Maybe, but one of the few areas we don't need to fill is QB. If VY were a fantastic top 3 pick receiver, would you trade Andre to get him? Let's assume there's only one receiver per team, for arguments sake.
This is actually an excellent point. Many UT fans will use this argument as reason why Vince Young's stats are less than what they might have been normally (saw it a lot during the pre-NC Leinart, VY debates), but no one considers it when talking about Bush. USC had plenty of blowouts this season as well. In those games, I'm sure Bush didn't get as many carries as he normally would. Now, one can point to the NC game as a close game when Bush didn't touch the ball much, but it was pretty apparent that UT was gameplanning to stop Bush and not worrying much about White, who was the back that ran all over them. For that reason, I can understand Carrol going away from using Bush. Now, having said all that, I still think VY would be the better choice.
BWAHAHAAHAHHA!!! Aaron Brooks? Aaron Brooks' senior season at UVA: http://virginiasports.collegesports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/va-m-footbl-97stats.html 84 carries, 227 yards, 2.7 ypc, 5 TD 156-290, 2319 yards passing, 12 TD, 9 INT, 128.4 EFF Vince Young's junior year at Texas: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/stats?playerId=135107 155 carries, 1050 yards, 6.8 ypc, 12 TD 212-325, 3036 yards passing, 26 TD, 10 INT, 163.95 EFF you've been OWNED
Not a good comparison. WRs don't have NEAR the impact on games that QB does. Even if they did, Andre Johnson is already a top 5 receiver (despite his stats last season), most believe. So odds that a top 3 receiver will upgrade that is low. Most don't believe Carr is anywhere near that good nor will he ever be.
Randall is a good comparison skill wise, but Randall threw a better ball (throwing motion) Randall's passes were beautiful but Randall was a flake leadership wise.
com'on dude, who played on some of the greatest teams ever, Dorsett played for the first Cowboy Dynasty.
Well I'm just saying who would you rather have? Randall Cunningham or Tony Dorsett? I think them two are = to VY/Bush
Vince is Kordell Stewart, someone brought it up today. That is exactly who he will be. Only difference is Vince is faster and not gay.
In 1990 Randall Cunningham 6'4 215lbs 3466 passing yrds 942 rushing yrds In 2005 Vince Young 6'5 233lbs 3036 passing yrds 1050 rushing yrds
Cody Hodges? 109 rushes for 191 rushing yards in 2005. 6'2", 210 and slow. Omar Jacobs? 40 rushes for 62 yards in 2005. For a 6-5 mediocre team. Kordell Stewart? 6'1". 635 yards was his highest career rushing total in college. 537 yards was his highest rushing total in the pros. Not a 1st round draft pick. You're really reaching now and making yourself look foolish with comparisons to guys like Jacobs, Stewart and Hodges. None of them have the gifts Vince does.
Randall Cunningham, 1990 NFC Offensive MVP. That's pretty badass. http://football.about.com/library/weekly/bl_awardsnfcpoy.htm
I don't know what point he was trying to make but that season also prompted the cover he put. Randall was thought to be the future. He just couldn't sustain.
I think he broke his leg in 1992, which pretty much ruined his career. He did have a ridiculous comeback with the Vikings in '99 when he led them to 15-1.
