Randall Cunningham=Vincent Young.
Hmmm, I was thinking the same thing and that's not particularly positive.

Wow, I'm impressed. Let's take a look at Carr.

Can you claim Cunningham was a better QB in his first four years than Carr? Sure, he had a better TD/INT ratio and he created fourteen more touchdowns between his running and throwing. However, Carr passed for more yards and at a better percentage. Plus, he's been a better than average running QB. However, if Young is going to be another Cunningham I would say he shouldn't be the number one overall pick. Being better than Carr does not prove he is worthy of being number one. If Cunningham=Young then there is no proof that he would be better at all.
I happen to think the Cunningham comparison is a good one and he was a good NFL quarterback. He wasn't a great NFL QB. Maybe Young has more mental toughness than Cunningham. However, they both have the same issues (strong arms that aren't particularly accurate) and Cunningham never led his team anywhere close to a Superbowl (in fact, did he win a playoff game at all?)
