He had a good year, but he certainly doesn't deserve to go over Chad Pennington, who in my opinion was the main difference between the 4-12 2005 team and the 10-6 2006 team.

Chad Pennington 313/485 64.5% 3352 yards 6.9 yards/att 17 TDs 16 INTs

Vince Young 184/357 51.5% 2199 yards 6.2 yards/att 12 TD 13 INTs

The probowl selection process is becoming laughable.

They are opposite types of QB's.

Your stats are misleading because you ommited some important game winning stats/ TD's.

Vince Young had 19 TD's and 13 INT's. He also rushed for 552 yards at 6.7 yards per carry and 7 TD's. Why are going to deny Young's 7 rushing td's, because QB's should only be judged by their passing game? He did earn those TD's. Qb's are allowed to run and it is a nice weapon to have, Steve Young had a great career as a mobile QB.

If you add in ALL of their accomplishments in 2006:

C. Pennington had a TOTAL of 17 TD's & 16 INT's & 109 yds rushing

Vince Young had a TOTAL of 19 TD's & 13 INT's & 552 yds rushing

Plus add that Pennington played in three more games than Young and that Young is a rookie. IMO Advantage : Young

The fact that you're a rookie has nothing to do with the pro bowl. Vince Young made it over Tom Brady too. No way that should have happened.

young making it over those other guys is a joke,having said that,I'll probably watch the probowl now because I love seeing what vince can do

Monk should probably be in by now. But Irvin is more deserving than Monk IMO. He was the more dominant receiver. He nearly matched all of Monk's numbers in fewer seasons.

Well, I only gave the passing stats, and although its true that Vince Young does stuff with his legs that helps the Titans win (and you do have to consider this in player eval), Chad Pennington is still the far, far superior QB. At least he was this year. The difference in their completion % is 13%! Vince Young helped win some games, but he was a poor passer which is something you'd expect from a rookie. Not pro bowl caliber.

It's fine to count rushing TDs, but then I think all rushing TDs by any player on the team should be counted.

when u get to the pro bowl when u have more ints than tds something is really wrong

[Luxorreb]

I think Vince Young deserves to go over Chad Pennington. The Titans were nothing without Young. I agree about ROMO. (HE SHOLDN'T BE IN!!!) Let's start tabulatin' after the Wild Card game! ROMO would be a NO show! Grossman instead? no a friggin' chance!

Once Romo was sent there after a few good games (before the blooper of the year), that was established.


Oh well, it's one more week of football...I won't complain too much. It's just an exhibition anyways.

You've got that right.

My Dad being a bills fan, I took him to the bills vs titans game on xmas eve. Right before half time the titans had the ball at like the 50 and it looked like they would just throw up a hail mary pass. Instead young took the snap, rolled out to one sideline, cut clear across the field to the other sideline, and waltz into the endzone. It looked as effortless as his TD runs in the national championship game against USC. It's tough to say he deserves to be in over pennington cuz pennington actually got his team to the playoffs but you cant discredit vince young for what he did this year. He's flat out amazing.

The plays that Vick and Young can make with their legs are flat out astounding. What both of them have yet to prove is that they can throw the ball with some degree of consistency. I really believe that Vince Young will grow as a passer in a manner that Michael Vick never did. He threw consistently in college better than Vick ever did and he seems to understand the game better.

It's just tough this year to look at his stats, look at Pennington's stats and try to say that Young deserved a shot before Pennington did.

I have a feeling most of the people trying to discredit him did not watch many of his games this year or last year. They maybe watched the Redskins vs Titans game where V Young was fairly quiet.

Probably true. However, those same people probably didn't watch Pennington much either.

I'd have to say this one is a toss-up. Pennington was the better passer, and Young had 7 rushing TDs. How can you compare the two? In a tie situation, I'd have to give the nod to the veteran who got his team into the playoffs.
