  • Vince Young - is the magic gone?



    This guy just needs a fresh start. He needs to go to a team with a good QB oriented coach, and sit for a year, then be able to compete for the starters job. He has all the talent in the world, and I'm confident that he'll get it together.

    In terms of being the second coming, he's a poor mans Joey Harrington.

      That's unfair. He has way more raw talent.

        Young is a head case
        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          I don't think the magic was ever there; perhaps the talent...
          TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

            I never thought he was a legit NFL QB. Entertained us all in college, but lots of guys have.

              His arm just isn't good enough. He has athleticism, but his shotput delivery is too slow and he just isn't accurate enough. NFL defenses quickly realized how one dimensional he is. Great college QB though.

                Get back to me when he can finally read a defense. Perhaps they are wasting his skill set by trying in vain to make him a starting QB. He might be better served (and the team for that matter) by making him a slash type player, running some wildcat-type formations, like Vick will run with Philly, especially if Patrick Ramsey beats him out for the backup job.

                  Barring a miracle, he's just not going to make it in the NFL as a QB, but very few people do. You just don't become an elite NFL player at QB through athleticism alone. Just another top 5 bust... but then again, most drafted players don't work out in the NFL regardless of position or draft position.

                    ..is the magic gone?
                    Someone once told me, repeatedly, that VY is an elite quarterback that just wins games. I think it is too early to judge him.

                      On a side note, is anyone besides me stockpiling canned goods?

                      First Partial has been giving Rodgers props for the better part of a week, and now he sort of questions VY.

                        Would you trade him straight up for Brian Brohm? Matt Flynn?

                            Yes. And, No.

                            Brohm is nothing so far as a 3rd string, so the only way to go is up. Brohm may turn out to be great, but right now, Young would be an improvement.

                            Flynn has shown he can play. He can read defenses and probably he has upside in the pro game, something Young's critics are feeding off of, since they will tell us he doesn't have it. So, despite Vince being a #3 pick and Matt being a 7th rounder, if I am TT, I keep Flynn at face value.
