Anyone who has read any of my writing over the years knows that I was never a believer in Vince Young at the next level. Sure, he was an amazing talent in college, but I just never saw his game translating to the NFL. After being cut from his third NFL team, I think I can safely continue to call him a bust without receiving the same “knee-jerk” accusations I’ve gotten the past five years or so.
