That was obvious long ago.  This is something like Exhibit #456 in that mountain of evidence... but what an exhibit it was.

Oh, let's be fair.  #1 pick Mario Williams had 2 tackles and no sacks in this game.  Play.  Maker.  Game.  Changer.

He may turn in to one of the best DEs of all time; it was STILL a stupid fucking use of the #1 pick.

Arguably the dumbest thing they could've done with the #1 pick was not pick Vince.  2nd and 3rd dumbest things would've been not to pick Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart.  Congrats to the Texans on a trifecta of idiocy.

Add to that giving David "Short Pass Specialist" Carr an extension.

Holy shit that's hilarious in a thread about Vince Young.

I don't.  He overthrew numerous receivers, threw a couple he shouldn't have (including the INT), and missed a sure touchdown on the opening drive when he threw a terrible pass (that should have been caught anyway, but was still a terrible pass).  He throws the little 10-15 yard dump passes OK, but other than that, I think he struggles with accuracy and timing.  He may get better, but overall I think that will be his achilles heel in the NFL.

After having watched David Carr for 5 years, these seem to be bombs.

Well, if you think David Carr is the standard for quarterback success in the NFL, I can understand why you're so high on VY.
