Titans 30 Jaguars 13: The Vince Young Difference
No one has been harder on Vince Young over the past year and a half than I have. I have hammered him time and time again, but it is now time for me to give him his due. He played a very good game yesterday. The Titans will take 15-18 for 125 with 1 touchdown and no interceptions from VY every week because it means a couple of things:
- The running game is working well
- Vince didn't put them in any tough spots with turnovers
He looked yesterday like a guy who had taken his time off to study the offense and learn everything he could. By my count, he only made two bad throws and only one of those was a bad decision. Again, the Titans will take that every week.
All of those things are good, but the biggest difference VY makes was seen on two plays in particular yesterday. The first came in the second quarter with the Titans facing a 3rd and 3 from the Jacksonville 10 yard line. Vince dropped back to pass, saw nothing was open and scrambled for 4 yards to keep the drive alive. Two plays later the threw a perfect fade to Nate Washington for a touchdown.
The other play came in the 3rd quarter with the Titans facing a 3rd and 6. Vince was able to move around in the pocket to keep the play alive and find Kenny Britt for a 7 yard gain and the first down. Chris Johnson went 52 yards for a touchdown on the next play. Both of those drives are probably dead with Kerry Collins under center.
Now the key for Vince is stringing performances like this one together over the final 10 games of the season. Here's to hoping he can.

Trying to stay excited
I’ve been riding high since the win, but I’m having trouble staying excited.
Vince played well, but can he continue to do so?
The Jags got zero pressure on VY (minus the one play mentioned above); they have to have one of the worst pass rushes in football.
I can’t help but wonder how VY will react to pressure.

I have to think better than Collins
VY is more mobile clearly.
As long as he doesn’t panic when under pressure and make crazy throws resulting in turnovers, he’s going to be better when pressured than KC. The problem was that he turned it over too often when pressured previously, but yesterday he looked very confident. If he can keep some poise against a better pressure team, he’ll be fine.
In the preseason game I went to, VY played a fair amount and I thought he looked really comfortable. Same thing in this game. 49ers are playing well and gave Manning some headaches. Should be a great test for Vince.

Next week
Next week we face a pretty good team in the 49ers. We’ll see how Vince does then. I’m hoping he can keep this going.

they were able to do to manning what nobody else has done this year.
kept him all bottled up. They were one good drive at the end away from beating them in Indy. The handled them quite well. but if they put that kind of pressure on vince we might be in for a long day.

But Indy doesn't pound the rock.
They run okay, but they’re not in the class with the great running teams. The Titans are. This is why the KC, throwing-on-a-wing-and-a-prayer offense was so mind-boggling.
Look, the 49er’s are a good team, yes. But they are also on a 3-game losing streak. I’m not saying that this is a definite can-win game. In fact, I’m not sure the Titans can win. But the 49er’s are NOT unstoppable or anything.

The 49ers were 2nd in YPC Defense going into yesterday
So they are pretty good at stopping the run. Much better than Jacksonville.
In first were the Cardinals, who got destroyed on the ground, so it’s clearly possible to run well against good run defenses.

This team ran well against Pittsburgh. They've also run well against Baltimore.
Even when they play like crap in all other facets, CJ gets his. I mean, I agree that this will be a much tougher game, my only point is that they should be okay if they will commit to the run.

I'm not disagreeing
Willis is a beast in the mold of early decade Ray Lewis, without that whole killing a guy (allegedly) thing.
CJ could break a long run against any team at any time.
Alex Smith looked pretty good yesterday, only making 3 or 4 bad throws. He likes to look for Vernon Davis, and Crabtree doesn’t look like he missed the first 5 games. He’s gonna be really good.

manning isn't mobile out of the pocket
even if the pocket breaks down, vince can (hopefully) escape and find an open scaife/crump/cook if the wrs are decently covered…or he can run for a few yards. 49ers cant play the same way they played against the colts, we are a totally different type of team. I think they will have trouble trying to decipher whether we’re going to run the ball with CJ, run the ball with Lendale, or run a pass play but end up running with Vince..or actually passing the ball. Our offensive line just gotta stay upright long enough for a quick play to develop. Nonetheless..it will be a good test for sure and I am very looking forward to seeing what kind of Titans team shows up.

the play to britt
is one of the most impressive pass plays i have ever seen out of vince. he’s made bigger plays, for sure. but that was one of the most difficult throws on 3rd down you can make and he nailed it under pressure. you also have to be excited about it because Vince and Kenny seem to have formed a pretty good connection in an incredibly short amount of time. that play required that both QB and WR be in the same headspace and they were. beautiful.
now the trick is consistency, which has always dogged VY in the pros. he has to do what he did yesterday 80-90% of the time. getting 275 rushing yards in support sure didn’t hurt, and games against good teams will not allow him the luxury of playing it so safe, but it was great to see that vince can be that efficient, even if it was the most favorable of circumstances.

