VINCE YOUNG On hi def?

Just had to mention hi def to legitimize a football post here. I follow the NFL so i have a question: Is this what I've been missing by not watching college football or was this the greatest single effort by a quarterback in the history of the game? Or both? Help me out here, guys. I've never seen anything like this kid before.

And yeah, now I really do want to get a hi def tv for the games.

What a quarterback!

Amazing performance, to be sure.

Whether his style will fit in with the NFL is another question, since NFL defenses are considerably tougher, faster, and meaner than what Young has faced in college.

I agree, one of the most exciting games I've seen in years...

As much as Vince Young took the game on his shoulders, he was facing a USC defense which was far from the best in Division 1 footbal...

in terms of him in the NFL, I agree with Tvad, while the USC offence has 6-7 NFL ready players, their defense have maybe 1 NFL 1st round pick, in the NFL, you face 11 First round NCAA players.

No to mention, the NFL generally prefers quarterbacks who step up into the pocket versus take off running. NFL QBs lose value with broken limbs, ribs, and collarbones.

No disprespect to Vince Young.

Young had a phenomenal game yesterday.

That being said, I share Tvad's concerns. NFL backs will not miss tackles the way that USC did.

Still, Young earned himself a high draft pick last night, and if he can keep it up I will enjoy watching him play pro.
