bitonti Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 there are two very good reasons why the Jets do this - #1 smokescreen #2 research if VY goes to another team in the conference or division anything the team learns will be good information for the future.

I agree and there's one thing about the lack of Youngs Brain Power that reminds me of what was said about Terry Bradshaw in the early 70's.. They said Bradshaw couldn't spell Cat if you spotted him the C and A. Dumb or not he played some dam good football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Bradshaw couldn't spell Cat if you spotted him the C and A. Dumb or not he played some dam good football! Teh Bradshaw comment is not totally on par. Bradshaw played at Louisiania Tech, which as I understand it, was a pro set offense which required Bradshaw under center and getting a read on defenses and looking at coverages. Bradshaw was possibly "dumb" as a student, but certainly not as a football player. Young's offense did not have under center as much, and he was as I saw it, less reading defenses and more improvising. Maybe i am wrong in that impression. Whether Young has football "smarts" I think is still open for debate. but I believe Bradshaw to be certainly more seasoned thatn Young is in adapting to teh pro game and the nuances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am wrong, but I think Bradshaws prep was more entering the pro league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeniorFlaJet Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I hope they send a limo to pick him up at the airport for the trip to Hofstra. If he has to drive by himself he may not be seen for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You also bring Young in because if you trade down to 17 and he is still on the board, you need to know the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
