People say this same stuff about every QB each year in college who steps his game up. How many actualy turn out to be "very good" when they reach the NFL?endorPHINS72 said:

Vince Young is a great college QB who has a lot of potential as an NFL QB, but he cannot come in and start day one.
Brady Quinn is running a pro offense at Notre Dame under one of the best offensive coordinators in the NFL for the last few years. Notre Dame plays top college competition every year. Even in Notre Dame's one loss, Quinn played extremely well.
I don't know how much more NFL ready a QB could be than Quinn in 2007

I guess I'm the only one who's not impressed with Vince Young at all. Kid can run, but as a QB he's mediocre.
speed and athletecism in the pro's is exponentially better than college regardless of who your coach is or what offense it is you are running. Being able to adapt to that is not known until you are there. A 15 yard out in college isn't the same 15 yard out throw in the NFL.endorPHINS72 said:

You make an excellent point. The draft is a crap shoot. Every year we hear about the next great NFL QB.
That being said, there will be very good QBs drafted in the future. You can't always base the future on what happened in the past.
Quinn is playing in a pro offense under one of the best offensive minds in football at Notre Dame. Does that help his stats? Of course. But one thing will be for sure -- I don't think there will be a more NFL ready QB than Brady Quinn when he comes out in 2007.

I agree. I see Young as a poor man's Michael Vick.

Marcus Vick is supposedly a better passer than his brother....
But I dont claim to be a talent evaluater. I just heard some people say he is better than Micheal.

If Marcus Vick had as much ability as Michael Vick, than I would take him in the top 5. Michael Vick gets criticism for not being the best passer in the league, but all he does is win, without Vick Atlanta does not matter, with him they're one of the best teams in the NFC. I would take Michael Vick over most Qb's in the NFL, so if there is another version of him available, who is just as good I would take that player in a second, but I don't think there is.

young is a HUGE project at QB, are you kidding me? i guess he could make an instant impact if you put him at receiver, where he belongs. no QB will make an immediate impact in this draft, although leinart has the best shotkastofsna120

I think Saban may try to get a QB from the SEC. He's shown that he has a lot of respect for the players he coached and play against in that division. Guys like Ronnie, Crowder, Heath Evans, Lo Diamond, Travis Daniels, Donnie Jones. Heck even Fred Gibson on the practice squad. The list goes on. With that said, I think Saban may try to get Brody Croyle from Alabama . If he's available, I wouldn't be surprised with the pick. Saban coached against him, and he knows what kind of player he'd be getting. If not him, maybe Chris Leak.
