More than Average

Since the five Bills I won on the University of Texas National Championship game win, I have been hearing the unthinkable – that Vince Young is Average, or better yet, will make an average pro, if that. He is 6 feet 6 inches tall and about 250. He has the speed approaching a Marcus Vicks, and makes the throws of a Warren Moon and Joe Gilliam Hybrid. Like Warren, he has accuracy and arm strength and like Joe, he makes what ever throw – even if it is ugly, to advance up the field and get the completion. He won the Maxwell Award (nation's top player) and was voted the Cingular/ABC Sports Player of the Year.

As a starter, Young was 30‑2 and set Texas career records in total offense (9,167 yards), rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (37) and touchdowns (81). He also won the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's best quarterback and the Maxwell Award for the top college football player.

This season, Young became the only player in NCAA history to pass for 3,000 yards (3,036) and rush for 1,000 (1,050) in one season. His 4,086 total yards set a school single‑season record.
He won the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's best quarterback and in the Rose Bowl game against USC, he had 200 yards rushing and 267 passing and three touchdowns

Add to the mix that he was Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2005 and is 29‑2 as a starter. In High school, he started for three years and collected 7,624 yards from scrimmage, I’m thinking I should be a pro scout. Now I’m not suggesting statistics make the player, but I do know that winning is the bottom line and that Vince Young is a winner – and he big too. So what’s my point? Well throwing a football doesn’t have to look pretty. The spiral doesn’t have to be perfect nor the arm motion just right. The real is that Vince Young makes all the throws, including ones not taught and/or viewed as classic quarterback pitches - which make him more than just average.
