I forget the exact timeline, but watching Michael Vick get a full redemption timeline, including playing in Atlanta for a coach that found ways to scheme to his strengths, just made me more and more sad for VY and fucking furious at Jeff Fisher. That should have been Vince. And yes, 100%, that should have been Vince in Houston, where he would have become as synonymous with a franchise as Namath is to the Jets or Montana is to the 49ers. (I'm not saying Vince would have been Montana ... I'm saying he would have been a god in that city).

I’d buy him anything he wants at The Cheesecake Factory.

Then afterwards you can take him back to your place and replay Keith Jackson's final call. 

"Vince Young Scores!"

Vince was so loose. Remember him getting the team ready before an OU game. He relieved the tension.

I very fondly remember the below prior to the championship game against the greatest college football team since the fall of Rome.

As I recall, Vince got a huge kick out of those gloves to the point where he was delaying the photos. He was just having fun. I think Leinart may have been particularly annoyed. 

I just love this photo.

Pick the two Heisman winners. Next pick the best college football player of all time.

Vince is the only Texas player in my memory whom I would likely choose over Earl if picking a team. I love Earl Campbell as a player, a man, and a Longhorn.

The sad truth is that Bijan averaged 19.4 touches per game (rushing + receiving + a single kick return).  What a criminally underused player.

Falcons should send us a thank you note.

I grew up hating the Rose Bowl because it was the “Grandaddy of the bowls” and we couldn’t participate because of conference tie-ins.  Vince saving his best two games for that place ranks, let’s see here, pretty high in my book.😂

Fastest I've ever seen THE dude run.......

50 yd TD scamper from midfield to left pylon vs Nebraska......

30yds right up the centers ass so fast the safeties couldn't pinch together to stop him vs Mizzou.....

*smoothest* runs were Michigan, literally looked like a gliding deer while everyone else was playing in sand, acting confused.

 

But nothing showed the same burst as the titans OT win vs houston..... You wanna see what holding the X button to sprint looks like IRL.....

That's the only time I ever felt like I was watching him run as fast as he possibly could. The rest of the time, he just glided, and still pulled away from the fastest defenders.  Fuck the Texans. They chose their path. Let that franchise suffer eternally.

^Announcer : "I like this. Put him in the shotgun and let him throw. If it's not there, let him run it".

An NFL play by play guy (recognize his voice but can't remember his name. Maybe Don Criqui?) could prophetically understand the obvious advantage VY gave his offense when he was in the shotgun. What's amazing is that NFL coaches couldn't understand it. Even after that play they still forced VY under center the vast majority of the time. 

Two of the biggest mistakes in NFL history:

- Texans passing on VY 

- Fuckface forcing him into a conventional offense.

ETA: Oh yeah, it was Criqui. The color commentator got it right: "Don Criqui knows the offense better than anyone".

I had the pleasure of trolling Texans fans for 2 seasons as a Bartender in the club level for a couple of seasons because of their decision to draft Mario fucking Williams over VY. 

This play was like a public one man bukakke with Reliant as the recipient. 

 

For a minute there it looked like Fishbait appeared pissed that Vince scored to win the game.

If only Houston would’ve drafted him

I don’t know why people always say this. He would’ve sold a ton of jerseys and been the quarterback for a terrible team. He wasn’t saving them from anything

It was an absolutely incredible feeling in 2005. There literally was no doubt that with Vincent Paul Young Jr. on the field that we would win. Even down vs. OSU. Even down vs OK state. Kansas. And fucking USC. There was no doubt. 

If he made me feel that way, imagine how his own fucking teammates felt playing with him. He was and is the best player I've ever seen.

VY running the ball was like “greased lightning”! He was so smooth, that it seemed like he would make the corner to the outside, DB thought he had an angle, then VY was gone - untouched!!!!

Hook’em!!!

One game?

Fuck that.

How about every game?

I think they mean more like if you had one play to win a national championship with, would you rather give the ball to a heisman trophy winner or VY?

Reality chose VY.
