vince is fast, bush is faster, leinart.......well he's a throwing QB so that goes with out say, but vince is fast AND tall.....i think that gives him the advantage.

bush is 6'0, maybe 5'11 (did you see him at the awards show? he's small) and vince is freaking tall!! i'm 6'5 and when i stand next to him, he looks down on me... so, if you take height at takeoff, which is a major factor, then i give it to vince... he's just as fast as reggie... not as quick, but top speed is very very very close... VY all the way!!

as trey put it " just as fast, just not as quick" Bush can stop and change direction on a dime and has open field speed........

young can only stop on a quarter....kinda pathetic :P

both of them have incredible open field straight ahead speed.... thats all you need in the vault.

I'm only going with Leinart because I hated to see a "0" by his name in the vote tally. He's not slow. Bush and Young are just really fast.

Not sure without seeing their transcripts. Do you have some inside info you want to share?

I dont know either, but... The pole vault isnt all about physical attributes. Bubka was never the tallest, or the strongets (maybe fastest, but you get the point) It is your brain, and learning the best way to vault
Just you wait...

iono, reggie ran a 10.42 in the 100, 21.06 in the 200 in high school... im pretty sure he's faster now. i know vince is fast but i think if they raced i reggie would destroy him.
