Offtopic but what happened to Ramonce Taylor? I remember alot of people liked this guy as a prospect.
|
He had a tryout in Febuary with the Chiefs and they were thinking about signing him to play special teams, but he was arrested shortly after for violating his parole (2 positive drug tests among others) and sentenced to 5 months in jail.

The way I look at that knee/pitch thing in the rose bowl is this - if he fumbled that instead of pitching and USC took it back the other way, would it have been ruled down before the fumble? I don't know if it would have been. From that picture there, it looks to me like he may have technically lost possession. But then perhaps that's just an exceptionally blurry picture.

Somehow I can see him getting back into the starting lineup. He was thrown to the wolves too early, but the emergence of collins, or rather, re-emergence gives the coaches the opportunity to see what he struggles with in the NFL and adjust that.

The Titans have had success with QB's turned WR's like Drew Bennett and Justin Gage...
Not sayin', just sayin'...

Okay, now that that's done; what does the future hold for the 2006 OROY? The Titans have been the definition of a steady ship since he lost the wheel. As far back as 2006 there have been voices in the crowd proclaiming the defense the real reason behind the Titans' resurgence and that's borne out as the truth.
Does that mean Vince is worthless to the Titans? Is he done with them? Kerry Collins is a million years old and barring a Jim Plunkett scenario they are going to need a QB eventually and I think it's fair to ask at this point if VY is their long term solution.
His ceiling is still extremely high, but now you have to throw head issues into the pot with "funky release", "inconsistent ball placement" and "questionable decision making." Is this the QB of a team that is going to be defense oriented, run first, for the forseeable future? Even allotting that he matures with time, I'm not sure we'll ever see consistency from him at the level a vet like Kerry provides.
I'm not trying to hate on VY, but personally I think the writing is on the wall for him in TN and props to them because they're 9-0 with a 3rd overall pick parked on their bench and a 6th overall pick in Goodell's purgatory.
So where does he go? Who would want him? There are plenty of teams without long term solutions at QB, so let's look at what might fit him.
KC: Herm Edwards is a players' coach and they're a young developing team, so I could maybe see it happening. However, Thigpen is playing lights out and they're likely to draft a QB high anyway.
Houston: The hometown team has been up and down, but mostly down, with Schaub. Who knows, but maybe.
Jets: Yeah right. But I'm going through the divisions in my head and once Favre retires, Clemmens doesn't exactly have a lock on the job. But if the media scrutiny was too intense in freaking Tennessee...
San Fran: Bizarre fit but the Shaun Hill era doesn't exactly have a great ring to it. Martz's presence obviously kills his shot here but the likelihood of Martz staying in any job more than a couple seasons is pretty low. They've had some success with mobile QBs though, I've heard. :) Then again, they tend to be accurate ones, which VY is not.
Buccaneers: Gruden+Young=no.
Carolina: I'm gonna give Delhomme the benefit of the doubt here and say he's not close to being done by a long shot.
Minnesota: Not likely after the Tarvaris Jackson experiment.
Detroit: I'm not sure but if Calvin gets a vote the answer is probably no. He played with Reggie Ball for too long.
Chicago: Is neckbeard the answer?
So if you've managed to get all the way down here, here's my question to you: is there a starting spot for Vince Young somewhere in the league? How much more developing will he be doing--how drastically have our expectations of him changed? Will he ever redeem himself?

Funny how a chargers fan is bashing someone on another team for crying and being emo...........

1. because it's fun to see titan fans freak out
2. just because
3. bashing players on other teams is about 80% of this board anyways
4. see 2
5. because I thought it was funny, thus it was justified IMO.
6. this thread FINALLY gives me a proper home for the crying black guy picture that I've wanted to use on -black, but he left before I got the chance.

Well you thought bashing VY was funny, I found a chargers fan bashing him for the reason he was crying was funny considering Lt cries and pouts about everything.

You say that as if it's against the norm for a young person to have moments of immaturity.
Fact of the matter is that since the media overblew the events after VY's injury, Vince has done nothing to contradict that he's willing to be humbled in favor of the team's success. Yet, people still focus on one moment of understandable weakness and frustration, and call him immature and a baby for it.

I don't even think this thread is bashing: I put up the emo kid pic to "get it out of the way" because I specifically didn't want this thread to devolve into Vince bashing.
Which it has.
So great job on my part. I swear I just wanted to start up a legit discussion about the future of VY. I got called out for being too homerish so I'm trying to put it to bed by talking about something else I find interesting.
And stay away from LT, it's off topic and there's absolutely no comparison between a locked in hall of famer and Vince Young.
AQ: hey I'm just happy you remember my old sn.

lol I think most people who've been here for longer than a few months remember the original you :D
Also, since we're being serious, I do think the titans will try their best to straighten Young out, I'm just not entirely sure it'll work.

Fisher is a smart guy and he has plans for younf boyond this season, right now he is watching collins and learning how to manage the game. If they could get a qb coach to work on vinces biggest weakness,(imo) his mechanics , then he has a very bright future ahead of him.
