Oh, to turn 16 again. You get your license, a bit more freedom from mom and dad and Vince Young makes a cameo at your birthday party.
Wait, Vince Young never showed up at your Sweet 16?
Perhaps it was just this young man from Pearland, Texas, who had the former Texas Longhorns standout at his party.
Digital magazine Culture Map reports that the man who failed to live up to the tremendous hype surrounding him in the NFL is making cameos at 16-year-old birthday parties after his football career has pretty much ended.
The 29-year-old stopped by the festivities for Justin Smith, which also featured a video message from Dikembe Mutombo and Houston Texans cheerleaders.
While all of that is completely nuts, I would like to concentrate on the discussion prior to the party. Here is what I like to imagine went down:

Being that Smith is from Texas and the party had a Longhorns theme, we imagine the young man is a huge Texas fan. That means he remembers those years fondly and not the ones that ended with Young getting released by the Bills.
That means little Justin Smith will forever be inclined to think things are far better than they are. Nice for him, but brutal for those hanging with him.
Imagine him at a Sizzler: "Oh, man have you guys tried this steak? It's wonderful, revolutionary, divine."
To Smith, Young will always be that quarterback who could do no wrong on the football field.
Oh, to be 16 again.

For those around that may remember me from 2005-07, I said he would never be worth a crap. It is so obvious, I just don't see how I can see it yet NFL GM's who have 40 years experience can't. I think political correctness and hanging around the "playas" on their own teams start to lower their own IQ's. These kinda guys never workout LONG TERM...The best of RG version 42 is happening this year (under 3,000 passing yards btw), he will regress from this point on. Cousins is better than him. In 1 start, he throws for more yards than RG 42 has in 13 starts. That is not a coincidence.

yards are irrelevant, look at the td:int ratio. anybody can go out and throw for 4000 yards in todays nfl. he has the 2nd best qb rating in the league.

the only reason you are correlating young with griffin 3 is they are both black, which is stupid.

cousins could start someday, but it wont be in washington.

rg3 is the most popular athlete in football and the fact that he is black and worshipped by many whites is why you are upset, that and the fact that you probably dont like him having a white wife.

I always thought Vince would outlast Brady Quinn as an NFL starter
