unifiedtheory said:There is a thread in VIP about this very topic so I'll just paste what I wrote there:
The Miami media is buying into the Young hype machine now.
A question for everyone who is jumping up and down because the article tells us we are drafting Vince Young. Do you honestly believe after months of showing the ultimate poker face, Saban is going to tell the world who he is drafting and be honest about it?
I'm willing to bet anything that reporters took what Nick may have said in a general interview and fit it around a story that would get them a read.
Saban is playing the same old game. He's letting things slip that he wants to let slip. If Young is there for us at #16 he wants teams below us to think we'll pick him so he can fleece draft picks from someone.
Boomer mentioned it in another thread and I agree. Vince Young would be a luxery pick for the Miami Dolphins right now. We are not ready to make luxery picks. We have too many needs to pick a QB/WR hybrid in the first round. Besides, Young would'nt be BPA when we pick anyway. Hell, if he was there for us in the third I would'nt take him....just my opinion.
I promised myself to quit reading these threads, much less responding, but cant help myself.
I agree with your assesment re: Saban not showing his cards, but I have to believe you did not have a chance to watch many UT games when you claim Vince is a one read and run guy, that simply is not the case. If anything, there were games that I was screaming at him to go bc he was NOT running. VY is NOT a qb/wr hybrid. He will be drafted high in this draft as a QB. Will he have a successful career? I think so, and really hope so because, again if you had the opportunity to watch his career, he is a high quality guy.
He wont be around at 16 and if he was I would certainly hope we would draft him. Would Saban move up to pick him? My gut says no.
