ROY re-hashed!

[SmootSmack]

I loved watching Jones-Drew last year. Someone here, shoot maybe it was Daseal, predicted he'd have a big rookie season. I took note and damn if he wasn't right.

But anyhow, is the intent of this thread for you to remind everyone you think Vince Young is overrated?

While of course I feel Young is overrated, and this thread does seem to have that "theme", my intent is to point out how great Jones-Drew is. I don't know if you would recall, but before he was drafted I said this kid reminds me of Barry Sanders, and I stick to that. I think Jones Drew got skrewed.

Why not just start a thread that read Jones Is a "Fun Player To Watch" then people would have commented only on Jones and not VY. VY is going to be a good QB in this league and if you compare his number to Peyton's first year they are about the same. I'm not saying that he will ever be a Peyton but his numbers for his first year was not that bad and he didi find ways to win games.

Ummm what? I audibly laughed at this one. That might be one of the most absurd comments I have heard.
56.7% comp, 3739 yards, and 26 td's...how exactly do those stats compare to the stats of Young? Did you mean Young's numbers compared to Mannings after Manning played his first 9 games or something?

Well, technically it was my fault for comparing Young to Jones-Drew in the first place...but since Young didn't deserve it, it naturally belongs in this thread.
Still, does it matter? If it was purely about Vince young was overrated, then that would be the name of the thread.

yeah, that was me if we had needed a running back then, we would have been able to get him too. he showed a lot of heart through the combine and his highlight reel.
