maybe i dont know football as well as some of you but didnt a Jeff fisher coached team make it to the super bowl with a QB that was mobile, improvised just like the way VY does?
Titans lost AND ou lost? Man this football week was AWESOME! Hook em and Go Texans...**** Ten. and ou both.
VY couldn't carry McNair's jock strap. They are both black guys have been employed by the same team. That's where the comparison ends.
McNair could throw circles around VY... and proved it at every level he played at. They didn't call him "Air" Mcnair because he could only run the ball. And, while we're on the same franchise, Warren Moon surpasses both of them in terms of pure passing. VY could do himself a favor and look at some old tapes of Warren hitting guys in stride, reading defenses, and anticipating receivers moves. There will never be a stellar QB who has defeciencies actually throwing the ball. Never.
What the hell are you talking about? If you're going to criticize someone for glancing past other's posts, make sure you're not so much of a hypocrite next time. Pot yelling at kettle, it would appear. And BigTexxx hasn't even posted in this thread. This might possibly be the stupidest post of all time.
From Peter King today in his MMQB: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/peter_king/01/11/divisionals/4.html What I Learned About Football This Week That I Didn't Know Last Week: Vince Young gives off about the worst body language of any backup quarterback I've ever seen. I was in the Titans' locker room Thursday for 45 minutes and never saw a sign of Young, who lockers next to Kerry Collins and a couple of stalls down from third-stringer Chris Simms. Collins and Simms enjoyed the time in media-access, talking to an out-of-town reporter or two about their team, their old teams, Brett Favre, the Browns hiring Eric Mangini and anything else that came up. Nice, easy conversation. No Young. That's par for the course, one Titans source told me. Young's not one to pal around or shoot the breeze much with Collins. On Saturday, a few minutes before the opening kickoff of the playoff game against Baltimore, there was Young, the once and perhaps future quarterback king of Tennessee, sitting alone on the bench. Out on the field, loosening up between the Martina McBride rendition of the anthem and the start of the game, was Collins, throwing to a receiver with Simms throwing the ball back. Before the opening kickoff, Collins and Simms talked together, with Young still on the bench. And often during the game -- except when the three quarterbacks gathered between series with offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger -- Young was away from the action, just watching in his Titans' coat. Maybe there were times when he suggested something to Collins or Heimerdinger, but I never saw it. When Collins took Young's job early in the season, I wrote that Young was rebuffing Collins' attempt to take him under his wing and show him how to rebound from adversity and become a better player. From what I saw this week, Young's still not willing to listen. A shame. It'll be interesting to see how the Titans, with the sudden arrival of the offseason, handle the Young story. I'd be surprised if they didn't aggressively try to re-sign Collins, whose contract is up. Where would signing Collins leave Young? My feeling is the Titans will look to move him. That's going to be the big story of the Tennessee offseason. Salary cap-wise, the Titans are under no immediate pressure to move Young. The third-year quarterback's 2009 cap number is a very palatable $4.6 million, but it jumps to $14.2 million in 2010. And if they either cut him or trade him in 2009, he would count as $7.74 million on their cap in 2009 because of the pro-rated signing bonuses and guarantees that would come due immediately. The Titans haven't reached the point of no return with Young the way they did with Pacman Jones a year ago; it's not even close. But they might figure that a $7.74-million cap hit would be a small price to pay to be rid of the Young distraction if they can re-sign Collins. One big factor in Young's future: Owner Bud Adams, a Texan through and through, loved the pick of Young in the 2006 draft. I doubt he'd be happy with giving up on Young after three star-crossed years. Would he draw a line in the sand and say to Jeff Fisher and GM Mike Reinfeldt, "You can't trade or release Young?'' He might.
Still walking on air after watching the titans get their asses handed to them on their own home field. It was truly a thing of beauty. I only wish they would have had a “Bud Adams cam” similar to their “Jerry Jones cam” that they always seem to have. I’ll bet even the hair on is toupee was falling out watching that choke job! Then again, he's probably used to it by now....... Question: who has the worst hair piece? Bud Adams or Bret Michaels?
i wish young the best. i hope he gets traded to another team, i always found it very hard to root for the freaking titans.
The only way VY will succeed as an NFL quarterback would be if the team he played on put in the wildcat as well as other single-wing formations and plays. I'm a UT alum, and I love VY, but he will never make it as a pocket passer in the NFL.
i wonder why VY fans don't make new threads when articles like this come out. it's been awefully slow on the VY front. come on tinman, baqui99, mrdave?
This would be an advanced offense not requiring the capacity for abstract thought or the ability to read a defense, right?
But...but he went to UT...surely he must be a perfect QB and Human Being...you all are just HATERS!!!!! 41-38....GO VY!!!! HE WILL BE IN THE NFL HOF!!!! HE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just drooped in to say, I don't know where this thread is now, but this is by far the longest thread I have EVER started.
To be fair, it's Peter King who wrote that article. I don't exactly consider that guy to be a bastion of football knowledge or journalistic integrity. Also, you guys were playing right into KingCheetah's hands in this thread. updawg, however, seems to really believe what he was posting.
