FBG QB ranking: Vince Young #6 (1 Viewer)

King of the Jungle

Footballguy
I normally do not question rankings because there is no surefire way to predict the future, however I am curious on why Vince Young is ranked so high this week. The last four weeks in my league (high performance scoring) he finished 24, 17, 21, and 18 in points scored by a QB.

What am I missing?

 
your guess is as good as mine... on that..

's like the clowns that voted VY as RoY ahead of MJD when Young had a 66 passer rating with 12 TDs and 13 intercepts.. ..it is just one of the all time jokes that people see anything in this guy!!!

:confused:

I mean really looking back at it.. if the HC and OC had babysat the play calling with Kerry Collins like thay have with VY the Titans wouldn't have started 0- 6 to begin with.. for some reason people actually believe this guy can QB in the NFL.. people keep talking about all he does is win games.. well sure when ya only toss 15 passes a game and hand the ball off as Chris Johnson rushes for 160 and a TD or two in every game which then keeps your suspect Defense off the field for two thirds or 3 quarters of the game.. sure you're gonna win.. as Tom Jackson says.. I'd bet "JARmacus Russel might be able to even win with that formula..

:confused:

 
Bloom has him ranked much more reasonably IMO in the low teens. Does Arizona give up alot of rushing yards/TDs to opposing QBs maybe?

A stat line like 11/18 for 130 yards, 60 rushing, 1 passing TD and .5 rushing TD is 21 in my league. I could easily see that kind of stat which would put him as a fringe QB1.

 
people keep talking about all he does is win games.
With some quarterbacks this is called "gritty", or "wily", or "doing what it takes" or "finding a way to win" or "willing his team to victory" or "refusing to lose" . You know --- various complimentary terms.
 
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern by FGBs. FBGS has been very desirous that Vince Young do well,'' "There is a little hope invested in Young, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." ;)

I'm sure his ability to pick up the 1st down on 3rd and long by running instead of throwing the ball away has nothing to do with CJ's recent performance. I'm sure his 1 INT in 4 games vs. Collins 8 in 6 has nothing to do with the Titans recent success.VY has passed the ball 18, 19, 25, and 22 times in these 4 games. Collins did pass roughly twice that amount but do we measure success by # of attempts?Collins netted 181 yards per game - granted, that includes the New England debacle. Without that game, Collins netted 216 yards per game. VY has netted 230 yards per game.Collins had failed to score a TD in his last two games, but he has managed to throw an INT in every game. VY has scored 1 TD in every game, one INT in 4 games. Want to talk passer rating? Collins had one game higher than VY's lowest rating so far. Percentage? Collins 54.8, VY 62.9; wait! that's just because VY throws short passes!Look at AY/A: Collins - 4.12. VY's - 6.66. Yeah, that's just because VY has been able to complete more short passes, so his AY/A is higher.uh oh, look at his Y/C: Collins - 9.9, VY 11.1That said, so far VY has faced below average defenses, all are in the 18-24 range. So we'll have to see how he keeps it up. I like what I see so far.

In my eyes the jury is still out on VY, but please continue to regale us with your emotion.
 
This is a classic case of a young gifted prospect that was not ready for the prime time. Young is now in a great place and the resurgence of the Titan team overall is indicative of how things in the NFL can change quickly. This game will be a great test for VY and I think it will be one of the best games on Sunday. He will have to take it up a notch to keep pace with the Cardinal's powerful offense.

Someone struggles with bitterness and complete non objectivity.

In a league that does not have minus points for turnovers Young could be a good start.I would love to see them just cut him loose like at Texas..one look and run.

Ha, after a 30-13 shellacking, an obvious jaded Jag. I don't know about the #6 ranking this week, seems like a stretch, but I don't pay too much attention. What is clear to me, with VY at the helm, Chris Johnson has gone from good to dominating. With KFC 120 yds & 0.5 tds/game, with VY 195 yds & 1.5 tds/game. The VY running threat is real and clearly benefits CJ.Its also clear the Titans are a much better offensive team with VY. With him they average 2.75 offensive TDs and 2.25 FGs per game versus 1.5 TDs and 1.16 FGs with KFC. VY showed last week, he can take a 3rd and 3 situation and use his legs or arm to turn that into a first down.I'm more encouraged with VY's second chance than his first go around. He is doing a good job with ball security and making accurate throws. As long as he attempts a few downfield passes (which have been accurate) plus tucks/runs 5 or 6 times a game, the defense really can't get too comfortable. I applaud Heimerdinger for simplifying and complimenting the Chris Johnson threat with the VY threat, so far it is working great.
 
