    Because of the Young Supporters saying he can't play QB in the NFL but now he should be the first pick. My favorite is mad max saying he wants him as a WR.

    Again, what's so hard to understand about it being over a year ago that these things were being said. Are you being purposely obtuse?

    So since we need a #2 WR is that why a lot of you guys want to pick him over Bush?

    I just love how these people who watched him play all the time were throwing him under the bus but now he is a savior. They will change their opinion back in a year or too. Then it will be regression

    Who?

    You must be thinking of the rise, fall & rise of Reggie McNeal.

    It's unquestioned that Young improved from year to year and almost from game to game has he progressed at Texas, and that he unquestionably reached his peak in the Rose Bowl, his final game.

    He made people such as yourself who sounded the "he can't pass" routine over and over look rather short-sighted. But anyway - of COURSE he changed peoples minds. Guys who show progress always do.

    Anyone who knows anything about football and watched the games would not throw mcneal under the bus. He played good and the coaches tried to make him into an option/ spread QB when he is a good pocket passer/scrambler.

    IC, I guess the Rams should have cut Kurt Warner after the Rams won the Super Bowl, as obviously a player cannot change dramatically in a year.

    I'm in the Bush camp, but you are are just going too far with your anti-Vince stuff.

    Vince's career progression:

    Stat Overview Passing
    YEAR CMP ATT YDS CMP% YPA LNG TD INT SACK RAT
    2003 84 143 1155 58.7 8.08 67 6 7 10 130.64
    2004 148 250 1849 59.2 7.40 49 12 11 9 128.37
    2005 212 325 3036 65.2 9.34 75 26 10 13 163.95

    I'd say he's improved in leaps and bounds in all aspects of the passing game.

    you do realize that players of his caliber in college are supposed to improve every year, right? just because reggie didn't doesn't mean no else can.

    That was basically my point. He had a great year and is a great prospect. But , lets not call him a sure thing just yet or forget the fact that even his biggest supporters now (not to mention those that have seen him play the most) did not think he was NFL material. I bumped this thread up too have a little fun with the Bush haters. The same as i will when Bush shuts them up in the NFL, "bush can't run between the tackles" "eric metcalf".
