Vince Young in Silver and Black? Could Happen.

Is it possible? Could Vince Young be in a Raiders uniform come next season? Word is that if Al gets his way Young would be more than welcome to try on a Raiders jersey, with a low scoring wonderlick test and all. If for nothing else Vince might want to see if the colors Black and Silver suit his playing persona.

The world I got was that Vince Young did interview with the Raiders personnel at the Combine this weekend, Al was not there. The Raiders were the first to interview him. Going into the draft at pick no. 7 in the first round makes our chances a possiblity. And I think we need a Vince Young, don't you?

Below is are excerpts from an article in the Chronicle about the Raiders and Vince Young. click on link for full story:

Raiders must decide about Collins in a hurry
Nancy Gay

If Collins gets the expected hook, the Raiders probably will be on
the lookout for a so-called "transitional" quarterback -- a free agent such
as Daunte Culpepper, Steve McNair or somebody comparable -- to run the
show until second-year quarterback Andrew Walter is ready to handle the
load.

But there is this development to consider:
Two teams got a jump on Texas quarterback Vince Young on Thursday night, the first opportunity anyone had to get an interview with the playmaking star of the Longhorns' national championship team. One of them was the Raiders.

With the seventh overall pick, the Raiders have a decent crack at Young, a phenomenal talent, great team leader and physical specimen with a quirky sidearm throwing motion and a very inflated opinion of himself.

So for the Raiders, Young is a possibility. Could he adjust his run-first playing style to fit the Raiders' preferred vertical game? "You have to. You never know what might happen," Young said during a 20-minute media session on Friday. Then he reversed field. "(But) the coach might change it around to revolve around the quarterback." Well, maybe. And could he see himself playing for Davis? "It doesn't matter who I play for. I have great character and respect coaches a whole lot," said Young, who apparently does not really know who Davis is at this point. "They've been through it more than I've been through it, so you have to respect what they say is going on." Whether Young is a little confused or not, back in his scouting bunker in Alameda, Davis had to like the sound of that.
