Striking while the iron's hot

University of Texas quarterback and Rose Bowl hero Vince Young announced yesterday he is skipping his senior year and entering the NFL draft. Good move by him financially because of two reasons. First, his stock couldn't be higher after his Rose Bowl performance. Second, because going back to school another year will just prove this guy can't throw the football. As I said the day after the Rose Bowl, he didn't complete a pass of more than 15 yards. He also doesn't lead his receivers well which means they can't do anything but get hit once they catch it. He is inevitably going to be compared to Michael Vick, but Vick has a strong enough arm to keep defenses honest, which is why he runs so effectively. Young will go in the top three and be out of the league in 5 years.
