballs from Matt Leinart or Brady Quinn,or blocking for reggie bush in a couple years.
You mean Roy williams (top ten pick), cedric benson (top ten pick) ? Did somebody say tommie frazier?
Roy Williams? And how many games did Vince Young play with Roy Williams. Cedric Benson was a productive player but not a gamebreaker. You obviously do not understand anything about college football. Just repeat everything bigtexx says because you have no original ideas of your own.
who is bigtexx? Cedric Benson was "productive" (haha). The 5th overall pick was productive. BJ johnson was "productive". Vince Young Could not even throw to Roy Williams, thats why he had to battle with Chance Mock (yea that chance mock). Leinart wipes his ass with Vince Young as a Quarterback. Vince Young will be a hell of a Receiver/Blocker.
