Vince Young going to Eagles as backup to Vick. Now two first-rounders (top 3) at same spot

Not sure how I feel about this.

Why? He has talent and will be a backup. Maybe they can groom him and ship him off. I'd rather have a young guy with some upside then some veteran journeyman.

At this point Young is a veteran journeyman. But that's all the Eagles need.

I like it. Coming to the birds knowing his role is the backup might get his head back on straight.

I like the athleticism and upside, sure. I don't like the fact he's a bonehead and half-wit. Seems like his feelings get hurt easily. Imagine him after a rough stretch and getting eaten alive by media and the fans....

Or he'll throw the last shred of his career away in an entertaining fashion. Win/win.

I wouldn't necessarily call a guy who's about to join his second team a journeyman.

Wouldn't that make him dead?

Just imagine when it's opening day, and they line him up wide left to confuse the defense. They'll never know what hit them.

If they do that, guaranteed Vick and Young both blow out their knees on that play. Bring in the Kafka era.
