I hope everyone likes the Vince Young song. There are so many reasons why I want him to play football for the Texans and the fact that he is a Longhorn has little to do with it. Vince Young is Houston. I have been hearing about this kid since he was a sophomore at Madison. I have been cheering him on for so long it is like he is a part of the fabric of the sports community. Part of the reason I want him to stay home is because I am sickened by the thought of him going to Tennessee or New Orleans because where Vince goes, my loyalty follows and I don't want to buy a bumnch of Titans or Saints crap.
Bob...do the right thing. Pick Vince young.

Hell yeah, I am a longhorn fan and a fan of Vince Young, if you can't tell from my space.  It would be awesome to see Vince come home and play for houston.  I know that Houston would benefit from him coming here and it would make us Houstonians PROUD.

Wow.  You'd rather have Vince than Carr as a QB?  People are so down on Carr, because "he doesn't win."  Well, he can't win with 2 seconds to throw the ball, or get on his ass.  As special of a talent as Vince Young is, I think it's going to be hard for him in the pro game.  He has the athletic ability to run in college, but in the pros, even D-linemen can run a 4.6.  Add that to the fact he's not going to be running out of the gun 80% of the time like in college.  He's going to have a harder time reading coverages and blitzes.

I don't think Bush is the answer either, but with losing Gafney, I think putting Bush in as a slot reciever, kick returner, and overall do-it-all playmaker is going to help a lot more than a QB who's got an akward throwing motion and an, at best, average arm.

I love Vince Young for bringing a National Championship home to Texas.  If he stayed in college another year, I think that the road to stardom in the NFL would be easier and more probable.  I hope I'm wrong, but I see him as a career back-up QB who can get the win when needed during an injury, but not for the long term.

Well thought out response and I appreciate that. I am just not confident in David. Domanick Davis was incredibly effective behind that same sorry line...and they knew damned well he would be running. I hope the best for David and concede that VY won't be in Houston but the Texans have not proven that they can effectively draft and trade. I am suspicious of anything they do. I guess I would be more excited about the future with VY back there than with David.

thanks!

I'm sorry, but I gotta LOL at Drake.  Yep.  It' won't be VY out of the shotgun 80% of the time, and he'll be a career backup.  LOLOLOL

Carr would be a lot better if he had a freekin O-line. 

And it ain't so bad that VY went to Tennessee.  I'm just glad I don't have to cheer for some damn yankee team!!
