Vince Young

[J-DOG]

Yes, because, by Mack Brown's own admission, they change the offense to cover up Vince Young's sub par accuracy. 70% of his throws went to the TE or RBs. Texas was 3rd in the nation last year in run after the catch yardage, which is how he got his yards per completion up so high

If it was that simple then defenses would be able to stop it.

Go ask Pete Carroll how easy it was to stop the Longhorn offense.

I know they preach the hatred of UT at A&M like the the Middle East preaches the hatred of Americans, but don't drink the kool-aid dude.

College is over and it's OK to admit it. Vince Young is one bad dude. Accept it and you will feel better.

You should be happy that he left early and allowed the Ags the chance to win a game against Texas. You own him a debt of gratitude.

I realize you are all bumping chests about the bragging rights to Texas, but I think HH's comparison to Vick is not that far off. I think in time, Young will be better than Vick, especially passing. But to imply he is a franchise QB already is the product of an overactive imagination which is more than a little fueled by some homerism.

By that logic then nobody coming into the draft is a franchise qb.

I don't buy that spin. There is a reason qb's are taken high in the draft.

Because they can be franchise type qb's. Vince Young is showing he can be.

i see how a few of you are passing the time till the game starts.

OK, will the Horns fans take the bait?

10 bucks says they will.

i'd rather reply to a poster i can respect, like yourself, than someone who just flat out embarasses himself with his inability to be objective.

i wonder how different a certain poster (really, he doesn't even deserve to have his name mentioned) would feel if vince young had chosen a different texas school to attend?

lucky for us vince has taste.

that performance today was just another chapter in the ever growing legend of vince young, and you don't have to like it, but you certainly can't deny it.

Try watching HH. VY has moved teams up and down the field in come from behind games the last three weeks by running AND throwing. There is no saying VY is no fanchise QB and saying Romo is after 6 games. There's no defending that and I knew it would get this thread moved.

 

[TEK2000]

And he turned out to not be a viable NFL QB

Thanks for proving my point

In your own little world.. sure.

Okay.. lets try this.

Vince Young passing stats as a rookie:
50.2% comp. pct, 10 TD's, 10 INT's, 64.8 passer rating

Troy Aikman passing stats as a rookie:
52.9% completion pct, 9 TD's, 18 INT's, 55.7 passer rating


I fully expect you to respond with some lame excuses to qualify that Vince Young has a lot more talent surrounding him.. but don't forget that Aikman had Michael Irvin (for a portion of that season) and Kelvin Martin that season.

EDIT: To everyone... I'm not attempting to imply that Vince Young is or will ever become the level of QB that Troy Aikman was.. its just a rookie season comparison ONLY.

Tony Romo is proving he can beat teams with his arm. Vince Young is not.

*** does it matter what part of his body he beats teams with?
I'm glad you exposed yourself in this thread HH.

You're joking, right?

Is that HH31 in the middle holding the camera with the goofy look on his face?

 

[cowboyz]

his passes look pretty accurate to me. seems like more passes are dropped than bad throws.

the only deficiency i see is really slinging it in there, he tends to be the opposite of vick and try to throw a very catchable ball, but sometimes you gotta just trust your wr will catch the tough pass.

i think his downside is mcnabb if his accuracy doesn't improve.

Vince's carrer could go either way. He has shown some flashes that he can be a very good QB. He has also shown that he can struggle in the NFL. Pretty typical for a rookie QB. There is no way for me to predict that he will indeed be either great or a bust. I just would not bet against him. He just seems to have that will to succeed. He is a success right now in that he is helping the Titans win. This team was not predicted to do to much of that this season. The defense is not solid and there really are no stand out receivers on the team. Bennett is the best of the bunch, but is not a super star.

The Titans are getting the most out of Vince Young thus far in his career. It is up to him to improve his passing to really elevate his game. That goes for every young QB. They all have to learn to read the defense quickly and correctly, spot the open receivers and make accurate throws. Some QBs just don't get good enough in those areas to really become a force in the NFL. And most don't have the athletic abilities to make something happen when they don't get the ball downfield.

Don't annoint Vince Young just yet. Don't absolutely state that he won't improve his passing either. Some guys do get better. Most experts said it would take Vince about 3 to 4 seasons to develop as a passer. I think he is ahead of that curve as a passer, but that still does not make him good yet. I look forward to seeing him grow.

In 6 wins

Not great, but not bad for a rookie. Of course in his losses, the numbers are very bad. Again, he is a rookie and that can be expected.

However, Vick saw almost no playing time in his 1st season. 2002 was, for all intensive purposes, his rookie year. They threw him into the fire just like Tennessee did to VY and he played very well.

:laugh1: Malaprop much HH?

If anyone ever needs a good reference as to what it means to be aggie, see above.
