Vince Young

[Cowboy Brian]

He was a superstar in HS, He was fantastic in college, he was picked 3rd in the draft, He gave up on life, then he ungaveup on life.

I don't think there is much to discuss, the guy is a solid player and it is nice to see him get back on the field and turn his career around.

In College, most people said that one of his strongest attributes was how he kept his composure whether the team was winning or losing, so it was a little shocking to see him go downhill mentally last year.

I think something very serious happened in his life and like most of us, had a hard time dealing with it and it set him back.

Funny that he was replaced by a guy (Kerry Collins) who had a "setback" in his life and kind of quit while in Carolina but resurrected his career in New York.

Since Vince Young is a Texan, I am going to root for him and hope he does well.

I think he's extremely lucky to have Chris Johnson playing absolutely out of his mind right now otherwise I don't think people would think nearly so highly of Vince Young right now.

OT - Oh if Chris Johnson was a Cowboy....possibility would be endless....just dreaming.....

He'd likely be getting squandered the same way Felix is. They wouldn't use him nearly enough here either.

Basically, this.

When you have a RB that can take a screen pass 70 yards for a TD, playing QB is a cinch.

Oh, come on. CJ playing out of his mind just happens to coincide perfectly with the QB change? Give the man his credit where it's due.

Uhm.. CJ's running should in no way be attributed to Vince Young.. ***? Titan's WINNING should be, sure, but CJ's running? No thanks.

I can say with confidence (CJ is on my fantasy team), that CJ has been doing this all year.

VY hit a wall and I don't think he ever had to deal with anything like that before, he was nevered booed at TX and I doubt in HS either. When his mentor and friend was shot I think that was what made him wake up and say I need to do something.

The fact that he has stepped up to do things for Macnair's (sp) kids shows just what he thought of him and why he is back on track

Well, he's my favorite athlete. At Texas as a soph he did face some adversity, wasn't playing well and a lot of fans were clamoring for him to move to WR. Then he turned it on halfway through the season and the rest was history. If he'd come back as a senior, he'd be considered the greatest college player of all-time. He's playing very well this season and will get better. I never lost faith.

Eli Manning says you're wrong.
