    One of the most overrated players in the NFL alongside Reggie Bush. Tennessee still somehow wins a good amount of games with him though so I guess he must be doing something right.

    there's talk he's going to retire. The Titans are planning to use Kerry Collins as the starter for this year, and I think they just signed Chris Simms.

    They win because they play good D and have a good running game, all he has to do is not make mistakes, but he threw 2 INT's on Sunday. I will say this, he was one of the best High School QB's in the history of Texas and I saw him play every game here in Austin at UT and he was a BAD ASS college QB. In the NFL he needs to LISTEN to the coaches, don't make mistakes and it will come around. As far as him being a drama queen, well that's just a product of the way U.T. babies their players, Mack Brown is BAD at doing that.

    That was kinda my point - these guys get pampered their whole lives and told how great they are. Then, at the first sign of adversity -BAWAAWAAAWAAA!

    Remember when he said he wanted to retire after his rookie season because he didn't think the NFL was going to be as tough as it is?? Clearly he's not an emotionally stable guy, like another Longhorn superstar we remember that had worlds of potential then just fizzled out...yes, I'm talking about Toronto Argonauts great Rickey Williams.

    Remember Cedric Benson? Yeah, I already almost forgot about him too.

    Sorry, I still don't buy the whole double threat behind center. Young had great success in college because he was the best athlete on the field pretty much every game. The NFL is too fast and hit to hard for guys like this to win the championship. Pure pocket passers are still the way to go.

    Need some examples?

    Cunningham (the original double threat), Vick, McNabb, Young, Akili Smith, etc.....0 championships. All were thought to be the next generation of QB's. I'll give McNabb credit, he came close....but folded when the game was on the line.

    Vince Young....the new Ryan Leaf

    I wouldn't give a fuck who booed me if I was paid that kind of dough...hell, I am in the public eye in my job and get my fair share of criticism and I could really give a shit and I work for peanuts
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Honestly, not to play dime-store psychologist.... but it sounds like Vince Young has some medical/emotional issues. Bipolar or ADD or somesuch.

    or maybe McNabb was cheated out of his super bowl. and McNabb is not done yet so don't rule out him winning one just yet.

    Steve Young won a championship and could run as well as any QB to play the game

    Other than McNabb the other QB's you mentioned cannot read defenses that well..that is why they can't compete or win not because they like to run too much

    You can put a spy on running QB's and they're done if they can't read defenses..McNabb hasn't been that first to run 2nd pass guy in awhile
