I put the 3rd pass-catcher as a WR/TE because that's how offenses were trending.  


So you carved out a spot for Kellen Winslow Jr?

Fun fact about the QB who wasn't chosen:  He went 1-1 vs Saban's Alabama teams who went 26-2 those years without Percy Harvin in either game.

He was a damn fine college quarterback. I'd still pick Vince Young every day of the week and twice on Saturday.

Hmm, I think I'll amend that: I wouldn't pick either of them on Sunday. The Sunday guy for this list would have to be Aaron Rodgers. :-)

It's funny about VY.  Take away that one RB game, and he's just another great QB from the past.  You can pick any 1 game you want and take it away from TT, and he's still TT. 

BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!!  :57:

In fairness I said there was an obvious top 2, and I'd be fine with either one being #1, so I didn't want to make the call.

Was really hoping Jason White would enter the chat at that point

And also, it's those TWO Rose Bowl games

I'm not one to stand up for Longhorns but........ I saw Vince take apart the Blackshirts as a freshman

Vince had a much more impressive freshman season than TT and Vince didn't play a senior season
Vince had a noticeable improvement in passing from Soph to JR season - what might have been as a senior

EDIT: _______________________________

Vince also had to overcome his offensive coordinator - GD Greg Davis

He'd better have, with a 1:1 TD:INT ratio his first 2 years.  For some reason, that gets swept under the rug.

VY's best passing year:  163.9
TT's worst passing year:  164.2

This is fun.

who was the O-coordinator for each?

Greg Davis won the Broyles award in 2005!  (Vince Young)

on December 6, 2010, after the worst season in the Mack Brown era at the University of Texas, Greg Davis resigned as offensive coordinator of the Longhorns. The 2010 season was the first season in 13 years the Longhorns failed to make a bowl game, and the first in nine seasons the Longhorns failed to reach 10 wins on the season.

After a year out of football, Davis was hired by the University of Iowa for the 2012 season. Greg Davis replaced Ken O'Keefe as the offensive coordinator for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2012.
This is hilarious!

Henery attended the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team from 2007 to 2010. For most of his college career, he served as the punter and placekicker for the Cornhuskers, and received all-conference honors at both positions. He was a second-team All-Big 12 selection at placekicker in 2009 and 2010, and was previously an honorable mention selection in 2008; at punter, he was a second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2010, and received honorable mention honors in 2009. On November 28, 2008, he set a Nebraska team record when he kicked a 57-yard field goal [1] in a 40–31 victory over the Colorado Buffaloes. During his four seasons as a Cornhusker, he set an NCAA career record by completing 89.5 percent of his attempted field goals. His total accuracy on combined field goals and extra points also set a new NCAA record of 96.7 percent. He is the all-time leading scorer in Nebraska history with 397 points.