Ladies and Gents.. believe it or not, all opinions aren't based on whether one likes a team or not..

there is no bitterness and honestly no "non-objectivity" involved.. and the Jax loss to Tenn is a moot point since they've traded shellings with one another this season.. it is a simple fact that has been proven on the field..

..the Titan and VY success is a direct result of him being protected by the play calling and the production of the run game featuring Chris Johnson.. thus making it very easy on him to this point.. and as one post mentioned earlier, toss in that they've yet to be truly tested since he's been back in the lineup and it's really not rocket science.. last year the play calling helped Kerry Collins in very much the same manner..

also I'll add VY's athletic ability has never been questioned.. ..he's a phenom in that regard..

but as a NFL QB he is not even close.. and IMO never will be.. good athletes don't win Super Bowls..

good Teams with good Leadership do... ..it's no slight to Tennessee.. it's just a fact to this point..

as for VY being a good start this week..

all depends on which Cardinal Team shows up and whether or not you really believe in the guy..

I'll see how he picks himself up the next time the world pushes him real hard before I start drinking that Kool Aid..

 
With the personel on the Titan's offense, Vince is a better fit. I think he and Chris Johnson compliment very well, and Vince's running ability (and the opoosng defense's respect for that creates opporunities for both he and Johnson. The fact that Vince is making throws when needed are a bonus. Many here are talking of a bias, but I think there is one coming from the opposite direction too. Vince is showing some of the confidence that he showed as a rookie, and that year he was also winning.

Just curious - are you saying no team that has won the Super Bowl has gotten that leadership from a non-QB?

Srsly he just lit your #### up as a starter when Collins got beat by 4 scores in the first half. Get off him.

Whats wrong with this? Maybe more teams should find this formula. You seem to denounce it, I applaud it. VY clearly makes CJ a bigger weapon than without him. CJ makes VY a bigger weapon than without him. Together they seem to be producing big results, you can't deny that.
 
no.. not saying that at all Fubar.. I've played, coached, and watched the game for far too long to be that narrowminded.. LOL.. (in spite of what some here appear to think) LOL..what it really boils down to is I'm simply not ready to believe in the guy or the hype that seems to continue being spewed about him as being a solid NFL (and Fantasy) QB at this point..

if he proves me wrong fine.. until he does.. oh well!

:mellow:

okay, just prepare to be proven wrong.
 
looks like he's the 6th highest QB right now behind these guys:

Brett Favre

Aaron Rodgers

Phil Rivers

Tony Romo

Ryan Fitzpatrick

and just ahead of these guys:

Peyton Manning

Josh Freeman

Jason Campbell

Chris Redman

Alex Smith

 
..if this is his future... great.. even though he dodged 3 picks today that I saw.. I'll be the first to admit that performance was a classic for sure.. but it's still one week.. he performs like that consistantly then I'll be willing to put him in that top tier category.. one week with those numbers doesn't do it though.. ..to those that "really" had the 'Kahunas' to play him... definite hat's off to you!!!

question to Tenn Coaches and Fans though.. where's Britt and Jared Cook been all year !?!?!?!

 
Cook has been MIA, but Britt has been consistently getting better week in and week out. From week one in Pittsburgh we profiled him in the Waiver Wire report as a player who performed with ups and downs in that game and since then he has increasingly made plays. This was a big step of course, but it's not like he stunk all year and suddenly didn't something great.

I'm not ready to put Young in the category of elite QBs, but for the past month (and past two games, especially) Young has made a strong statement that his development as a starting QB is back on track. Considering last year he was considered to be in the midst of a Ryan Leaf-like meltdown, I'd say it's reason to be impressed with his turnaround.

Not many QBs lead teams on 99-yard drives in the closing minutes of a game in the NFL, period.

This thread was about his ranking for this ONE week.
