[QUOTE="mattresell, post: 61517, member: 121"] I didn't even want to open this thread because it seems ridiculous and speculatory that we would take Vince Young given that we already have something invested in Rodgers. I also cringe at the idea of selecting VY with our pick. With that said, I read the 5 pages of posts and felt the need to respond. Most of you have the right idea. We likely will not and should not draft VY. None of us here are pro scouts, including myself, yet I think I might have the best look at VY than all of us. I live 20 miles south of Austin - aka VY country. I've watched 8-9 UT games each of the past 2 years and saw Vince play at Madison High twice. I would be willing to bet my share of Packer stock that he will NOT be a good pro quarterback. He's compared to Mike Vick quite frequently. The fact is that he is not as fast as Vick, not as athletic, and does not have as strong of an arm as Vick. He will NOT be as good as Mike Vick, and I happen to think that Vick isn't that great anyways. His deep ball is terrible. Very seldom have I seen him complete a pass of longer than 12 yards without the reciever being wide open. I don't believe he can zip the out routes in the NFL. Haven't really seen him do it even in college. He was a great college QB, but alot of what you saw was very much tied too the talent level around him, mainly his offensive line. He was put in an offense perfect for him, but it also made him look better than he actually is. This is coming from a guy who's seen him play 2 dozen times - for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
