    Then I guess we should wait until Locker has played for 4 years to compare the two. All we have so far is a LIMITED 2 seasons from Locker.

    Youre trying to compare VY with 4 seasons of exp, with Locker with 2 (and MANY less starts)

    Its like you are saying "dont count VY's first 2 seasons, but we must count Lockers NOW"

    I could be wrong though.

    That's where I disagree. We all know VY wasn't one of the best QB's, but in 2010 and 2011 he was definitely worth SOMETHING to this team. 6 straight wins getting us from 0-6 to 8-8?

    As I said before, he wouldn't pass for 300 yards and 5 touchdowns, but he was damn good on 3rd down and consistently moved the chains which did wonders for our defense. Look how exposed the defense was when we didn't have a QB under center who could move the ball. It's no coincidence this team's record was far better under VY then it was under KFC.

    All I said was I'd rather have VY than Locker because VY is better right now, or at least his last game as a Titan he was better. And it sounds like you'd agree or misunderstood what I said.

    fwiw, I actually agree with you there. However his antics erased most good things about VY from most Titans fans memories.

    I probably did misunderstand. Ill admit, 10+ pages of VY and i skip a lot.

    Id still take Locker, because VY has no upside whereas Locker can still become a great QB, or a crappy one.



    Same reason I wanted Locker over Manning. Manning would definitely make us a better team, but good enough to win the SB? No. Find out how good Locker is ASAP so we can move forward, or start over


    again


    I honestly have no clue how good VY is, hes been out of the league this year. That, within itself, tells me something.

    Do people know why Jake Locker is better than Vince Young? Because as the game goes on, Jake Locker improves, whereas Vince Young starts sucking. When Jake passes 21+ times a game, his comp% is 62.7, Vince's 35.7

    Yes he had 3 game winning drives, but thats about it.

    Jake Locker comp% in 1st half is 51%, Vince's 65%
    But in the 2nd half Jake's is 64% and Vince's 52%

    Vince gets worse, and Jake gets better

    And I'm using Vince's numbers from 2010, his 5th year, compared to Jakes 2nd year.

    I'd rather have the guy who gets better, wouldn't everyone?
