Panthers @ Titans Postgame Thread

we need a consistant TE and a sure handed reciever, just one. Then young will go to those guys and not be hesitate. I live in MD, and the only time i got to watch the game was cuz i went to damons bar and grille. From what i saw. vince got sacked 3 times(the only times in the game) thank god i didnt watch more. but he was stepping up if the targets wernt there, and he was thinking of running. but was getting caught. i think we need at least one more explosive player on offense to get extra yards and vince will be fine. He needs to have fun, and i dont think hes doing that.

 

We need a solid possession receiver. Moulds has lost a step. I'm interested to see how Williams grades tomorrow.

As far as VY- he had VERY poor judgement yesterday regarding "tucking and running." I don't know if it is ALL on him because he wants to prove to people that he is not "just a running QB" or Chow is encouraging him to go through progressions. Yesterday he made poor decisions, poor reads and poor throws. He DID have a bad passing game yesterday as opposed to last week where his receivers let him down.

 

Titanspride needs to find a new team to have pride about, your a disgrace to being a titans fan. Everyone supports VY except you. This is'nt the site for you to turn our happiness down. Your the pacman jones of this forum. disrupting it and messing up the fan chemistry...go somewhere you pessimist

 

No team is complete, and right now the passing game is our weakness. We all knew it would be in the beginning of the season. We wanted Vince to improve his accuracy, and his % has gone from 51% to 61%. He is about where we could honestly hope he'd be as a 2nd year QB (btw - Steve Young year 2: 195/363, 53.7% for 2282 yards, 8 TD 13 INT, 6.3 YPA). VY isn't on the same page as his receivers on the deep ball, which is most of the reason he is struggling there - he throws outside and Jones breaks inside... once again Troupe is within 5 yards of the intended receiver on a bad INT - that's happened 3 times this year. The thing I'm most disappointed in is either Norm Chow or the Tight Ends - with a young QB in our offense the tight ends should be having incredible years and they seem to be an afterthought.

On to the good - even with all those problems, we've only lost 2 games by a total of 5 points. Teams know we aren't going to kill them in the air, and yet we're still one of the top rushing teams in the league. We've given up 14 points or less in 6 games so far. We are somehow 12th against the pass and 3rd in overall defense. As out-matched as we are by the Colts, we play them close every time and always have a good shot at winning. The playoffs have gone from unlikely to very probable. I highly doubt we'll go very deep in the playoffs this year, but any way you look at it the Titans have exceeded expectations so far. Pats and Colts are the top - but the Titans closing the gap.

 

i think we need some great WR's for us to go anywhere in the playoffs. Thats about all we need for our team to be up there with the best. We also might need an upgrade at CB. thats the only thing i can see that we need to be great. Chris davis and whoever is returnign kicks is doing a heck of a job, so pacman isnt as missed there even though his TD's might. If we get his playmaking abilities back...watch out. But we are working with basically a waste of a 2005 draft pick right now. Hes not on the field where 1st rounders should be. So if we have 2 more consistent drafts and a solid FA period like we did the year we brought in thorton we will win the superbowl in the near future...with this year not out of the question

 

Vince is still raw, no doubt. I think most of his fans, see there is still so much potential, and we hope for that day to materialize.

But to say he will never be able to, throw the deep ball, or he can't do xyz. Is very premature. Players develop from year to year, decision making comes over time. VY didn't go to a school that is known for developing QB's, as a matter of Fact UT amongst there fan base are regarded as hurting QB's more than anything.

Give it some he will come along, He has accomplished all he had up until this point off raw talent, he wasn't coached up. Now give the coaching process and maturation process time to work. MISTAKES have to be made to learn from them. I imagine you would want him to go through these things early in his career, than later.

I see week after week, QB's who have been playing in the league alot longer than VINCE making Bone-headed plays, and bad throws. It happens. But if you can't see the potential, and think Vince potential has capped out, keep watching.

 

As someone who really gets annoyed with the negative posters, those who constantly snipe at flaws in the team, I still think that this post is inappropriate.

Fans have a right to point out problems with their team. Titanspride bothers me because he's a little extreme sometimes, but that doesn't mean that he isn't a fan. You've called him out several times today, angrily, and without reason. If you want to argue with him, at least make a valid point. Bring up the positives about Young in order to cut against the negative. I don't think anyone can say that Young is playing at the level that he needs to be playing for the rest of the season. Criticism should be welcome on this site, and usually is.

 

alright, ill try it, but the 6-2 team bashing is enough

 

Jeff, your on the money. It is just frustrating that there are people out there who dont want to give Vince a chance and then jump at every single mistake he makes. Normally I would just ignore these posters, but seeing it over and over again is annoying.
