[Husker] Vince Young or Tommy Frasier?

[Martin, Douglas]

Please also give due credit to the Texas offensive line.  They played a lights out game last night against what was previously reported to be an underrated USC defensive front.  My impression of Young is that he looks great if he is allowed to "get going".  I don't think I saw this year even once when a good hit was laid on him in the backfield.  Typically, the speed of NFL defensive ends and linebacker schemes negates a great deal of what is perceived as collegiate running quarterback talent or "elusiveness".  Vick is the exception to the rule.  This is why Frazier, Crouch, Kordell Stewart, etc. did not pan out in the pros too well.  It is like comparing apples to oranges.

Mike Vick was the best dual threat QB in college I have watched in quite some time, and I don't thing Vince Young is as good as Vick was at VTech. I know it's difficult to compare players, but Vick often struggles in the NFL as a dual threat qb, who's to say Young wont do the same? He will need to end up on a team that maximizes his strengths, rather than focusing solely on trying to improve his weaknesses. I think Young is way over-hyped, mainly because he had a great game against the "best college team of all time". As college QBs, I think Frazier was pretty close, if not equal to Young this season- maybe not in stats, but talent, heart and production, definitely. That said, Young would be VERY difficult to stop at the collegiate level if he came back next year.

Maybe it sounds like treason on this list to ask the question but which one
is/was best? Maybe Vince Young would have to come back another year to get a
better comparison but lots of folk think he is ready for the NFL now and I
can't argue against that point.
