    doesn't Schuab have the Best Receiver in football on his team
    Would you Trade Bo Scaif for Owne Daniels?

    It's gonna take the jaws of life to peel those lips off of Vince Young's ASS.

    Pretty sure Mario made the team strait out both times. VY was 2nd alternate and then 3rd.

    VY averaged 188 passing yards and 1 touchdown in his 10 starts :eek:

    Throw AJ's numbers completely out the window and Schaub still had better numbers with 200 passing yards & 1.25 touchdowns per game.

    Anyways, there is no reason to bring up Schaub in this conversation. His numbers indicate that he should have been chosen as a starter.

    How many games have we lost with Schuab against average and sub-par teams? The dude doesn't deserve the Pro Bowl but let's not discount his impact.

    funny story. Saw VY at the Oceanaire last night while having a late dinner, say around 9:30. Initially he was with 2 other guys and 2 other girls. Around 10:30 a few other guys showed up and they were just sitting around and shooting the breeze...done eating, check paid, etc.

    About 10:45 we paid our check and my girlfriend was going to ask for a picture. She's a UT grad and had actually coordinated a UT business school Alumn function in the upstairs part of the Oceanaire earlier in the evening. She's a huge fan, obviously being from UT...she just wanted to say hello, mention that we had a UT function there earlier in the evening and ask for a picture.

    Bear in mind that that there are only 4 other people in the restaurant besides us and VYs group. Well as she walks over a wait staff cuts her off about 3 steps from VY and says something along the lines of how he doesnt want to be bothered.

    That didn't come across so great.

    Dude is entitled to an evening with his friends without being bothered/celebutized.

    Was the gf pissed or something?

    Rex Grossman just wins!

    In fairness this article was written October 29th.

    In The Numbers: Vince Young Is Rex Grossman

    He will regain his starting postion for the long term He will start untill management finds a replacement He will not be on the team next year He won't finish the season as the starter vote to see results Vince Young is going to be back under center to start the Titans' game on Nov. 1. This move has been long-awaited by Titans' fans. Young has been considered a winner, despite his inconsistencies, he enters the game Sunday with an 18 -11 record as a starter. That is not a bad winning percentage by such a young quarterback.

    At the same time, Young was benched for legitimate reasons, as a combination of on-field play and off-field drama led to him riding the pine. Was his treatment fair?

    This got me thinking, isn’t winning good enough? What else do you need? How often has a QB been benched so early in their career despite such a favorable winning percentage? Are there other examples?

    The first comparable example I could think of was Rex Grossman. Like Young, Grossman was a young QB with a winning record who found himself on the bench. Grossman and the Bears went to the Superbowl in his only full season as a starter, yet he was benched the following season.

    Young and Grossman are two young QB’s with winning records who found themselves sitting and watching from the sidelines, but the similarities don’t end there.

    Beyond the circumstance, statistically their numbers are almost identical. Obviously Young is a different style of QB, so that should be factored in, therefore I chose to use scrimmage yards (rushing plus passing) and total TDs (rushing and passing) for the comparison.

    Take a look at their career numbers:

    Category
    V.Young
    R. Grossman

    Starts
    29
    31

    Win/Loss Record
    18 – 11 – 0
    19 – 12 – 0

    Completion %
    56.9
    54.2

    Total Yards
    5943
    6244

    Total TD’s
    32
    36

    Interceptions
    33
    35

    Fumbles
    25
    19

    QB Rating
    67.8
    70.2

    Those numbers are startlingly similar and that isn’t good news for Titans fans. Based on the numbers, they are pretty much the same QB. Yet somehow Young still has a fan base and Grossman does not.

    Not only was Grossman banished from Chicago, but people in Houston were disheartened knowing Grossman would be the primary backup to oft-injured Matt Shaub. It has gotten to that level with him. I hope Young fairs better, but I think the fans will have him on a short leash. Will he end up in exile like Grossman?

    I have my fingers crossed for Young, but I will not be holding my breath. Hopefully he can prove he is what everyone hoped he would be and carry on his own winning tradition.

    she was a little upset. I agree about giving someone their space but giving the situation I thought it was uncalled for, I mean, it was completely dead there. And they were by no means in the middle of some social conversation...most of them were just on their phones.

    I actually ran into Bill Murray last week in Santa Fe at an Albertsons...talk about random...and he couldnt have been more gratious and kind to take time for picture and chat briefly. Granted, bill is freaking awesome but still.

    Also a side not on the bill murray encounter...he was buying those Jesus candles at albertsons with some younger guy who was super hippy looking. so strange but somehow it was appropriate for bill.

    How do you throw 2 picks in the Pro-Bowl?

    They don't even defend.
