Vince Young – Back in the Saddle Again!

2nqftf.jpg
 
If Vince Young's game tonight and his previous three games were any indication, he is the Titan's QB of the future. He was the difference in this game. Every time he started out of the pocket during the second half, I experienced a sort of sinking feeling in my gut, and it usually turned out to be for a good reason.

Overall, Vince Young threw the ball adequately well. Although he only threw for 116 yards, he demonstrated excellent accuracy when it was needed. Those people who keep insisting that Vince Young is not an accurate enough passer to be an effective QB in the NFL are mistaken.

However, it was with his legs that he did most of his damage. How many third down scrambles did Young have for first downs tonight? How many times did he keep his team's drives alive and his team marching down the field?

Vince Young is truly back in the saddle again after tonight's nationally televised Monday Night Football game. Every regular football fan who watched tonight saw it for themselves. And with the return of Vince Young, we also unfortunately have the return of the Tennessee Titans, who are starting to look like the playoff caliber team that everyone thought they would be before the season began.

Vince Young was the most valuable player of tonight's game. Tonight the Titans were clearly the better team. I am disappointed that the Texans lost. But I am happy for Vince Young. He played a great game and was the difference maker in this contest. And he is, against all odds, "Back in the Saddle Again."
 
yeah he looked good tonight.

still, the Texans suck for not putting a spy on him or taking advantage of his floating passes.

Your poor analysis always amazes me.

Young kept the ball moving. He had 73 rushing yards!

No Texans fan can say that that option play is not a killer. A D might figure it out but the Texans definatly did not.
 
Young is playing much smarter than earlier in his career. The coaching staff is allowing him to do what he does. Tuck the ball and run. No high risk passes.

Hard pill to swallow but I am starting to swing a little. Not sure if it is the jack or just the win but Young looks 1000x better then he has any other season.

and thats what he needs to be all about. He probably won't ever hit an average of 225+ yds per game but he doesn't need to. If he has a running game he will be a successful QB, if he has to do it himself he will struggle. He's not built to carry a team over the long-term.

He made sound decisions all game, his turnover was kind of fluky as it looked like it hit off his knee. We played well.

This game did not appear to be any kind of fluke to me. I expect Vince Young to perform at this level or above from now on. Let the NFL beware.
 
I rip Wonder(lic) boy all the time, but he played well last night. I thought for sure he'd get lit up on his runs. We just couldn't catch him. I don't think he'll ever live up to the hype, but he did his part to beat us last night.
 
Vince Young and the Titans did not do anything tricky or unusual. Everything they did last night was something I had seen in other games or something they discussed on the pregame shows.

The option. The QB draws. The pocket break down - scrambles on 3rd and long.

The Texans should have known how to stop the option. They should have known how to prevent the draw. They should have known to put a spy on Young on 3rd and long because they know he likes to scramble.

So either:
1. The Texans defense was unprepared
2. The Texans knew what the Titans were going to do and couldn't stop it

Either way is depresssing
 
Young played a good game and beat us...again.

Young isn't a fraction as bad as some around here would lead you to believe...

..but that ain't news to me. the guy can play football and can play QB.

most importantly, his teams win everywhere he has been even when other people don't win at that location.

I meant his turnover was kind of a fluke... weird how it happened.

He had a flawless game other than that.
 
I'll give him props, he looked pretty good last night. Some of that was inept defense (D-Rob dropping an INT, odd schemes, poor tackling/angles, drive sustaining penalties) and some of that was just VY making plays. His decision making looked faster and more accurate and he slung a couple of beautiful throws. He made "the right play" the majority of the time.

Having said that he is still an average passer at best and it's his scrambling ability that makes him at all dangerous. If he continues to develop his game he might just turn out to be an incredible comeback story.

And no, Vince, the city of Houston "does not love you any way." :texflag:

Eh we didn't put a spy on him until after he had already done most of his damage.

A great team would have taken advantage of the two mistakes Vince made (the throw that Robinson should have picked and the fumble). Lucky for the Titans we aren't a great team yet.

As has been the pattern this year, Young made just enough plays to win and few enough mistakes to not lose. With a running game like theirs, that is really all you need from your QB.
 
Not rying to revive the old talk. Could you imagine though a quarterback with VY's will and heart and Schaub's skills? I don't see how this kid wouldn't fit in Kubiak's bootleggin system.
 
