2008 Titans

I really really really wish the Titans would have took Cutler instead of Young. How long will it take before Bud and Fisher admit that he was a bust and draft another QB? This guy is not an NFL QB, I wish him nothing but the best though.

He just can't get the timing down. Funny how our receivers knew where the ball was going to be and caught it for big YAC when Collins was in.

there's an adverse side to that as well though. Remember, young's rookie year was a contract year for fisher. Alot of young's ability to run around that year was what made up for an inept offense and allowed the team to get to 8-8.

Had they drafted cutler instead, odds are the team gets 3-6 wins, fisher is fired (and ends up in dallas or somewhere) and the 2008 titans - rather than being a playoff contender - are in the second year of coach joe shmo's building process or the second year of adapting to his playing style: simply put it'd be a 2nd year coach and his not good team

Cutler would definitely be a better qb for the team right now, but it's kinda funny, cause had they drafted him 06 wouldnt have happened and this year's team wouldnt even be looking at the playoffs

I disagree with that. I will take my chances with an accurate passer over an overhyped scrambler any day. Young made some good plays that season, but things just seemed to go right for them to get into the playoffs. I mean how many times would that Giants defender make those kind of bonehead plays? Young cant handle criticism, he can't handle pressure, and he can't make an accurate pass to save his life. But, to his defense our WR's are world beaters by any means.

After watching his progression (the lack thereof) it just seems like he can't grasp the offense and the check downs you expect from an NFL QB. Timing is a big problem but I think that stems from Young's inability to think and react quickly. This is a pivotal year for him, between his inability so far and his injury I don't know if they can afford to go into next year without a solid back up plan for the future.

Bad thing is this coming draft should shape up pretty well as far as receivers go and I was pretty sure we would see a WR picked in the first three rounds by us. If we have to draft a young QB to groom as a possible replacement for Young I don't see that happening.

Not to mention we are blowing our window of opportunity to compete for the championship, our defense will not be able to perform at this level for another four or five years the way we are set up right now.

Great D is being wasted with VY at qb. It's time to move on after this season.

I certainly enjoyed hearing how "Mr. t.u." up held his alma mater's classiness by declining to take the feild. Hate to see him hurt, but what a self righteous tool.

Stay classy ego centric Mack Brown products!

He was freakin' hurt. Is this a joke..? He's out 3-4 weeks with a pretty bad MCL sprain... it's not like he was faking his injury so he wouldn't have to go back in.

i'm talkin about the 06 8-8 season when they didnt make it to the playoffs though, not last year's 10-6 season. The season where they started off either 0-4 or 1-5 and it was an assured thing that adams was going to fire fisher before the season was even halfway over. They did have some luck then too, but i think that cutler's rookie year (although he's the better qb now) he would have only won 3-4 games and the team would have a new hc and be in shambles now...

i'm not trying to defend vy and cutler's definitely better this year; but i think that without young's rookie year performance (the 8-8 Rookie of the year one) the coaching staff isnt retained and they're coached by zorn or someone and among other things, they dont have their stout defense w/o schwartz and fisher....that year's play by young kept adams from firing fisher, which allowed the team to get to this point

that being said, at this point if they had cutler they'd be a much better team....given they had some better wideouts too

Yeah, ummmmm, he was asked to go back in the game after a quick 3 and out by his defense and ummmm, he told his coach no. Then after some prying and a little "private meeting" he went back in and got hurt. So basically he pouted like a spoiled media darling that he was designed to be, then got his ego stroked, then got injured on the next attempted drive. There ya go.

All of this stuff just backs up the rumor that he was thinking of quitting football this offseason.

I must admit that I wanted Vince when they drafted him. I was wrong. Jay Cutler is head and shoulders above VY or Matt Lienart.

Me too. The main reason I wanted Vince was because the type of offense we run, he was a much better fit, sadly it looks like Young is going to bust.

He either cannot or will not adjust to the pro game!

VY? Meh.

Maybe more stock will be put into wonderlic scores in the future.

But I still love this defense.

Pretty sure that's all just a load of crap unless you show some proof - because I hadn't heard it yet... not saying you're wrong.. just hard to believe without some proof that's what happened and those were the exact circumstances.

He was pouting on the sideline after the pick. I know that much.
