    Praise him for what.....please explain how his passing mechanics are improved from last year. I am sure you will give us a detailed account, instead of just making your normal snipes.

    Thank you for playing.

    How can I? I haven't seen him play. Though, of course, I am not the one praising him am I?

    However others have praised him, but that is suddenly not ok because it is pre-season, yet you are free to critique whatever you wish despite it being pre season. Which is the main point isn't it?

    So I will ask in plain English, why is it ok for you to be critical, but others cannot be positive?

    He needs to become more consistent in this, but he's done a much better job of getting his feet set and driving off his back foot - especially after the horrible outing in NE. As a result, we've seen fewer balls that float and get away from him, and a much higher completion percentage. He's thrown a few nice outs, which are kind of the measure of a QBs arm, and those have probably been his biggest weakness up to this point. While he's struggled with the deep ball in games, all through camp we've gotten reports that he's hitting those in practice very well... so it may take another year or 2 to get the timing down so he can hit them in a game under pressure, but if you're doing something in practice over an over again it is going to come out in the game eventually.

    When confronted with a multitude who thinks you’re being overly-critical, just be pompous and condescending and insist they’re all ignorant. Yeah. That ought to work.

    Vince Young will never have the mechanics of Dan Marino. If that bothers you then you’re in for a miserable future as a Titans fan.

    Mechanics aside, Vince Young is capable of putting up passing stats to rival anybody. Add to that his running ability, his leadership, his improvisational skills, his willingness to improve and his desire to win and you have the kind of quarterback who only comes along once in a generation.

    It’s such a shame you can’t see how much water is in the glass.

    Speaking of snipes, I've read about five in this thread alone from you alluding to others being kids, football illiterate and the like. So tell me up there, high on your throne, do the comments you make sound as hypocritical to you as it does to us down here? I dunno, maybe the words get a little lost traveling such distances, you know carrying on the wind and all, so I am just curious. If you could please answer that question for us lowly, football illiterate kids.

    :rolleyes:

    Tnt.....


    Listen, it not about making a list, or about who is actually untouchable, or infallable. VY is subject to criticism, just as any other player on the Titans squad. It's just that.....

    IT ALL HAS BEEN SAID AND WRITTEN ALREADY. YOU ARE OVERSTATING THE OBVIOUS!!!!!!

    EVERY CRITIC OF VY SAYS THE SAME THING!!!!! POSTING THIS AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN IS POINTLESS. IT CAN BE SUMMARIZED BY PLAINLY SAYING..."VY NEEDS TO IMPROVE AND BECOME CONSISTENT IN THE PASSING GAME"

    EVERYONE IS TIRED OF READING IT.....PERIOD!


    Beating a dead horse will not make it run. It's dead!!

    You are a fan of the Titans, and I will not question that and as a fan I too have my criticism of players on this team, but I won't post 10 times (not that you have, or have you??) That a particular player sucks, and how bad he is.

    Just give it a little rest will ya, the season is about to start, let's give the kid a shot. I'm sure he will be good, impressive even, let's see.

    Nice, try to set it up so you can claim to have proven your point if he doesn't do great on the road against the team that gave him and the offense the most problems last season, especially with that being the first regular season game for this very young offense to try to click. I think he'll do much better vs Jax than he did last season, but it won't take a very good performance for that to be true because they had his number last year. Let's talk after we've seen him against Jax, Indy, and NO.

    It's also nice how you focus everything on mechanics instead of results when we all know Vince's mechanics are never going to satisfy you because they are unorthodox. In the end, it's only results that matter. So far, his accuracy looks improved and the results have been better.

    Solid total yards, completion %, TDs and QB rating and we have someone complaining? VY isn't even trying to make much happen with his legs right now. If VY can get a TD passing and a TDT running, throw for 200+ or so yards per game and we have a nice running game and defense we wil be in great shape IMO.

    TNT, I'm OK with you criticizing Vince, No player is perfect, everyone in the league has room for improvement. However I feel that the reason posters give you so much flak for criticizing him is because you do it all the time and never point out his improvements.

    You have mentioned several times how the D is going to put 8 in the box and force VY to beat them deep. In case you haven't noticed that is exactly what will open up the passing game. I believe you have heard people talk about how a good running game will open up the passing game. Well thats how it works, the running game does well, D puts 8 in the box and low and behold 1 on 1 matchups with DBs. Vince may not be the most accurate QB, but he will complete passes for long yardage with 8 in the box and 1 on 1 on the edge.

    I ask you right now, what would it take for you to just back off a little, its one thing to bash guys like LT who consistantly put you in position to LOSE games, its completely different to do it to someone who consistanly puts you in positions to WIN games.

    If Vince goes 15 of 20 for 225 yards, 3 TDs (2 pass 1 run), and 2 ints against jacksonville but we win, what would you say. Most of us here would be exstatic that he did that against last years #2 defence, would you, or would you :hang: yourself cause he didnt go 19 of 20 for 380 yards, 4 pass tds, and no ints.

    Like i said its one thing to criticize your QB, its quite different to try and come up with reasons why he sux, when he is winning ball games for you. If you don't like him you don't like him, admit so we will know when to just ignore your mindless rants.

    Quit acting like :whoop: just because he doesn't complete 100% of his passes. I mean really you are close to having your name changed from TNThunder to :moon2: :clown: hunder.
