V.Y. to start versus Jags!

[Sparkey]

One thing is that since VY started is that TN has gone much more run heavy.

Johnson has gone from 16 carries/game to 25 on avg.

Collins threw an avg of 33 passes/game to VY throwing 21

So it seems that the Titans are relying much more on the ground game while Vince has been the QB.

Add in that the defense went from giving up 33 ppg in the first 6 games to 19 ppg in the last 3 and there's several reasons for the Titan's turnaround.

Seems they had a "come to Jesus" meeting themselves during the bye week.

Good analysis. Johnson is definitely getting more touches and is a stud. Perhaps they're throwing the ball less and less because of preceding as well as being in games (not being down -- thus having to throw).

It is true that Young would not be starting if it wasn't for Adams but that doesn't mean he isn't doing well with his opportunity. Fisher is said to be extremely loyal to his guys and was going to stick with Collins, is my understanding, anyway.

It will be interesting to see what he does tonight but I suspect he leads his team to a win.

I saw them running the option for him. Something he was comfortable with in Texas. However, down the road, defenses will do a better job of preparing for Young and then we will see.

They seem to be playing better since Fischer wore Manning's jersey at that charity benefit. Hmmmm.

He's won FIVE straight!

go figure

last year cutler looked like a god and vy looked like a complete bust

all of a sudden cutler looks like a joke and VY is unstopable. and leinart remains the same, sucky

[channtheman]

Quite amazing how VY has turned it all around. I'm happy for him. He looked like a joke that couldn't take criticism but it looks like he took it seriously and look at him now.

Gotta give credit to Partial here. VY does seem to have the grit to elevate his game and get things done when things are on the line.

There are things in football and in life that aren't quantifiable, and this seems to be one of them.

Will he be elite though? I don't think I see it. And to compare him to Rodgers isn't fair because they are completely different quarterbacks. Rodgers learns and Young instinctively "feels".

Give him some credit. He was always playing well. Guy was ROTY and led a team to the playoffs. He wasn't passing well. There IS a huge difference imo.

He got hurt, lost his starting job (and had some mental problems admittedly), but didn't get his job back because of A) the team was rolling and B) the distraction of said mental problems.

Y'all acted like he was done after his little breakdown. How many players has something like that happened to? He said it wasn't a big deal, something that was blown out of proportion. Who was I not to believe the man involved?

Guy is a stud. He's not a pocket passer. He's a winner. I've said it all along and am glad others are coming around.

Monster game for Vince today. WTF was Fisher thinking keeping him on the bench this long. Oh, and Partial - I told you so.

I don't get it?

Monster game for Vince today.

couldn't believe that last drive...99 yds, 3 (or was it 4) 4th downs converted and the last being the winning td. needed that for my company pick 'em game.

Unfortunately, the golden boy's playoff shots will likely go down the tubes next week

Still, if they go 8-2 or 7-3 after starting 0-6 that is HUGELY impressive.

[Freak Out]

VY was one of those guys that needed to sit and watch for a couple of years and learn the pro game....instead when he hit a few hurdles he went down and almost folded. It's good to see he's getting it going. That team has some wicked talent and can be very scary if he stays consistent.

Props to the Birdman Bud for telling his coach to play the guy as well.

I know one things for sure. If the Titans are on my remaining schedule I'm worried. Teams typically do this every year. The Bears are folding and the Titans are rising, fast.

I don't want to come off as rubbing it in your faces, but a lot of you guys were huge pricks to me over this. This stat is pretty telling right here.

"Young won his ninth straight start and improved to 23-11 in his career by driving the Titans 99 yards on 18 plays in the final 2:37. He converted three fourth downs on the drive, two to Britt. He threw for a career-high 387 yards in beating Leinart in their first meeting as professionals and first overall since the BCS national championship in January 2006."
