Vince Young Texas Career

One of the greatest college football quarterbacks of all-time and this guy didn’t even win the heisman. The Rose Bowl king, and the only player to single handedly dominate one of the best college teams of all-time (USC 2005).

[@RalixBlaster7]

He went to the pros in an era where you didn’t design the offense around the qbs strengths. Imagine if Vick and VY were running these rpo heavy offenses.

[@bigplaystanly]

Yup. Very true

[@ScottieDrippen]

They would have god level stats if they were in todays NFL. Imagine Vick with Kliff Kingsbury. Imagine a young VY with Andy Reid. Sheesh

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

I think you’re confused by what a run pass option is. It has nothing to do with a QB running the ball.

[@RalixBlaster7]

@@MrRyan-wu4jx it does in the college game since lineman can go three yards down field. Also the rpo was modded for the pro game so non mobile qbs could use them. Rpos have qb run elements if the qb running the offense is mobile. Rpos became popular in the NFL when chip Kelly was using them with Nick foles.

[@rebboy17]

Yes Vince def had his shortcomings has a QB from a reading defenses perspective. But Jeff fisher NEVER made an offense that fit him always tryna make him fit the offense. Which great coaches are supposed to do when evaluating they’re roster

[@kamfisher1714]

@@CS-np2ooReggie was better

[@jshooper7819]

Vince was ahead of his time. If you watch his game today with modern eyes you see elements of Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson. Those guy's talents and capabilities are highlighted and appreciated by their teams. They are built in to the systems in which they play. When Vince entered the NFL they were extremely resistant to his style of play. Norm Chow and Jeff Fisher didn't want him. They wanted Leinart. They never really created an offense that featured his skills. They did the same things that Mack Brown was doing to frustrate Vince early in his college career. It's remarkable that VY was still able to win Rookie of the Year and make it to 2x Pro Bowls in his career considering how much he was handcuffed and restricted. If he had gone to a team with a more innovative forward thinking and compassionate coach...he could have thrived and been an all time great. Imagine Vince with Andy Reid.

[@Dawg-Bone]

VY with Reid is better than Mahomes with Reid.

[@davidramirez6644]

A little of this is true but he also didnt take the game serious enough as he should have. Im a huge VY fan but he couldve been great if he had studied like most of the greats did.

I was working at The University of Texas when Vince Young came to the school. I was a big supporter and not everybody felt that way. In fact they said he was too skinny or he didnt have it to compete. I wrote one of those so called sports writers and said that Vince was going to show how to really play football and I feel that Coach Brown felt the same way. Vince Young proved it.

Should have had a better NFL career, dominant in college. But not being use to criticism and having a coach that was trying to change his way or play instead of building around him derailed it. If he was coming out now every team would want him and from the start build around him

[@michaelhammond7115]

Great great college player, unbelievable that he did not win Heisman. Even though he didn't start his freshman year, it's hard to believe he was 1-2 vs OU. Really showed that he could not read defenses or learn extensive playbooks in the pro's. Made my Granddad really proud to be a Longhorns fan and probably extended Mack Brown's career at Texas by 6 years.

[@Itsjusjosh]

i know him and his sister

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

What playbook and read defenses? The receivers were trash and dropped alot. Fisher was intentionally trying to make Young fail. If it was not for Young going away from Fishers game plan in the fourth quarters and doing what Vince Young does. He would not have won most of the time. For a young qb to win by his own play against the coach who was trying to make him lose to get him benched. That's outstanding, in fact freakishly amazing.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

Also 1-1 vs ou when playing. But his sophmore year, they changed the play calling 2 weeks after they played OU. That was when Young became Young and never lost a college game against and dominated the rest of season. Then dominated Young's junior year.

Even crazier when you realize that Young has the best winning percentage for a qb that Fisher ever coached despite Young being the one qb Fisher intentionally was trying to get to lose so that the owner will not get mad at Fisher for benching him. So much for Young can't hang with another team.

[@duanebrown3360]

honestly if they could give the Heisman that they took from Reggie bush to Vince young by default,he had a great college career, but I agree if they had the rpo he wouldve had a great pro career,but NFL teams at the time didn't play to athletic qb's strengths back then,you can see that with cam at Carolina,they tried to change what got them to the league in the first place

I couldn‘t believe my eyes at the time, and when I watch highlights now, I still can‘t believe it. So many times I thought ‘well, they've got him bottled up/stopped‘ and he just glides through/between tacklers! ... not juking/knocking over (though could do that too) like a RB... just stepping through a gap and... gone. And the sidearm, 3/4 delivery? Not textbook form, but the results were beautiful. (So who cares?!!) Jeff Fisher’s a total jackass for trying to make VY fit his ‘system’. If he‘d had sense enough to recognize a phenomenal talent, and build a team/scheme around that, VY could have had a long, incredibly successful career in the NFL. I am sooo glad Sarkisian seems to ‘get it‘... don‘t leave incredible talent sitting on the bench! Find a way to get ‘em in the game! Hook ‘Em! 🤘
