Vince Young, so far, is 19-11 as a starter and that is a WINNER. You also have to take into account his rushing touchdowns, rushing yards, and his ability to; convert 3rd downs, time of possession for his offense (thus rest the defense), and keep offensive drives alive. This include his ability to scramble and avoid sacks. He also confuses defenses and keeping an eye on Vince, opens up chances for the RBs, TEs, and WRs to make plays too. You can pass for 250 yards, and still lose games. A QB can pad his stats in the 4th quarter to look good, while his team has lost the game. You have to do more than look at passer rating, but look at the complete performance of a mobile quarterback. You have to understand what stats mean to a game and winning. At 19-11, so far, Vince is a winning QB getting the job done when put in as a starter. What Merril Hoge said about Vince Young is just very bias irrational garbage. Hondo, you are delusional.

Hoge is an astute observer of the NFL who tells it like it is. VY will likely never be a successful NFL passer, period. He has lots of athletic ability, no doubt. But it takes more than that to be a championship NFL QB. You have to read coverages and deliver the ball, and he can't. At least not yet, and doubtful if ever. Want to hear more ranting from Merril about VY (and Leinart)? He was on the morning show on WDVE-FM (Pittsburgh) on Sept. 10, 2008 after all the news about VY broke. Check out the audio from the podcast : http://www.dve.com/cc-common/podcast.html Yeah, who’s delusional now? Hoge is an astute observer of the NFL who tells it like it is.

Vince Young is the worst quarterback to ever start a game in the NFL. You are the delusional one. Looks like Merril Hoge has been vindicated.

He is probaby furious, considering Cutler did not perform like he said he would. Hogey has been one of Young's biggest critics, Jaws has already admited being wrong about Vince Young. Like many of us who have seen Young throughout his career, we already believe. You look even further when Skip Bayless time after time would trash Young as well, now Skip is one of Young's biggest supporters, he believes now. Soon and very soon I expect someday to see Hogey wearing a Vince Young Jersey when he leads the Titans to the playoffs next season. Much of the hate stems from the fact that Hogey hates to be wrong.

Just another reason for the world to hate Texas, haha. Incidentally, I have all the respect in the world for Peyton, but Eli has been looking like scared child as of late.

Congrats. But yeah, I agree. Vince is getting more done than Leinart with less talent. I read somewhere that Hoge is just upset with the Titans organization because they basically ended his career. I would have thought he was just a USC lover. Kese, I think you officially get the award for the longest sentence ever on this site. Congrats.
