Sorry, I meant to put this as a poll. Oh well, chime in with your thoughts.

I was watching the BCS game again last night and was just in AWE over him.

I know Fischer eased McNair into the starting role what's your thoguhts on how long it takes Young to crack intot hat starting lineup on a usual basis?

 

[Mik789fl]

IF it's true McLain wanted Young over Fishers objections then Vince will be starting by mid-season,ready or not and Fisher will be gone at the end of the season. If Fisher really did want Young then he'll bring him along slower and I'd expect him to start next season. I'm going with Fisher being gone.

this year, at some point

I wouldn't be shocked if it's week 1 but midseason seems like a safe bet

 

[RenegadeGM]

This season. There was an article a few weeks back (I'll try to dig for it) that pretty much said the owner wants Young starting by Week 10. Unless the Titans are on fire out of the gate, I think that's what happens.

Edit for the snippet and link.

The Titans continue to say they'll be patient with rookie QB Vince Young, but team owner Bud Adams is looking at his calendar. He would like the former Texas star to be his starter on December 10--when the Titans play the Texans in Houston, where Adams lives.

 

[Big Score]

It will be this season once the Titans are eliminated from play off contention.

Adams,my bad,was reading something and writing at the same time AND chewing gum.

Mid-season seems like a good bet, but I think Young might have a steep learning curve and not be ready by then. The Titans offense is going to be a lot more difficult to pick up on than the Longhorns offense. Young is very raw for the pro game, so it's probably best if Tennessee brings him along slowly and uses him in simple formations and for trick plays this year.

 

[jurb26]

I think it's pretty clear that if Tenn is out of the playoff hunt late in the year, Young will be given at least 1 start.

Been saying this since I knew they were taking VY.

Bet you he lands in IND too and replaces Dungy after the season.

Are you saying Dungy will retire or get fired? I don't think there is a chance Indy would fire Dungy even with a bad season (which they won't have). I do think there is a chance, especially if they win the superbowl, Dungy could retire after the season but I wouldn't bet on that happening either.

Ill take the <Poll Option A answer.

Week 8 at the latest.

 

[hutchins929]

I hear Young wants a 50 million dollar contract with almost half of it guaranteed. so it might be mid season before they actually get him signed which in my opinion would keep him from sniffing the grass in Tennessee untill next year.

Id be surprised if he holds out more than a week. The numbers you posted arent out of line given hes a QB and the #3 pick.

 

[Despyzer]

It sounds like the concensus choice is that he will be a regular starter some time this year. Maybe the better question would be at what point is he a quality starting quarterback?

Dungy? What the ....?

I don't expect Tenn to be near the doormat that may seem to think they are. I think they will be in the playoff hunt until roughly week 15 or 16 and thus White will start avery late. He will get playing time much earlier in the year than that and Fisher has already alluded to this being the case. Who knows, maybe he pulls a Ben and earns the PT and start by week 5.

Actually going from the above, what you heard is speculation by beat writer Terry McCormick for the Nashville City Paper.

Want Young? Titans need about $50M

By Terry McCormick, tmccormick@nashvillecitypaper.com

July 11, 2006

The structuring of the deal and the amount of the signing bonus are yet to be determined, but a package somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million, with approximately 40 to 50 percent of that amount guaranteed, is probably what it will take to bring the No. 3 overall pick under contract.

www.nashvillecitypaper.com

From the same article, this is what Young's actual agent is saying;

Young’s agent, Major Adams, says the $49.5 million contract Alex Smith landed as the No. 1 overall pick in San Francisco in 2005 will be part of the equation. "We’ll take into consideration what the first quarterback got last year, and what the first two picks get this year. It’ll be a little bit different since they’re not quarterbacks," Adams said.

Young has said he wants to be in training camp by the time it opens July 28, and his Adams echoed that sentiment Monday.

“I don’t anticipate any problems in getting a deal done. They’ve treated us great the whole time, because Vince was the guy they wanted all along,” Adams said.

I believe Dungy will retire after this season to be a full-time father for a few years before getting back into coaching. I'm sure that his son's death had a profound impact on him, and he doesn't place football #1 on his priority chart to begin with.I expect the Colts to position themselves for another run, but they'll need a new coach to take them to the next level, and Fisher is one of the best in the league.

week 3

 

[higgins]

I'll be in the minority, and say that I don't believe he'll start once (barring injury to Volek) until some time year two earliest.

This is the same team that brought McNair along very slowly, and Young's ability to handle a pro offense and make reads will NOT be happening this year.

Next year

 

[Liquid Smoke]

he'll probably be starting near the end of this season or latest sometime next season.
