Draft Vince Young
Basking in the glow of the University of Texas' incredible national championship victory last night, rampant speculation has begun regarding the future of Vincent Young, UT's phenom-quarterback, a Houstonian and Madison High School graduate, who was head and shoulders the best player on the field last night.
Young, who prior to last night's victory insisted he would return to Austin for his senior season, fueled the speculation by waffling a bit on the go-pro question during postgame interviews, saying he will sit down with his family and coaches before making a decision by January 15th.
Like many Texas alumns, Houtopia selfishly hopes Mr. Young will stay in Austin for his senior year. He would be the clear leader in the Heisman Trophy race (an award everyone outside of Texas is now realizing Young should have won this year), and the team would certainly be a strong favorite to repeat as national champions.
However, should Vince Young decide to enter the NFL draft, we would understand. If he does, the Houston Texans must select him with the number one pick.
Due respect to USC star and Heisman winner Reggie Bush, Young is simply better. And due respect to David Carr, who can still become a success in the NFL, if Young is available, it's time to go in a new direction.
Vince Young was simply amazing last night, and if he's in the NFL draft, the Texans just can't afford to pass him up.
