It has been recently discussed that Vince Young is trying to become more of a passing Quarteback rather than the flashy rookie Quarteback that took him to the Pro-Bowl last year. This however is not true, Vince is not trying to become a passing Quarteback he is trying to become a leader and a better game manager. In order for a Quarteback to be succesful in the NFL they have to be able to throw the ball now days, it isn’t like college where you run option right and then option left with your Quarteback. Jeff Fisher has said that young has improved alot from last season in his ability to know the offense, manage the offense, and anticipate what the defense is going to do. So Vince is not just trying to prove himself as a Quarteback he is trying to prove his team as winners. Bye being more patient and letting things open up in the offense he has helped the 1-2 hit of LenDale White and Chris Brown develop nicely this year. Don’t worry you guys who want to see some more flashy things from Vince, he will continue to put on a show and most of all he will continue to win games. I will be writing a post game post after the Bucs game so stay tuned. Lastly, just a fun filled fact about Vince Young is that it is his second game in the league and he has already led 5 game winning drives! WOW he is amazing. If you have any comments or concerns I am very open to comments on this blog and will reply to you as soon as I receive them
“There aren’t many kids coming out of college that are capable of doing those things as quickly as Vince has done them. It’s a rare exception to the rule. … At the NFL level, there is so much to learn and understand. If you don’t have the (physical) ability and the mental ability to back it up, you’re not going to experience success as early on.”

Vince Young may be a great athlete but he’s not an accurate passer. Watch his passes. He gets passes close but ‘close’ passes are the ones that get intercepted or receivers can’t continue their stride to make touchdowns. You don’t think Norm Chow who has a history of developing passing quarterbacks knows this? Norm Chow runs because he has to. You don’t think opponents know this? They are stacking the line of scrimmage and forcing Vince Young to beat them through the air and so far he’s done a miserable job of it. Last year, Vince Young won games because of his running ability; not passing. Thank goodness for the great Titans defense this year or the Titans would have a losing season. Wake up Vince Young fans; he isn’t all that great. Look at some accurate passers like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning who are putting up huge scores.
