Yes, unstoppable. In college. How often he'll convert on 4th and 5 in the pros is a different matter. He won't be a 3000/1000 QB in the NFL. If he runs as much as he did in college, he'll be lucky to not get injured. You don't run in the NFL without taking some sort of beating (ask Mike Vick). He has the potential to be a better pro than David Carr. VY will probably be a good player, at least I think he will. I also think David Carr will be a good player. We don't need two good QB's on this team. Draft Bush or trade the pick. Don't draft Vince.

I remember someone saying that DC was dumb as bricks...so since VY scored a 6 on his wonerlic, what exactly does that make him? What exactly is dumber than bricks? I just think it's funny that VY has made all the wrong moves since leaving college. I don't agree with Jim Rome hardly at all, but he hit the nail on the head there.

Start up with the names and your posts will be deleted as a 1st step.
Multiple sources are still reporting that VY did score a 6 on a 1st test and thereafter retested at a higher score. There are other reports calling the 6 false, but there doesn't seem to be any consistant explanation of why it was false. Absent blind adoption of whichever facts support your case best (i.e. what you are doing), there is no reason to call anyone out at this point.

That's what they said about McNair, McNabb, Cullpepper, & Vick..... Yet they've all managed to win more than 2 games every season they played...

I'm not saying that I agree with it, but ProFootballTalk.com was saying yesterday that the NFL is trying to cover it all up because Mack Brown is really pissed off now and they need to appease him (and every other college coach) because that is how NFL scouts and personnel get access to the college players before the college football season ends which makes the evaluation process much easier.

Every player is taken one at a time, even if you trade the pick you still have to pick whoever you pick one at a time

The fact is that we're now stuck with Carr. I would have taken Young before paying Carr what they are paying him. I just wanted to pay him what other teams were willing to, which I'm sure would have been less. Now, we will suffer a huge cap hit if he is released, traded, whatever and, of course, having Young and Carr would be stupid expensive. I do think that Leinhart will be better than Young, but not much. They'll both be very good after a few years of learning. This thing about Young's brain power is probably not important (I think 
), because I'm not of the opinion that playing football takes a whole lot of intelligence anyway. Sorry, I'm just not. I'm sure some of them are very smart, but football doesn't demand it (not being a player). Even if VY scored a 6, which I do believe he did the first time, he'll still be a great QB (I think). He just better be, because he's not going to be earning much money anywhere else.

Congrats to him, that's a solid accomplishment, but I'm sorry. The wonerlic isn't exactly the SATs even. CA has this test you have to take so you can get out of HS. From my understanding of both that test and the wonderlic, they are about the same. (2+2)/2, who was our first president, etc. Not really that hard.
