    There's no question that being the backup last year helped his maturity and development as a QB, because his performance has been night and day - I don't really know who you are arguing/calling out here? :confused:

    VY as a Starting QB

    23 -11 = .676 = winnah

    1 INT as a starter in 2009

    Matt Shaub

    14-24 = .368 = looosah

    11 INT as a starter in 2009

    It will be a sad day when he beats the Colts next week.

    Yeah but, what are they supposed to say? I mean, hell, most of those guys were saying Young was going to be great and that Fisher was stubborn for not playing him and that he should have played him sooner. Now, even that's looking like they were right. :(

    Sorry man, I hate the f'kin Titans too, but you have to give credit where it's due.

    Obviously that was an awesome coaching move. Did wonders for their record.

    I dont' know if the VY is god crowd quite appreciated how much better he had gotten - hard to when he doesn't play - I sure didn't expect him to be as good as he has been this year.

    very nice Sam, you should have come round to my place to watch it :D

    he certainly has more time, the O line is helping and the D is petrified about his running ability

    Actually there were a steady stream of complaints about Jeff Fisher not playing VY even going back to Ten playoff loss year (that VY could've at least done SOMETHING in that game last year).

    Vince looked like Vince today. It's how I expect him to look.
    Why wouldn't he?

    Again?

    Oh, you mean like he was in High School when he was the best prospect in the country?

    Or were you talking about college when he went 30-2 and ended with a National Championship?

    Or are you referring to the NFL, where he is 23-11 and carrying a 9 game winning streak?

    The next time Vince Young gets figured out will be the first.

    um, no, he's talking about that first time when he was benched, started crying like a little girl, and then drove off alone into the darkness without telling anybody his whereabouts.. he's talking about that precise meltdown that made his coach play a 70 year old ahead of him.

    What does any of that have to do with the NFL figuring him out? At that point, he had won his last 4 games (including that one).
