It looks like the Vince Young era is going to start tommorow. I like this move by the Titans, now lets just throw Lendale in there too
Oh yeah, insert :#1pick2007draft: into the Titans roster. if this is a Honda, please delete.wow news IS fast around here.
Why?
Because they're playing the Browns. Sheesh.
Seriously, the Cowboys D is looking REAL good this week in my opinion.Not so fast. I am pretty sure the Oakland Raiders might have that already wrapped up.
Good point. I jumped the gun
Ooops sorry Cowboys and Raiders almost mean the same things to me.Because they're playing the Browns. Sheesh.
I dare you to start him...
Anyway, this should make this game more interesting. And, it's about time they put him in. After all their blunders this off-season it was clear they were going nowhere. This might even rally the rest of the team to step it up. Worst case, they have a young QB with at least some experience for next year.
I don't know about Young's value, but the Dallas defense value just went off the chart for this week
This one might go down to strength of schedule. Could be a close oneGood point. I jumped the gun

Tennessee gets to play Houston twice.This one might go down to strength of schedule. Could be a close oneGood point. I jumped the gun
I thought the same thing when I first heard the news, but then I thought about guys like Fitzpatrick from last season. Teams don't have any tape to watch on Young, and it may be hard to pick up on his weaknesses the first week. I actually like the defenses that play him after this week better than the Cowboys.
Ah, advantage Tennessee then, they surely will have the weaker scheduleTennessee gets to play Houston twice.This one might go down to strength of schedule. Could be a close oneGood point. I jumped the gun
My guess is a young QB that more than any other young QB probably needs experience and adjustment from his college style of play, will have accuracy, bad decision making and taking too many sacks as three of his primary weaknesses in his first week starting.
I also own Bennett and I look at it differently. Get the bumps out now and then maybe in a few week thing will be better. It is not like Collins is doing a great job so I am willing to take a chance that it can't get too much worse than that. I would rather him start now than in week 14.Bennett has only 1 TD this year and it was from Young (that may have been the only time he looked at him).Bennett owner
Good points. I'm not sure what to make of this from CBS. Anyone see it as a favorable move for Bennet?:I also own Bennett and I look at it differently.

V-unit? ok.This is the right move by the Titans IMO.
Was Bruce Gardirdirkowskiy not available?
I am tempted to say "Check back around 7pm..." but that would be snide and foolish. He could be terrible today. On the flip side, I think the team will respond to Young MUCH better than they've responded to Collins. Do I expect the team to win today? Not really. But 300 total yards, 2-3 TDs, and 1-2 turnovers from Young wouldn't shock me in the least.
Honestly? No. I don't think I'm being a homer here to say in the first half, I see fewer than 10 pass attempts, lots of rushes from Henry White Brown and maybe a couple field goals as they let Vince try and settle in to the speed of the game. I expect him under center on first down only before moving to the gun on 2nd and 3rd. The passes will be short - screens, hitches, slants. Then, as the game progresses, so should his comfort, leading to more moving Young out of the pocket for some deeper pass plays. Here is where he'll throw the INTs, but also gain some yardage. Keep in mind that while it certainly wasn't a key reason in the QB switch, this is the national NFC game at 4 o'clock and the overlap of Cowboy fans and UT fans is huge. 99% of tHe stadium likely will be people cheering for Vince and wanting him to succeed, regardless of what team they support.Is that your unbiased opinion?
...and Bennett has HALF the team's receiving TDs. That is big time.Bennett's only td was thrown by Young.
That's the bottom line, and why VY will start...raw or not, he's just more productive, and the team will respond to him and rally around him. They suck right now, but in a year or so, this will be a much improved football team....and Bennett has HALF the team's receiving TDs. That is big time.Bennett's only td was thrown by Young.
You are basing this off of 24 pass attempts in situations that were irrelevent? Or you still riding the UT thing?He will show everyone once and for all just how far from an NFL caliber QB he is, making even Collins look good.That's the bottom line, and why VY will start...raw or not, he's just more productive, and the team will respond to him and rally around him.

The Titans have 21 points on the 12 drives led by Young. They have 26 points on the 27 drives led by Collins.This includes a 1-play, 1-yard drive where Collins handed off for a TD. It also includes (as a failed drive) the 1st and goal at the 3 Young ended the SD game with.You are basing this off of 24 pass attempts in situations that were irrelevent?
