I think I have a much better chance of enjoying my trip to Austin next September if VY goes pro.

I hope he doesn't win the NC and a Heisman, then come back for a ballroom dancing course to finish his college credits off. I mean, that's already been done. :biggrin:

But I do want him to win the Heisman this year.

Vince Young is Going to the NFL

Young says he's not thinking about declaring for draft

AUSTIN - Heisman Trophy hopeful Vince Young says he intends to return for his senior year at Texas. Young, a fourth-year junior from Madison, is eligible to declare for the NFL draft after this season. He made his strongest comments on the subject Monday, saying he plans to be with the Longhorns in 2006.
"Basically I'm coming back," Young said. "You've got to leave (turning pro) open, but it's not something I'm thinking about right now."
Longhorns players typically do not leave early for the NFL. Ricky Williams, Chris Simms, Roy Williams, Cedric Benson and Derrick Johnson are among the notables who returned for their final seasons under coach Mack Brown.
Young, along with USC's Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart (last year's winner), are considered the front-runners for the Heisman. The award will be presented on Dec. 10.
"The fans ask me all the time," if I'm coming back, Young said. "Actually, they tell me to come back. It's always in the back of your mind."

everything changes after you win a National Championship.

and if he beats lienart then he will realize man, he stayed another year and look what happend to him, i sure dont want to end like that...but if they lose the RB, than his chances will be greater of coming back....

question, is he like a matt jones????will he be a qb in NFL?

i think that it's an unwise move, considering the risk of injury that another football season offers. while leinart's choice to stay has likely paid dividends, he has taken a great risk as well. leinart's decision to stay also had more to do with just having a very good time, as well as recognizing that last year's quarterback market was stronger and, therefore, more competitive. young's decision to stay would probably have more to do with earning a national championship. if texas makes it to the national championship game and beats usc, i'd feel confident saying that young will probably move on. if texas loses to usc, then it may be a 50/50 situation.

if leinart had entered the nfl draft last year, i don't think that young would even be considering it. being the primo quarterback any given year is good for at least few extra million. does young want to battle leinart for that spot? does he care? does it really matter? of course, it is his decision to make and only his decision to make, but i think that it is a foolish one. a quarterback runs too great a risk of injury before banking, especially when his currency is so strong.

i feel most confident that young's declaration was just a ploy to rally the longhorn nation. he should have waited to make that statement until after the final regular season game.

he may not win the heisman, but does vince young want to pull a matt leinart or a jason white?

honestly, what do you expect him to say while texas is in the middle of a NC run and he is slowly climbing the ranks of the heisman finalists?

if he is projected in the top 10 of the draft, he'll probably go. it's not like usc where the entire squad is coming back. texas loses quite a bit in the offseason, including their stellar OL, which wont make VY's life easier.
