Agree with everything you say. It's absolutely shocking to me to hear these commentators state Vince is now dangerous and they haven't seen anything like it......do they not remember his rookie year in which he led them to the playoffs? Why don't people remember that?
Short term memories I guess.....Vince is a freakin' beast. Spy him if you want,he'll beat ypur spy. Spy him if you want, he'll find an open receiver. The guy isn;t traditional, but he will beat you all night. With growing confidence, this team becomes an AFC powerhouse. Too bad they started 0-6.
Wait till next year.
I'm going a little out to left field with this, but it's something that I've thought about. Also, I'll preface it with the statement that it is probably rated anywhere from "unlikely" to "highly unlikely", but I'll bring it up nonetheless.
I was hardly worried about Terrelle Pryor leaving short of his 4 years of eligibility, but with VY showing some sustained success running this kind of offense, could Pyror's draft status shoot up enough to warrant him leaving after next season?
What Pryor did this November is exactly what Young has been doing since his return to the #1 QB spot. Think about a Pryor that now gets around 40 days to practice before a big Rose Bowl matchup, plus a full Spring and Summer heading into his Junior campaign. I'm still unsure what kind of offense the Buckeyes end up settling with next year, because while they will surely be loaded at RB, they still possess one of college football's biggest weapons and a potentially great WR corp. I'm thinking a lot of runs for the RBs, with some option, read-option, and the perfectly timed pass. The perfect recipe that a potential NFL GM may be looking for if VY shows continued success. Pryor's junior year, while not overwhelmingly great in terms of statistics, may be the perfect job interview for potential employers.
Again, unlikely, but I couldn't help but picture TP doing exactly what VY did tonight.
People hate the comparisions, but they're there, at least to these eyes.
