Anyone who knows me and sees this title will immediately right it off as me hatin' on that boy. But bare with me and ye shall be saved.
If I hear one more Texans fan say that they would be better with Vince Young at QB, I am going to disown Houston and move to Peoria. People in Houston are obsessed two games in his non-NFL career in which nothing happened except him being huge and fast and owning the game. Those games are Madison vs. North Shore his senior year in high school. A game that is kind of legendary here in Houston, where VY was the only kid with facial hair. And the National Championship game against USC where he went into God-mode and could not be stopped. And do you VY lovers have any idea what those games have in common? Not one D-Coordinator in the NFL gives a flying crap about any of that.
By all physical aspects and accounts, Young should be the best QB in the league. Compared to Manning, Brady, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers, Ryan, Flacco... I will stop because I do not want to type the name of every starting QB in the NFL right now, he is the most physically gifted guy in the league. And yet you always hear those other names in front of his. Why do you think that is? Because he is unintelligent in every sense of the word unintelligent. Frankly, he is just not smart... at all. But the worst part of it all is that being dumb can be overcome. Just look at Dan Marino. His Wonderlic scores (15) were the lowest ever for a QB. The difference is the reason VY is truly unintelligent. He does not work. He is not prepared. Dan Marino might have had an extra chromosome--but he was smart enough to know he needed to work his ass off, even when he could not tell his ass from a hole in the ground. So he busted it and became one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. VY works from 9-5. Drew Brees works 6am to midnight. Peyton Manning prepares 25-8. That is what separates VY from the best... or even the marginal.
So you keep the constantly most overrated QB ever and I will keep Matt Schaub or anybody else....ever.... And to you Houstonians and other people who think he can be a decent NFL QB, STOP!!! You need to try to separate your emotion from your arguments. VY lovers are caught up in what you saw before he started playing against athletes equal to him. He will never be great, because he does not want to be great.
I agree. He was great in high school and college because he was on a higher level of physical abilit. once he lost that edge by coming to the NFL, he is mediocre at best. I'm still kinda curious how he got the starting job from kerry collins who is a much more reliable and down right smarter player. He wins games because he is a freak of nature, but until his work ethics improve he will never be championship material.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I think this video sums up why VY won't ever be good. I'll stoop low enough to bring it up

Vince Young in the night club. Hah I can't imagine the Mannings doing something like this which I suppose is why they are good
I don't even know why the Texans picking him up is even a conversation. He is going to end up going to the Panthers, or some joke like that.
ReplyDeleteso all i'm getting from this is that if I say I like VY for houston that you will move? ... tempting.
