Options for getting rid of Vince Young.. if need be.

Let him sit, let him learn and hopefuly Dinger can channel the Magic that he once had while still improving his passing skills. He is the future, but the future may not be next year....better to be 2 years from now than never though.

 

When Dinger came back last spring, he made this comment (to paraphrase) about Vince and his development:
I'd like to work with him for two more seasons. I will be able to better determine his future/status as an NFL quarterback.

One season down. One to go. They will not get rid of him before the 2009 season, if even then.
We all know that Vince is Bud's guy.
We all know that Dinger wants to work with him for at least another season before he even decides what VY's fate with the Titans is.
We all know that Bud writes the checks. We all know that Fisher trusts Dinger's word (especially if he brought Dinger back).
So with that, unless we get a hell of a deal for Vince, he will be here all season in 2009.

I'm not ready to give up on Vince just yet, but he has only one more season to prove he's ready to be an NFL QB.

 

Trade him for 2 first round picks.

 

:ha::ha::ha::ha:

He's not worth 1 First Round Draft Pick at this time, let alone two ... he MAY, MAY be worth a 2nd rounder, maybe a 3rd

 

He's got more potential than any of the QBs in the draft and most of the current QBs in the NFL.

 

So does David Carr.....but they're both damaged goods. We couldn't get a 5th rounder for VY right now.

 

The word potential is often used with this guy. He's entering his 4th season. When will VY and the word potential finally go their separate ways?

In the AFC this year an 11-5 team didn't make the playoffs. It's safe to say that every game matters, so by 'trying him out' we are essentially giving up the 2009 season if it doesn't work. I can't imagine how other players on the roster would feel about giving up what they work so hard for, for the sake of hoping 1 player turns out to be 'average.'

 

The success of our team wouldn't rely heavily upon VY performing well. Keep in mind, the 'terror year' that convinced everyone that VY couldn't make it (2007) was our first playoff berth in 4 years. If he's made any improvement at all then he should be able to manage a game well enough to win with our running backs, defense, and special teams. Then again, if we started 0-3 with VY how do we not bench him? They would be calling us the biggest one season wonder ever. I want to keep Vince because I can see him doing well, but it's just too much speculation for this pivotal season

 

I think Vince Young has actually regressed... as in he hasn't improved but actually is worse than he previously was... First, as a rookie he was doing all that crazy stuff that was actually working... but then defenses caught on... now he's been forced into playing an honest game... but he feels like he has to pass all the time... and now in the NFL with all the good pass defenses... nothing at all like the crap coverages he saw in ncaa... not to mention the OC change... he can't get it done... and it makes him mad.. and his confidence has been eroding... and the injury... the disappointment... having to watch Collins all year... he's listening to the voices in his head... he probably has been reading message boards... I'm thinking he's not going to be the player I hoped he would be when he was drafted. I sure hope I'm wrong but I fully expect him to FLOP whenever he finally gets a start.
