What if Brady's shoe was on Vince Young's foot?

What if Brady's shoe was on Vince Young's foot? You have two high-profile quarterbacks go down with knee injuries on the opening Sunday of the NFL season. One, a Super Bowl winning quarterback. The other, a college national championship winning quarterback. Yet since Tom Brady went down with a knee injury, all we've heard about is how his absence will cost the Patriots a chance at the Super Bowl and how he's one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Meanwhile, we've barely heard anything on Vince Young's injury, other than he's out 2-4 weeks. Yes, Young is on a smaller market team, he hasn't done much since coming into the league and Brady's injury appears to be far more serious. But I ask you this ? what if Young's injury put him out for the season, and Brady's was only a 2-4 week shelving? I think the reactions would be THE EXACT SAME! We'd still be hearing about what Brady's loss would mean to the Patriots, and we'd barely hear anything about Kerry Collins taking over for Young. Is the media treating this with a racial bias? Is anyone surprised?
