Colt and Vince are two completely different players. They both can make you stand up and holler when they make a play, but with Vince, it was that he was a freakish athlete with an indomitable WILLand with Colt, it’s a freakish athlete with unbelievable SKILL.

Either one is brilliant and great but if you ask me who I want in the game with 1 minute to go down 7, I would choose Vince every time.

He would have to finish this remarkable junior season and have an outstanding senior campaign before we can truly call him the best UT QB of all time. I think that Colt McCoy is a better “football passer” but when Vince Young lined up at QB, u will agree that every defense he faced, feared him even when he was an unpolished underclassman. And when the game was on the line, they feared him even more. I think what makes or breaks a great player is his or her big game performances and everytime i need to remind myself of who Vince Young really was for UT, i review the 2004 and 2005 Rose Bowls. Im estatic that McCoy is about to etch his name into the record books for the NCAA, but lets watch how our current fearless leader handles big time Bowl Games….and before you argue about last year’s bowl victory….our defense owned that game so Colt didnt really have to do too much of anything.

But Colt vs Young is a silly argument.

If you have to win one college game, no one in their right mind doesn’t take Vince Young in a black box. And it doesn’t matter what Colt does the rest of this year, next year, in the pros, or posthumously in heaven. Vince is the single greatest gameday QB we are likely to ever see. If you think I am exaggerating, go rewatch the two Rose Bowls played in his stadium, because you have forgotten.

Very true that they are two totally different Quarterbacks. I am not saying Colt is better or Vince is better, just wanted to give people something to talk about today. I do however think that Colt leaves the defenses guessing a lot more then Vince did. Vince was a amazing Quarterback and athlete, but he ran the ball way better then he passes. Colt gives you amazing accuracy passing, and is a running threat. Me personally I think that Colt keeps a defense second guessing more then Vince. With Vince though, the defenses could know he was going to run and he would still find a way to bust past them for crazy yards.
What’s great is that UT fans can actually compare two amazing quarterbacks like this. It’s also amazing that UT was lucky enough to have such a great quarterback come in and take Vince’s place behind the center. I don’t think anyone could have done a better job filling Vince Young Shoes the way Colt McCoy has.

…BoddickerlsClutch, I have watched the two Rose Bowl games over and over many of times, because in my 28 years of existence they are the two greatest games of all time, HANDS DOWN!!!

Yes, Vince Young as of today was a better Quarterback then Colt McCoy, but my original post wasn’t about Vince vs. Colt today, it was Vince vs. Colt entire Junior Season.

Colt currently is 5 TD’s away from Vince Young (Junior Season) passing and just 600+ yards passing, while still rushing for over 400 yards with 7 td’s. Colt’s completion percentage is beyond any ever in NCAA history and his passer rating is currently 186.46. These numbers blow Vince Young’s away. Colt McCoy currently has more passing yards, passing TD’s, completion percentage etc then Vince Young. For the rest of our lives, people will forever know Vince Young by two games, the Rose Bowls, yes they were two amazing games, but when you break down a great player you have to base it on more then just two breakout games. Vince Young, was by far the best player in the 2005 season, where as Colt McCoy is the best player in my opinion now and has been a great player for all 3 of his seasons he has played. We Texas fans can hope that just like Vince, Colt will have two BCS bowl games under his belt come Winter of 2010 where we can truly breakdown the comparison’s and see who truly is the best UT quarterback.
It’s all personal opinion, everyone can stack their opinions up against anyone and can break out stat after stat to show comparisons, but in the end all that matters is that Texas wins the 2008 National Championship and once again OU fans can shut up about their 7 National Championships!!!

HOOK’EM Horns!!!

at the Olympics kept pulling crap like this. “Is Phelps the BEST olympian ever?” and then they would try to find reasons why someone was better. He’s an American that did something completely, totally awesome! Celebrate him and his accomplishments.

Who the fuck cares? The argument is so totally subjective that it makes no sense.

We should celebrate the fact that in the last 4 years TEXAS has the best QB around and not try to figure out why one is better than the other.

Hook Em.

ou still sucks

isnt celebrating someones accomplishments part of comparing? Without comparison his 8 medal feet would mean nothing. What made his 8 medals so unique was the fact that he won the most ever, not the fact that he just won 8. Had someone won 9 he/she would be better then Phelps in everyones minds. All sports are about is comparing people and teams to eachother. Without it why watch sports.

see all i wanted to do was stir up some thoughts and get opinions to help people get over the Wednesday struggles… I think i may have helped a few people stop watching the clock for a few minutes and post a response. Mission Accomplished.

Hook’Em Horns!!!
