NEW YORK -- Vince Young looks as if he'll make the NFL his personal playground, too.

The dynamic quarterback for the Tennessee Titans won The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year Award on Wednesday. He did it in the same fashion he turned around the Titans' season -- running away from the rest of the field.

Young, who led Texas to the 2005 national championship and was the third overall pick in last April's draft, overwhelmed one of the strongest rookie classes in NFL history. He received 23 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league.

That easily beat New Orleans wide receiver Marques Colston and Jacksonville running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who had nine apiece; San Diego tackle Marcus McNeill (6); and Saints running back Reggie Bush (3).

Running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams of Tampa Bay won the award last year. Young is the third member of the Tennessee-Houston franchise to take top rookie honors: Earl Campbell in 1978 and Eddie George in 1996 did it for the Houston Oilers.

I honestly think that if Colston would have not missed those few games that he would have won this honor.

VY is the only one whose presence can turn a losing team into a victory machine, even when he has a bad day.

The award was probably well-deserved, but I still find him to be overrated.

The media is comparing him to the Messiah. I think Jesus Christ could complete well over half his passes. Has he been good? Yes. Has he been ungodly? No. Right now, he is beating teams with his legs. Eventually, he needs to develop his passing game in order to take his team to the next level. Michael Vick had a very comparable rookie season, and most people consider him to be the most overrated player in the NFL, fair or not.