I can't believe i'm saying this. I am jealous of the Titans and Vince Young. Look how they just knocked off Arizona - we could never do that. Sigh....
 
Hmmmm maybe we should get Michale Vick For next year ???????????????/



i wouldnt want it but hey ??????? mabe other people would

What?! I understand the year they were draftees but no way do they compare the same...VY will win "Nuf said"
 
VY had 387 py which doesn't matter. I did however watch his last drive on channelsurfing.net. He made a 99 yd drive at the end of the game with three 4th down completions including the game-winning touchdown to win by 3. Say what you want about the guy, he has the will to win. How many finishes have we had like that and come out on the winning side?
 
Bam! So suck my ass say what you want but we'd be better off with VY:clap:

Until I getta yea ur right Ima rub that in all ur faces...(yea wasted)
 
I must have misunderstood, but I thought the commentators said that Vince threw for 387 yards. If so, :bravo:
 
sure, we could have weaver and smith at DE

:yawn:

come on people get a grip

young had a great game,but the writing on the wall way before the draft that we weren't going to draft him.

Leinart was playing very well.

Young drove 99 yards with less then 2 minutes to play including converting on 3 4th downs. He absolutly owned today.

I told ya'll last week, Mario over Vince???????? IDK All the boy do is win games. They said he can't throw it, 27/43 387 1 td. They said He can't lead, he's 5-0. We should be pissed at our team. All they do is get us up, and let us down. Instead of giving carr one more year, we should have gave vince the job in his backyard. 2-0 in Reliant. Let's go Bill Cohwer

Yep, the guy is a finisher and the Texans as a team are not. It's a shame Bud Adams ended up with the guy however that's just another kick in the face of the Houston fan and my face has grown acustom to it.

A bunch of Texan fans have hated VY because he went to Texas. That can't be changed.

As a Longhorn fan I hated on him because he went to the Titans. However I do remember before that draft getting bashed for saying I was in the VY camp and I even had to change my username for a short period of time because no one would take my opinions seriously because I obviously had "burnt orange glasses" on.

I know this is old history, but, VY literally begged to come here. Kubiak, who was looking for Texans HC job, said David Carr had the tools to be an NFL QB. They had a huge investment in DC. There was no way they would draft VY. Most Texan fans were really happy when VY became a head case. I don't think Kubiak nixed it because he's an Aggie, but I couldn't figure out why we didn't pick up Cedric Benson last year. Figured it was the mandatory Boy Scout personality required to be a Texan. Sherman brought in Ahman the year before and that was crazy.

So you're saying we made a stupid decision way before the draft?

Does it really matter when we made the dumb decision to grant David Carr an extension that blew up in our face less than a year later?

Do you think there could have been any way that we could have used those two 2nd rounders to get Jared Allen?

Maybe we could have Jared Allen & Javon Kearse as our book ends.

I'm different, I don't care I knew from the beginning that VY would be better than MW in the short and long run. It's just the fact that we didn't draft him just because WE knew what he is capable of yet I think Bob wanted to try to prove us wrong yet he can't and it seems like he won't for a very long time.

Even if we did offer VY an he wouldn't take it just the fact that we passed on him in the draft. Plus that would make us seem like dumbasses but hell at least we would be winning, right?!:clap:

That's how Kubiak got his job...he had to tell Bob that his widdle QB was cute enough to play. McNair wanted someone to tell him his boy wonder was gonna make it. I hope Bob's next HC litmus test is more sophisticated next time.

Well, in the short run, I think Mario was better for our franchise, than Vince was for his.

& I don't think Bob was trying to prove anybody wrong. If nothing else, he was feeling guilty about what this team did to David Carr, & wanted to make it right.

At least that's what I hope he was doing. I can respect that.
 
its never too late. tennessee has mistreated VY. Houston can embrace him, unite the city, and win 4 superbowls.

it can still happen

yeah it does. Stupid decisions add up and the sum equates to mediocre teams.

Like what we've got now?

So your saying it didn't matter if we made the stupid decision the night before the draft, or a month prior. The end result is the same...

you were sitting in on the interview, or are you just guessing?
 
I take back all the bad things I have said about VY in the past.

He has heart, Schaub has nothing.
