Guest Sores Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) John Lombardi, a former NFL scout and grandson of Packers legend Vince Lombardi, reports on Vince Young, a 6-5, 233-pound quarterback from Texas: "Has the measurables and is a tremendous athlete. I could see him running in the 4.4 40 zone. He is obviously very mobile and can kill a defense with his scrambling. He is able to stay alive and wait for a receiver to get open with his elusiveness. He is not as polished a passer as you want, but has improved since last year. His arm is decent, but not great and he seems to throw darts, not footballs. He throws from his ear, straight out. I would like to see a higher release point. He will need to develop as a passer and a quarterback. I know the running quarterback thing is a cliché, but it is what it is. He will need to develop patience and not let his raw athletic ability overcome sound decision making. I sense true leadership ability from him and I believe he is intelligent enough to make the transition to the next level. He just needs more coaching. Matt Leinart benefited from having Norm Chow as his coach for a few years. Young needs that kind of tutelage. Nothing against his current coaches, but college and the pros are different. It took Chris Simms (from Texas) three years to play and his dad was a pro quarterback. Simms is not the athlete Young is, but was more developed as a QB at the same time in their careers. Young will benefit from being drafted by a team that does not throw him into the fray early and lets him develop like Carson Palmer or Steve McNair."

Pancake Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 For arguments sake, lets say he is on par with Vick....Although Vick is really fun to watch he cant win the big game. Its still up for debate wether the lack of WR production in ATL is due to Vick or the WRs. I think its Vick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
