Apparently twitter is going crazy over this poll.

ESPN personality Bomani Jones is leading the outrage. https://mobile.twitter.com/bomani_jones
At first glance the choice seems ludacris, but if you compare Vince Young's redshirt sophomore stats (his 3rd year in college) with Josh's true junior stats (his 3rd year in college), they are eerily close. Vince Young Stats | College Football at Sports-Reference.com
And before KBVol comes in here to argue that we should really be looking at Vince's redshirt junior stats in comparison to Josh's true junior stats. Just remember, before entering his true senior season, Josh will have played only 24 games at Tennessee. Before his redshirt junior year, Vince played in 22 games. Thus, Vince and Josh had essentially the same playing experience before their final seasons in college.
Vince (2004) vs Dobbs (2015)
2899 vs 3020 Total Yards
59.2% vs 59.6%
26 vs 27 Total TDs
11 vs 5 ints
128.4 vs 127.0 Rating
Then consider the statistical leaps Vince made in his final year at Texas. Over 4,000 total yards. 65% completion percentage. 38 total TDs.
I think Josh makes a similar statistical leap in his final year at Tennessee. Plus he wins a national title like Vince.
