VINCE YOUNG???? YOUR THOUGHTS
- Thread starter Supa SAV'D OUTT
- Start date
Vince Young would excel in that Wild Cat offense, but as a pocket QB, FAILURE!!! I new when he came out he wouldn't do shit in the NFL. I mean a Texas, he was told to look for his primary receiver, if he's not open, RUN!!! He was never taught progressions in college. He didn't know hw to look off corners, look for his second, third and fourth options. He made it because of raw talent, but that alone won't get it done in the NFL. Matt Leinart is a bust too, even though I thought he would be better than Vince Young, so going back to the draft that year, looks like Mike Mayock of NFL Network was rightm Jay Cutler is the best QB coming out.
The last time the 49ers had a real QB (Jeff Garcia) they made the playoffs in 2001 and 2002. From 1980 to 2002 the 49ers made the playoffs 18 times and won the NFC West 14 times. They made the playoffs in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001, and 2002. Is that mid-90s?
Alex Smith, Tim Rattay, Shaun Hill, and everyone since have not proven themselves as 49er quarterbacks.
You are either playing dumb, sincerely ignorant, or a Raiders fan. In any case your opinion sucks and you eat shit. I won't be responding to you again so don't bother.

Quarterback Vince Young says he is content to stay in the shadows behind Tennessee Titans starter Kerry Collins this season and not "get into the hoopla any more."
Young spoke publicly Sunday for the first time since the Titans picked up veteran quarterback Patrick Ramsey this offseason after re-signing Collins to a two-year, $14 million deal.

"I am just going to keep my mouth closed, man," Young said, according to The Tennessean. "All I am doing this year is shutting up, just shutting up and working. I am going to smile and shut up and continue being Vince Young, a happy smiling guy. I am not going to get into the hoopla any more because of the fact I can't win any more, I see.
"I am just going to shut my mouth and play my role, and if they need me then I will be available as a weapon."
Young, the 2006 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year who started 28 games during his first two seasons before Collins took over early last year, joined several Titans teammates in a celebrity basketball game at Tennessee State in Nashville on Sunday night.
He said he met with coach Jeff Fisher during the offseason to talk about 2009.
"I just basically went in and said I don't know what is going on, but I am going to come in there and work and go from there and let him make his own decision,'' Young said, according to the Nashville newspaper. "I just want to keep working out and staying out of the way unless they need me."
Fisher on Vince Young

Titans head coach Jeff Fisher says Kerry Collins is the starter but it is not impossible for Vince Young to earn his job back.
Young said he has made no trade demands of the Titans and continues to be encouraged with the team and Nashville despite an indefinite future.
If the Titans were to part ways with Young before this season started, it would actually cost them an additional $2.76 million against the salary cap.
But in swallowing a $7.38 million cap hit in 2009, the Titans would take Young off their books beyond 2009 and then save $9.29 million in salary-cap room in 2010 and $12.75 million in 2011.
Barring a scenario where he replaced an injured Collins and had an MVP season or won a Super Bowl as the starter -- and maybe even in the context of such events -- it's unlikely Young will be a Titan under this contract in 2010, when he's due a $4.25 roster bonus, a $7.5 million base salary and would cost $14.21 million against the cap under contract and only $4.29 million if he was taken off the roster.
"I definitely want to be in Nashville and it is a team I am committed to," Young said. "But it is always a business and you never know what goes on. But I will always have myself prepared.''

Young started the Titans' first game of last season but was booed by the home fans and injured his knee. He skipped a scheduled MRI exam a day later, then prompted a police search when he raised the concerns of those close to him by taking off hours later without his cell phone.
He played in two more games the rest of the season as the Titans went 13-3 and won the AFC South.
"I just don't want them to say anything about Vince Young that he is not taking care of his responsibilities," Young said. "I will always take of my responsibilities if I am not playing or if I am playing. I don't want no negative stuff going out to other teams saying Vince Young is not playing and because he's being a bad guy. That is not me.
"Whatever they want me to do that is what I am going to do. If they want me to sit on the sideline and be there to watch the game then that is OK with me, but at the same time I am getting my checks and I am fine.''

^hey but it's TRU tho. the 9ers are lacking at qb. and have been since Garcia. if you guys would have sucked like we did, u might've had a chance to get a franchise qb. but you guys just had to be mildly good. but then again, Hasselhoff wasn't a 1st rounder and he turned out alright. so maybe that'll happen to any other team.
oh yea, OL is what everyone needs. i bet Larry Allen is missed terribly. i think maybe yall should have went after Pace. he seemed alright. but we need a T too. Walter Jones is pretty much over the hill. and so is Mike Whale. i think yall need a real good qb right now though. the run game seems solid already with Gore. Manny Lawson is one of the players i like on the squad. him and Willis of course.
