They weren't Texans fans. There are plenty of fans that defected with the Titans, and numerous others that were looking for a reason to root for some team. The Rockets have over 40 years of history and a lot of success. The Texans don't have that. Steve McNair brought me to the Titans, and VY helped keep me there(I was pissed about how they treated McNair).
Do you see any Kerry Collins, the Great or Bo Scaife, the Great or Chris Johnson the great threads anywhere? Do Kerry Collins, Bo Scaife, Chris Johson fans constantly think those players can do no wrong and remind Texans fans about how the Texans organization passed up the Michael Jordan of the NFL? Do those players fans post numerous pics and videos of their plays in TEXANS threads? what's not to like about VY and their fans, right?
Its a game that we watch as fans. There is no need for excuses. If its obnoxious to you, then I won't tell you that you can't think that.
So you dislike him soley because people like him, again, pathetic I don't know a single person that stopped being a Texans fan because they did not draft VY. There are still a lot of Titans fans here in Houston, have you thought of that? And do the Texans have some kind of intense rivalry with the Titans I am completely unaware of? Last time I checked, the Rockets have a long and bitter history with the Jazz and the Texans just play the Titans on a regular basis. Not even a similar situation. Maybe if your scenario included a team like the Kings, it could be comparable.
I love reading this thread. I don't care if people hate on VY or the Titans, especially Texans fans. I understand its a division rival/former team, and I know who has dominated that matchup ever since the Texans began playing. This season, the Titans were 0-6 without Vince, 1-0 with him after today. VY's career winning % now 63.3, which is greater than Brett Favre. Vince is 3-0 against the Texans, and will undoubtedly beat them on Monday night in a couple of weeks. Hate away.
Me too. I can't stand Bud Adams and don't like Fisher much. However I grew up loving the Oilers and been in Austin since 1991, so it just makes sense for me to root for VY. The Texans haven't done jack for me to root for them. They have always sucked. At least the oilers gave you some hope and couple of trips to the AFC championship game.
i actually don't hate him as a person. i think it's sad what he has gone through psychologically. do i wish he fails as a QB for the Titans? you better believe it.
Looking at the situation Titan next 3 games San Fran Buffalo Then Houston. They could easily be 3-6 going into the game with the Texans Houston are 5-3 They play Indy Then Titans They can be 6-3 at best or 5-4 at worse going into that game If they are 5-4 . . a loss to the Titans would be back to the dreaded .500 while The Titans could be 4-6 Which will be an very scarey thing Colts - Undefeated Texans - 5-5 Titans 4-6 *IF* and this is a BIG BIG BIG IF This were to happen . . . . . . Sphincters will tighten and hatred will flourish cause . . the VY fans will definately be ridiculous Rocket River . . . I'm just saying . . *grin* . . . love stirring things up
Actually not. I *hated* the Titans. No one was happier when they came up ONE YARD SHORT than me! Then they got VY I liked VY but became his fan in the Rose Bowl Which is one of the greatest College games I had watched I *really* want the Texans to grab him up. but they did not. I don't hate on the Texans for it .. . I like the texans. I route for them. I am not a Fan . . yet [I hated the BUST-celli pick I hated the David Carr pick -- nothing against Carr but I wanted peppers and didn't think you started a franchise with a QB -- he got beat up like i thought I did not like the Mario Pick - Even if they did not get VY . . the reality is they back into this pick and got lucky. If Bush wasn't such a douche and signed before the draft . . he'd be in the uniform not Mario. Mario was picked because he would sign and bush wouldn't . . . that irratated me that they made a MONEY decision not a Football decision . . .they just happen to have lucked into Mario being good I didn't like giving Schaub all that money and giving away two picks when they have bigger needs else where . . . ] Through all that. . . I still like them I generally like the Texans I really Like VY - He is a houston native and he is good. I remember hearing his play at Maddison - Ut -- not Titans. I generally dont hate on any native Houstonian. it is that simple Rocket River
Most people consider that story to be the case. I am happy they got Mario, but agree with RR that I do not like how they came to their decision
I don't exactly like the Yao Only Fans, but I'm not going to change my opinion of Yao just because his followers never thought he had a bad game in his life and they hate Larry Smith for not playing him a billion minutes in his first year. Some people need to find a reason to hate.
But you'll get sucked into every other aspect of the VY discussion. It doesn't matter how different football and basketball are. What we are talking about is if a player can be judged by more that what his statistics show. That is universal to all sports. Why can't you get that? If you want to say that a basketball player can do more for his team then what can show in his stats, than so can every other payer in every other sports. I've said as much bad stuff about VY as anyone else (even as a horn fan) bc he was used by people to bash the texans and since he was a Titan. BUT he always helps the running game when he plays since the opposing defenses lineup to in better positions to stop him off the ends which open up holes for the RBs. That is not something he gets credit for as a QB.
Hey Macalu, Who bumped this dead thread this month? It was dormant for along time. Was it Vince Young fan? or VY-Non fan? Surprise! Not really. But its your boy. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=4803663&postcount=997
