Vince Young overrated?

Take it easy dude, people have different opinions. Yes what you presented were facts, but who cares about those numbers if the TEAM is winning. Poeple enjoyed watching Vick even if the Falcons lost.

Now, I am with you that his numbers don't look good. But if he wins a Super Bowl, don't you think he would probably get in to HOF? (take it easy I don't want you to have a heart-attack).

It's to discuss something different. We spew the same stuff over and over and over on this site, talking about Vince Young is something different. The fact that I believe that VY is overrated is just an added incentive.

You tell me to take it easy...I am. I find these kinds of threads to be fun. Have I attacked someone and not noticed or something? Not sure why you are telling me to take it easy. But see you said it again, about the TEAM winning. 11-9 since VY's arrival is hardly a team that should be considered winning.

There is no way he will ever win a SB as a starting QB. Maybe I shouldn't take such a firm stand, but I truely doubt he will do what it takes to be a great QB in this league. I am unsure of how you can make the connection between winning a super bowl and making the Hall. So will Dilfer / Brad Johnson / Mark Rypien make the Hall? Vince Young will have to completely change his game to ever be considered.

I just find it really funny that people are bedazzled by Young's ability to run, so much so they ignore his glaring shortcomings in the pocket. He's Vick part 2. (just a nicer version)
Look at Vick's stats...in 01 his team went 7-9 (granted he didn't have a lot of playing time in most of the games that year so he wasn't much of a factor), in 02 his team went 9-6-1, in 03 his team had 5 wins total, but he only played in 5 games (weeks 13-17) and went 3-2 in that span. 04 the Falcons under Vick went 11-5. So I guess all Vick does is win too. (when he's not in jail). The similarities are quite similar, yet most think Vick is a poor QB. Vick puts up better passing numbers and rushing numbers than VY, so why is everyone so eager to jump on VY's bandwagon, but jumped off Vick's bandwagon (before he was sent to jail anyway)?
