I have thought long and hard about this and the reality is far more complicated then maybe I making an argument for here but in revisiting the 2006 Draft, was Vince Young the best pick drafted by the team that needed him the most. I knoe some of you guys are going to say Reggie Bush is that guy and you would have a point. but in the context on immediate impact Vince Young made the biggest impact in his rookie season, the titans were looking bad before him and now their thinking they have their main impact player in Vince Young? Befroe he arrived in Tennessee, the Titans were going nowhere and their coach Jeff fisher was on the hot seat, now he thinks he can win again all becuase of one guy.
Meanwhile in New Orleans Bush has an auspicous start to his NFL career, he wins games but looks mediocre as a result in some of them. I think Bush went to the right team, it just took him more time to learn the NFL game and he is learning I think. I think this upcoming season will be huge indicator of where both mens careers go, Young will probably make a bad team look good and Bush will have a HOF career I think. He is playing on a offensive juggernaut and is only a piece of the puzzle here, but the ongoing Young/Bush debate will go on for many more years to come I think. It started in the Rose Bowl and now its contiuning in the NFL. One game has a way of starting feuds and rivalries in both the NBA and the NFL, Bird and Magic's rivalry started in 1979 in college and it lasted for the next 15 years in the NBA and along the way they changed their game. Now Young and Bush have started unwittingly maybe a rivelry that lasts a bit longer and maybe changes the NFL fortunes in the next 10 years. |
