"Vince Young is wanted in Houston
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 6, 2011, 4:26 PM EST
Well, we suppose it was inevitable. Someone has penned an article saying the Texans should sign Vince Young, the hometown kid.

Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle did the honors, writing the Texans should pursue Young as a backup. (This assumes Young is released, as expected.) Justice then chastises the Texans for being “uninteresting” and wanting to paint the town “beige.” He wants buzz.

The argument almost makes sense in a world where Young would have to accept a clear backup role. He doesn’t.

Young has warts, but he’s not without value. He’s won consistently and his stats are impressive. He’s thrown 20 touchdowns to 10 interceptions over the last two years. He averaged 8 yards-per-attempt and had a 98 quarterback rating in 2010.

Young has major leadership and maturity questions to answer. Of course. That’s why he’s available and won’t get a monster contract.

Despite that, Young could upgrade the quarterback position on a lot of teams. He shouldn’t have to settle for a clear backup role. Let Matt Leinart do that."

If he is signed by the Texans, I will turn in my fan card.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If I were the Jags, I would be trading for him right now though. Get back some of that lost Tebow money by selling VY jersies and getting games broadcast in Austin
 
A they say, this is tooooo delicious... in a soap opera kind of way.

Don't you all have a sinking feeling that this will actually happen?

It's too freaking perfect not to, just like the touchdown he scored to win the first game he played in Reliant.

It's almost like... destiny.
 
The only time I ever want to see Vince Young near a Texans uniform is when he is under a pile of Texans defensive players.
 
If the Texans sign VY, I will personally hunt down everyone responsible for it, lock them in a room with a shirtless VY and let the tequila flow.
 
Guys to be completely honest, if Schaub were to go down in a game I think VY would give us a better opportunity to win than either Dan-O or Leinart.

With that said, I'll completely understand if the the Texans don't want to sign a guy who recently told his Head Coach "I'm not walking out on them (teammates), I'm walking out on you."

If he matures, grows up, and separates from his yes-men posse then it could be a good thing. Otherwise, VY is just another physically talented dumbass.
 
I think I'll abstain from voting.

I'm a Longhorn fan, but I never thought VY would be a good QB. He has well publicized issues, and would instantly have the VY fanboys crying for him to start.

The only problem is that he is a much better backup than Dano or Lienart. If Schaub went down for any length of time, from a purely on-field perspective, I'd rather have him than the two "QBs" we have as backups now...
 
Depends on Young.

I see him as a scorched-earth talent. Sure he is exciting and will win you games, but look at the damage he does in the process. Having him on the field of play is nice, but you also have to deal with his Wonderlick-iness off the field.

Now if the light is on...
 
Who are we kidding this is the good ol boy team no way we are signing him he will prob go to cincy or the Seahawks or somethin

LOL I love all the slight to Kubiak & Co. these days. Honestly, the decision to pick VY up or not has little to do with us and more to do with VY. He's his own worst enemy and will be the reason why teams pass on him.
 
Vince Young only plays well in Houston. The Texans play home games in Houston. . . wheels turning. . .

championship.

OMT, with all respect due to my enjoyment of most all your posts, I don't buy into the "if he grows up" scenario anymore much as I don't buy into the "expansion" label some still insist on giving the Texans.

The "talented dumbass" scenario is where I'm at at this point. :D

I see this as a lose-lose for the Texans however. At least in the short-term. (See Mario getting drafted). If we pass the sniffers will vilify us, at least more now. If we take him we have VY on the team, not a popular choice either.

I say we plant a kilo of cocaine on him and forget about the whole thing. :D
 
Vince Young is a head case. He belongs in Oakland really if you think about it. He's what Al Davis was looking for when he tried to resurrect Jason Campbell and drafted JaFatty Russell.

But Young doesn't belong in Houston. Not really. I think it would be kind of funny if the Texans brought him in..... Funny "scary" or funny "strange". Not funny "Ha Ha".
 
Look as talent VY is spectacular, but as a man, he is indeed a headcase in need of intense counseling. This poses a potential problem when leading a team. All that said, there are currently only about 10 guys on the planet earth who are successful NFL QBs. He still has a shot at being elite, with the right people around him. I seriously think Kubiak would be the perfect candidate for the job. You can talk crap, give me negative rep, delete my posts and kick me off again but the guy WINS GAMES...always has and always will...:pissed:
 
Take this from a Longhorn who once considered Vince a hero: Anyone who thinks Vince should replace Schaub either doesn't fully comprehend the way the game is played in this league, or he's a member of the media who is intentionally trying to separate himself from his peers.

Those two distinctions pretty much describe fanboys, Skip Bayless, and Richard Justice.

