Moon should blame Young, not racism

When I read Warren Moon's allegations of racism toward Cam Newton, I had mixed emotions. On one hand I do feel that Cam Newton is being unfairly critisized, but not because of race. It's because of Vince Young, and Young just happens to be black. It's human nature to draw on past experiences when judging anything or any one, and Cam Newton looks and sounds exactly like Young did a few years ago. The similarites do not stop there. Young, like Newton, came out of nowhere in 2005 to lead the Texas Longhorns to an undefeated season and national championship. Young was the centerpiece of a high powered spread offense, shattering records on his way to becoming the Davey O'Brian Award winner and heisman trophy runner up. Young was an electrifying runner with a cannon for an arm and a million dollar smile. Young was drafted number three to the Tennessee Titans and quickly flamed out. Young's on and off field behavior showed an imature young man that was given way to much to soon. For all of Young's talent and charisma, he could never lead his team in the playoffs. When I personally look at Cam Newton, I see Vince Young reincarnated. As I Titans fan that traslates to red flags and alarms going off in my head. Whether the critisim is Vince Young based or racially based it's still unfortunate. Hopefully Cam Newton will land in the right situation and blossom into a franchise quarterback and face of the nfl. If nothing else, he has the smile.
