Hall of Famer
He has "incredible affletic ability." I hadthat sumo on my fantasy team and he has scored a total of 40 points.
Everybody's saying the Flaming Thumbtacks are back because of Vince
Young; TMQ readers are clued in to the real reason: Brett Kern. Let's
be realistic -- Young still has a lot to learn about the passing game.
Monday night he threw 22 times for a net of 116 yards, which is modest
at best. The "MNF" announcers were praising Young's passes so lavishly,
it was as if an NFL quarterback's completing a 10-yard buttonhook
represented a remarkable achievement in human history. Other
quarterbacks who threw for only 116 yards in a game would worry about
getting the hook. But Young's field awareness and running ability bring
so much to the table, his teams win even when his passing performance
is bland.
Quarterbacks who can suddenly change direction
and sprint down the field drive defenses crazy. Young's sprinting
ability forces the back side of the defense to "stay home," which helps
Tennessee's running backs to be effective -- no defense dares
overpursue against Young.
It's been only four games, but
if the Titans keep winning, not only will Jeff Fisher's job be saved
and 2010 look bright for the franchise -- Young will earn millions of
dollars for Tim Tebow. For months, NFL scouts and touts have been
debating whether Tebow should be a first-round pick. Young is the NFL
player most similar to Tebow; if Young's comeback continues, Tebow's
stock will soar.
DixieDestroyer said:A#19, Good analysis! "The Ultimate Weapon" had to scramble so much because he couldn't read defenses & was often confused by simple shifts or feigned blitzes, etc. He was another caste-pushed afrolete who couldn't measure up to all the (undeserved) hyped.
SoberWF said:A#19, I agree. Steve Young drove me nuts (as a 49er faithful) early in his career. I always respected his athletic ability, but his best quarterbacking came toward the end of his career when he used his superior pass accuracy and his ability to see the field over tucking the ball and running. His ability to run the ball had to be respected by defenses, but only after he proved he could hurt them with his arm. So too with Vick. what defense fears his? And, as such, he rarely made them pay running the ball, because defenses were always looking for it (I say that in the past tense, because I think he is a has-been).
Henry Burris was godawful in the CFL. He must have looked like a forerunner for Tarvaris as a Bear.Bear Backer said:hellhammer said:AS much as i hate to say it.........Watching Vince Young is still ten times easier than watching Jamarcus Russell stink the place up....
That's not saying much though is it? Jamucous is probably the worst Quarterback I have ever had the displeasure of watching with maybe the exception of Kordell Stewart or Henry Burris for the Bears.
wile said:QB position is a force multiplier that amplifies the skill sets of his team. A run first QB negates those skills for his own benefit. As of now A-Rogers for the Pack is the best combo. Anyway if Young is so great, will Tebow be any better or will the caste clowns in their consensus trance just spew their anti-white BS?

GWTJ said:Truth be told, I doubt I would even have a problem with Vince Young if the media would just shut up about him. It's not really Vince or his game that make me puke every time I watch the Titans. He's just another dink and dunk guy. The NFL seems to be filling up with them.
Another thing I have noticed is the drop off in talent of white QB's. After the top ten the remaining white QB's don't appear good enough to be a starting QB. It's all too easy to justify black QB's like V.Y. and Jason Cambell with so many journeyman type white QB's out there.
With 30 teams needing a QB there just isn't enough quality to go around. Maybe colleges should slow down on the recruitment of black QB's. Then the overall level of quarterbacking in the NFL would go up.

FootballDad said:It's also worth noting that after the game-ending kneel-down by Young, he turned around and high-fived the ref. I found that to be a little disconcerting.
