    Vince, please remember what got you here. Using your arm and your legs. It's nice to know that you want everyone to see you are a good pocket passer, but we don't mind seeing those occasional touchdown runs, or you making a team pay for blitzing by running twenty or thirty yards down the field either. If you want everyone to see that you are a good passer, work on the accuracy and reading the coverages so you can complete the passes when they're there, but don't pass up an opportunity to run just because you want to prove you can be a pocket passer. What is it going to take? Do we have to wait until the media says you can't run anymore?

    I just wish that we'd rushed more as a team. We're asking Vince to pass too much. He shouldn't be asked to pass 30+ times per game.

    I know, he did have that one nice little run today and I got excited, but you know the kind of runs I'm talkin about. The ones that I started to get accustomed to last year.

    I don't really have a problem with the pass attempts. It does give Vince more opportunities to make something happen with his legs. Granted, he's not taking them so ya we should run more.

    I agree with you PrimeTyme. We didn't get him because he is a premier pocket passer, we got him because he can run and make plays happen outside of just standing there and throwing. Today, he just didn't do it. I Know he wants to stay healthy, but he acted like a wuss who was afraid to get hit today.


    "Can't nobody tell me nothin"
    Today it looked like he was listening to a lot of people who say you can't succeed as a running QB.

    Steve Young anyone??

    Anyway, Vince was an embarassment today. a Freaking mess. I don't think that will happen much more though.

    But the loser of the day goes to:

    Ta Da!!! Brandon Jones. Big (possibly game-winning) drop #2 of the year.
    I seriously think Justin Gage and Chris Davis are better. Roydell too.

    REVISIONIST HISTORY ALERT!!


    We got him because the guy who writes the checks saw him win the Rose Bowl. At no point EVER did Fisher, Reese or Chow want Vince Young wearing two-tone blue....they were forced to. In retrospect, that's been a serendipitous fortune for them. Lemme 'splain....

    MATT!! COULD YOU COME HERE, PLEASE?.....

    He's trying to be a quarterback, but as experience comes he will learn when it is time to run the ball. Actually I think this is good for him, especially with us winning and this top 5 defense...

    It seems like he has read too many of Hoge's column or something of that nature. All the talk of "Vince is gonna have to beat people with his arm" has messed with Young a bit I think. He seems like he is just going out and trying to prove them wrong intstead of just playing his game. Last year when he didn't see something he liked or couldn't decipher a coverage he would take off now he is forcing throws like most young qbs would do. I hope that they drill in his head this week to not be afraid to run it. Youngs ability to run basically won the Jax game. The gaping holes were because a LB was assigned to Young it seemed on every play. Once people stopping worrying about Young beating you with his legs, the run game suffers and he becomes an average to below average quarterback.
