2003.....That post was from 2003, when he was a middle reliever and had done NOTHING as a closer yet. He might very well have been an EXCELLENT starting pitcher....but the club made him a closer. And starting pitching was a major problem and Lidge had wicked stuff.... LOL at both of you trying to discredit me for being willing to take a chance and try things outside the box. Risk = reward baby !!! Life lesson number 1. DD
Yep, and as long as Vince keeps succeeding the subject will continue to haunt the Texans. As Max said, the conversation will go on until the Texans start winning and a rivalry develops. And if the Titans get to the playoffs before the Texans do.....the conversation will escalate. The Texans had their chance at greatness, they blew it. DD
No question about it. I don't anticipate otherwise. The point is, the conversation will not go away. It will be with us for a long time, particularly since VY was picked by a division rival we play 2x each year.
The Texans got more good players (Mario, Ryans, Spencer, Daniel) in this year's draft than they did in the first 4 years combined. We're not going to blow chimps forever. Point being that once we quit blowing chimps, no one will care about Vince anymore. I know that's shocking to hear, but try to be strong. Do it for the children.
Even Kubiag can't stop talking about Vince- Texans coach Gary Kubiak says Young's playmaking has been stellar not only for a rookie but for any quarterback. "In this league, that is what you want your quarterback to do; you have to be able to keep us on the field and make some plays on third down, and that's what he's been doing for his team," Kubiak said. "Probably even more impressive is that he's been doing some of those things late in games, to win games when it's at its toughest moments."
Only because reporters can't stop asking about Vince. I mean, what coach is going to say anything but nice things about the opposing QB the week before the game? Coaches have been doing that as long as the media has been around.
If VY becomes what I think he's gonna become...a HOF type QB...who plays your team 2x a year...if that happens, this isn't going away.
Don't think me unkind Words are hard to find They're only checks I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind
