Yes, they are 3-2, but as I have pointed out before, they would have lost had Scobee not got hurt in week 1 vs the Jags because the Jags were in the redzone twice and couldn't kick field goals that would have won them the game. The other two wins were vs doormats in Atlanta and New Orleans.

Young in 5 games has thrown for a meezly 703 yards, 3 td's and 6 ints. He does have 129 yards and 1 td rushing. As many analysts have pointed out, it's Tennessee's D that is winning them games. Vince Young is not doing anything to help.

Looking at the stats:
He is dead last in passing yards in regards to ANY player with 5 or more starts.
He's dead last in TD passes for any player with 5 or more starts.
He's 8th worst in the entire league in int's.
He is dead last in passing yards per game for any starter playing 5 or more games.
He has the 2nd worst passer rating for starters with 5 or more starts at 68.0. (Brees is only one worse but he will pass Young soon) Young ranks 39th overall in passer rating, and there are only 32 teams. WOW.
He is on pace to throw for a pitiful 2,249 yards for the season.
He is on pace to throw for a pitiful 9 tds for the season.
He is on pace to throw for a pitiful 19 int's for the season.
2249 yards, 9 tds and 19 ints makes him the worst QB this league has seen in a while.

So how many people still think he's a great player?

Did Vince Young kick your dog or something?

The jury is still out on the guy. I don't think anyone thinks the guy is a great qb. Who said that??? He has no WR's to speak of and he still a young qb as far as total starts go. Judge the guy in his 3rd year.

I think the media as a collective believes its a done deal that he was the best QB in the 2006 draft.

My opinion is that he has a long way to go to prove he isn't the worst of the first rounders. However, with Leinart out for the year, and with Cutler having a good year, this debate will stretch well beyond this year.

I think there's definately some positives about him that we never saw in Stewart or Vick, and I think that's a bad comparison on Jsarno's part. The point is that VY was the 3rd overall pick, and 1st QB off the board...and he just hasn't thrown the ball very well yet. He's making good strides in completion percentage this year, and thats a start, but his Y/A is awful.

So far Leinart has not really shown me anything. He has been average, I guess. The problem is you have a two time NFL MVP and a SB winner sitting on the bench. Plus Warner has outplayed Leinart. On top of that you have a coach and an organization that wants to win now. All those things are going against Leinart and the other QB's in his class do not have to deal with that.

From what I have seen from Cutler and Young is they are up and down just like most young QB's are. Time will tell which of the three become a great NFL QB. My money is on Cutler. I think he shows the most upside of the three.
