Young is a head caseSwede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

I never thought he was a legit NFL QB. Entertained us all in college, but lots of guys have.Originally posted by PartialThat's unfair. He has way more raw talent.Originally posted by Scott CampbellIn terms of being the second coming, he's a poor mans Joey Harrington.Lombardi told Starr to "Run it, and let's get the hell out of here!" - 'Ice Bowl' December 31, 1967

His arm just isn't good enough. He has athleticism, but his shotput delivery is too slow and he just isn't accurate enough. NFL defenses quickly realized how one dimensional he is. Great college QB though."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

Get back to me when he can finally read a defense. Perhaps they are wasting his skill set by trying in vain to make him a starting QB. He might be better served (and the team for that matter) by making him a slash type player, running some wildcat-type formations, like Vick will run with Philly, especially if Patrick Ramsey beats him out for the backup job."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Barring a miracle, he's just not going to make it in the NFL as a QB, but very few people do. You just don't become an elite NFL player at QB through athleticism alone. Just another top 5 bust... but then again, most drafted players don't work out in the NFL regardless of position or draft position.</delurk>

First Partial has been giving Rodgers props for the better part of a week, and now he sort of questions VY.

Yes. And, No.Originally posted by Scott CampbellWould you trade him straight up for Brian Brohm? Matt Flynn?
Brohm is nothing so far as a 3rd string, so the only way to go is up. Brohm may turn out to be great, but right now, Young would be an improvement.
Flynn has shown he can play. He can read defenses and probably he has upside in the pro game, something Young's critics are feeding off of, since they will tell us he doesn't have it. So, despite Vince being a #3 pick and Matt being a 7th rounder, if I am TT, I keep Flynn at face value.
