I'd pay to see a lot of people here try to run a franchise, or coach a team.

Hey, that might actually be a cool idea for a show, SmootSmack you need to bubble this up to some of your peeps at ESPN.

#1- Never said I'd make a better GM.
#2- if they did make a show I would sign up for it in a freakin minute.
#3- if it does happen and I do make it, I will charge you 1 million dollars because, and I quote you, "I would pay anything to see that".
#4- there are VERY FEW people in the world that knows football more than I do. I live it...all of it.

Re: Vince Young overrated?

I guess the real question should be, why do people blindly think Young is good? I have offered stat after stat and none were refuted, so why ignore it all?

I surrender. Everyone except you jsarno has their blinders on. If only just about the entire NFL could see past the B.S., they would all realize that they are wrong, you are right, and Vince Young sucks.

He blows. He's like a huge Fat Head Doll nobody can tackle. Like a Fat Head QB running back with a worst throwing motion in history. I loved his come back against the G-men last year though......

Re: Vince Young overrated?

I think of Vince Young and go... "meh". Overrated? Underrated? More like, "well, I'm glad my team's fate isn't tied to the guy".

He's obviously so popular because of the Cinderella aspect of the Rose Bowl game, but I don't think he'll ever be a franchise QB. I always think of Young as a Mike Vick-style QB who's more dialed down on the run-first side and more dialed-up on the passing game.

And without the dog-killing and pot busts.

Re: Vince Young overrated?

I saw a lot of the game and I can say VY got no help from his WRs. Drops all over the place.

Is there a way to see how many official drops they had? I can't seem to find a place where they keep that stat.

How many drops do you think they had? (keep in mind, just because the ball hits a hand doesn't mean it's a drop, a drop is something that is easily catchable, but not caught.)

I saw two on one drive, one coming in the end zone.

You can't break down individual games with this, but you can look at totals in targets and "passes not caught" which is not actually the same as a "drop" since it includes both incomplete passes the receiver couldn't catch and drops the receiver should have caught but didn't.

Then you also saw just how pathetic a majority of his throws were?

I didn't watch the game...but I would wager your comments hold true since he usually has poor throws.

Jsarno, I've got to wonder why you get so emotional about Vince Young and where your hatred of him comes from.

Well, I do live in Texas Longhorn country.

Again, I don't hate him...just his game. He's the most overrated player since Vick came out of college, and a top 5 ever.
