Vince Young or Tommie Frazier?

Frazier. VY got beat up vs. OU one year - bad. Tommie would'nt let that happen. Played solid against top opponents all the time.

Durable, mentally tough as hell, and a master of psyching out the other team.

Watch the '95 O-bowl vs. Miami. Walking slow to the sideline in the 1st TV timeout, letting the crowd tire themselves out. Of course, getting in Sapp's head in that game was awesome.

Then, there's the fake gimp he'd do after a hard hit out of bounds, then rip off a 48 yard gain a few plays later.

AND - he willed the team down the field, plus raised the level of play around him.

I hate to bring it up but Frazier did lose to Iowa St one year. If I remember they bought the wrong shoes for a wet and muddy field and they had no tight ends because of injuries.
Yes, I know the 19-10 loss to ISU. Frazier was banged up, it was cold, and the NU defense gave a lackluster performance. That game was on Astro turf, if I remember right. The wrong cleats game was OU in Norman in '94, when he wore #17.

It wasn't like the 50+ point loss VY endured from OU.
