If Texas manages to go to the National Championship game this year, it's both unfortunate and potentially fortunate for Vince Young, since that game will probably determine his draft status.

Carson Palmer did it to Brad Banks. Palmer emerged from that matchup vs. Iowa confirming his status as the #1 pick. Banks went undrafted and was seen as too much athlete rather than QB.

I don't expect Young's status to slip that much. But if he is embarassed in a similar manner like Banks was, he probably won't come out and will have to spend an entire season to rebuild his confidence and draft status. Or else he could go the way of Quincy Carter and Banks.

Of course, I'm assuming Matt Leinart and USC are going to be in that game. Let's go Trojans!!

Wow no Jay Cutler? I am offically on this kids bandwagon after watching him almost upset my Gators last Sat. I scoffed at the begining of the the game when the CBS anoucers compared him the Brett Farve but after the game I do think that for once the CBS anoucers were right. This guy throws the ball with some absolute heat. He is big (6-4 228lbs) and is very athletic (has almost 1500 career rushing yards) and on top of that he makes everyone better around him. Honestly whoever gets this kid will get the steal of the draft. If he went anywhere other than Vandy he would be right next to Lienart and Young. Another noticible exclusion is Darrell Hackney, this guy looks like a Bryon Leftwitch clone.

I don't think anyone can argue with those top 3 prospects, although I think Bush should be #1. A.J. Hawk seems low. Where is the source of this list?

Should I tell him?