In this league, the quarterback is the offensive coordinator on the field. Someone who scored a 6, then a 16 on the Wonderlic isn't who you want in that role. Someone who prefers to abide by his emotions rather than coaching is not who you want in that role.

Good luck to Vince, though. I hope he lands on his feet.
 
"If he grows up?"

He's 28....how much older do you think he should be before he's just considered to be an *****?

No VY, No thanks
 
Talk about emotional roller-coaster reading this... "Young wanted in Houston" Noooooooooo!!! (Heart rate 130, BP 180/90...) "By Richard Justice".... and relax.
 
If I were a season ticket holder I would be praying for the Texans to sign him. Even with him on the sidelines the exposure and popularity of the team would skyrocket in this state. Let's face it, it's at an all-time low right now.

Plus my anxiety borne from getting the game here would all but vanish. :doot:

Just think how it will be if Cleveland signs him.

I'd prefer that they win quite a few more games next season. I think people would respond to that FAR more favorably than watching VY on the sideline. I get that you're a UT fan, but which would get you more excited about the Texans - winning enough games to make the playoffs or seeing your guy ride pine?
 
I guess it's an idea worth entertaining, but there's no way that I would want him in this town as a backup.

This would cause a QB controversy to say the least. Reliant would become a war zone. Every time Schaub would throw an INT, there would be rioting to put VY in. No way Schaub could get a fair shake with VY on the sideline.

Anyone remember the time period between January and April of 2006? When every post was about David Carr, Vince Young and Reggie Bush? When every sports radio phone call was about David Carr, Vince Young and Reggie Bush? Anyone remember how much drama that caused? It would be like that the whole time Vince is under contract.

The only way I would want him here is as a starter when Schaub's done here. And that's only if he got his head straight.

First off all I root for uniforms not players. VY is not my guy unless he plays for the Texans or Giants. However it is nice that I don't have to hate on him anymore.

Obviously winning is the only solution however since that is not going to happen since McNair decided to sit on his hands it would bring some excitement to the team.

except in the playoffs...

:)


I was kidding in my other post, but I don't believe Young will even be considered by this team. This town had a lot of issues in 2008 when Schaub and Rosenfels both had their crowds fighting over which one of them should start. Eventually Schaub won, but it wasn't good for the team and with Vince, it would be even worse. In 2006, choosing Vince would have made sense to build the fanbase, make the name/logo more nationally recognized and maybe win some games with him, but in 2011 it's would not be nearly as effective. We don't need a QB controversy right now, we already have enough issues to deal with.
 
Maybe some day...

Right now, it's a HORRIBLE idea. He needs to do a LOT of growing up and McNair won't go for a guy like that anyway.
 
I can't ****ing stand Richard Justice. He's the armpit of Houston journalism (such as it is). He doesn't believe 90% of what he writes. Just tries to get web hits writing controversial ****. His opinion is not important....move along.
 
My hate for Vince is gone now that he is no longer a Titan.

Bring'em in. Maybe Kubes can turn him around and get a draft pick or two out of him.
 
As anyone who knows my history (And God knows all the neg rep I received at the time), I was a strong anti-Vince guy in '06. But, I would probably be ok with the signing. He's always had potential, it was the posse and attitude (immaturity) I was against then, and now. I think if Vince had the right guidance, learn to be a pocket passer, and save the 'tude for his opponents, he could develop, and who better to develop than the supposed "quarterback guru", Gary Kubiak? :)
 
Not only no but hayull no. I have remained a staunch fan thru losing seasons, sporadic playing, worst defense in the league, HWSNBN, Casserly, Capers etc.

Vince coming here would force me to put all Texan gear in a basement and become a Saints fan.
 
If we made this dumbass decision to sign VY, the very first incomplete throw Schaub makes next season we'll start hearing VY chants. Not just no, but hell no.

Ole Miss Texan, I am not sure but I think there's a glitch on the forum or maybe with my computer.

It re-arranged your post in a weird way. ;)

Bizarre, isn't it?
 
If Vince Young cannot call plays in the huddle, why would Gary Kubiak even for one tiny second allow Vince Young to come here?

Gary Kubiak, for all his other warts, at least has found a QB capable of commanding the huddle and running the offense to his liking.

And we're supposed to sit here and actually think this could happen?

I know things are jacked up right now, but this is nothing more than a few VY fans (Dick Justice in the lead) who are projecting their fantasies upon us.

Kubiak has headaches, he doesn't want a migraine. I would imagine this might be a way to get him to actually quit early. So, maybe it WOULD be a good idea.

David Carr couldn't hack it here. Neither could Vince Young. It's a non-issue.
