Why I don't want an elite WR in our lineup.. if Vince is QB

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
A receiver becomes an elite receiver by going above and beyond to make his QB look good. He will catch any pass that is thrown anywhere near him, and will adjust his route to grab an off-accurate pass.
If anything, an elite WR would make Vince, and the whole offense better.
If the defense double teams that WR, Vince would have other options that would most likely be one on one coverage.

Can you and every other whiner on this board please, for the love of all that is good in this world, let Dinger work with Vince for one more season, just like he (Dinger) said last TC without throwing in the towel? Is that possible?
You and ever other VY hater needs to just up and move to France, as you give up so easily.

 

Pitbull's comments had more to do with the fact that our system won't use an elite WR enough to merit paying market price for one. But yes, some Vince bashing was added at the end. It's still a valid point about our system. I don't see us producing a 1200 yard receiver. Bennett during our Volek days was an anomaly, brought about by playing from behind constantly.

 

I kind of wish this thread was titled "I don't want Vince in our lineup if an elite WR is a Titan"

 

I don't know if I would consider 2002,2003 "pass first", but I felt those were our 2 playoff years where passing the ball was a good viable option, and we seemed to do it regularly with success.


As far as Fisher's philosophy, that begs one more question... if he is never going to adjust his offense's strategy, should we ever consider drafting a QB in the first round again? Looking at what we've given VY to work with, my answer would be no. If Fisher won't make any adjustment to our O strategy, and we are never going to go after an elite WR, we probably shouldn't be trying to draft an elite QB either. We should just roll with the KFC's of the NFL until we get a new coach, if this is the case.

 

It's not so much the bashing per se that irks me. I constructively criticize VY just as much as the next person, but I beleive he still has a chance to redeem himself.
Unlike when Pacman got suspended for the year, I knew right then that he would never play another down for TN.
it's just that I just get aggravated when everyone else has given up on him but the team (and Dinger) have shown no signs of giving up on him.
Vince is not a wash....yet.

I agree about the valid point about our system though.
Volek/Bennett was an anomaly to this organization but not a football anomaly.
Bennett got that many yards because Volek is a stellar passer. I wish we would have kept him (Volek).

 

As to the organization and Vince Young, they've been trying as hard as possible to make it sound like they haven't given up on him, but he didn't start another game after coming back from injury this season. Players on our team generally get their jobs back after injury. Fisher has also basically said that Collins will go into camp as the #1, which doesn't say good things about Young. He may have another chance or two to win it back, but that's not exactly full support, it's just not full desertion.


Volek may not have been a bad passer, but he's a career backup. Fisher seemed to determine that he wasn't up to taking the responsibility to be #1. I'll trust him on that, since I have no further information, no reason not to, and Volek remains a career backup in SD.

 

They say 70% of Big Bens completed passes come from when he leaves the Pocket and runs around until a WR comes open. I dont see why this wouldnt work for VY as well.

Big Ben runs around, gets sacked a lot, gets pressured a lot, but he still wins SB's cause he makes big plays and the Steelers defense does the rest. VY did the same thing in his rookie year. He has to get back to being a play maker like Big Ben, thats the only we he can have success imo.