He had his feet firmly under him all day, even when he had to scramble and then throw.
Up until now, we’d not seen that.

when the ball left his hand I thought it was a pick 6 or at best a bad incompletion. we’ve seen many a interception throwing like that. but it WAS amazing!

Obviously the one concern for Vince is how he plays when teams know we have to pass
Which we will see this year because, well, our defense still sucks. If he plays well and avoids multiple turnovers (one happens) even in a loss, call me a full believer.
I’m so happy we can even discuss a future with Vince though. KEEP PROVING ME WRONG!!! PLEASE!!!

i hope he continues to prove me wrong. i don’t think he can be our franchise qb but he sure made me eat my words yesterday. as long as he manages the game well for now i am perfectly fine with him being our guy. here’s to hoping vince continues to prove me wrong.

So, if could never be our franchise QB,
which I think is probably true, then he is really just out there now to increase his trade value at the end of the season, right? The irony is that if he does win a lot of games, then that lowers our position in the draft to get a franchise QB. Is this a Catch-22?
by JimR on Nov 2, 2009 1:47 PM CST via mobile up reply actions 0 recs
How many guys look like franchise QBs at this point though?
Even if you forget Bradford’s health issues, will there be anyone else that’s worth rolling the dice and several million dollars on in the top ten picks?
After last year I think you still have to believe that this team isn’t far away at all from being good now – if Vince keeps improving, I think the Titans have better odds at winning with him that hitting the reset button with Bradford/Jake Locker/Jimmy Clausen/whoever.

as soon as he has a not so great game, your back to grabbing your pitchfork huh? and he just didnt manage the game yesterday, he MADE PLAYS. and if he didnt do what he did to move the chains or pick up the extra yards there is no chance for alot of those plays CJ broke off. something that never happened with KC under center, im not one to gloat, because it is just one game. but im more excited to see him develop more and take the strides forward to being the leader of this team, and i did see glimpses of it yesterday, perhaps alot of you didnt. and that is the problem, alot of ppl are not seeing the whole picture.

But I’m also not a hater (not pointing the finger here).
But I find it interesting that one has to continue to prove himself time and time again ad infinitum to be called great but only has to quit once to be labeled a quitter.

Sorry for the outburst, Jimmy, but I thought
you were one of the people calling for us to stop re-hashing history over and over and over. Whatever Vince did in the past, whether it’s his victories in college or his low point last year, is over and done. The question is where is he now and for the rest of the season.

Having the head coach come over to the bench to tell him to get back in the
game is not a good thing. He should have been running back out on the field after a pick to prove that he can overcome it rather than sit and sulk because of the displeasure from the fans. VY gets paid MILLIONS of dollars to play a game. How long would you last at your job if your boss asked you to do something and you didn’t want to. Not only that, he disappeared and never apologized for his actions. Yes he quit on the team, and to say he didn’t is just not acknowledging the truth.

He will always be known for quitting last year.
I didn’t create that reputation for him, he did it to himself. It happened, he disappeared and the coach had to call the authorities. You said he didn’t quit. YES HE DID. You are the one who is blind to that FACT. He also talked of retiring on two different occassions. Is that the definition of a winner or someone who handles adversity with grace ? When the going gets tough, he looks to retire. Leaders don’t do that garbage and still get respect from people they play with. Bud Adams invested a ton of money into this guy and I can’t blame him for wanting to see how his investment works out. That is his right as the owner, but I honestly don’t see it working out long term.
Maybe he has matured this offseason, I don’t know. One could only hope, I sure wouldn’t count it. So which guy will you see when he loses or do you think he is going to win every game from now on?

DID YOU SEE THE SAME VY YOU SAW LAST YEAR?? no, why, B/C IT WAS LAST YEAR!! ppl can change, you might actually have something smart to say one of these days, who knows. yes he will struggle, its the NFL, everybody struggles. but do i think he has matured more since his “quitter” days, absolutely, try and remember that these players are ppl too. im not gonna make a charity case for VY, but one CAN be made if you know his past history. if a quitter took the field yesterday, seeing all the emotions and leadership qualities that he showed, shit….then give me a quitter. your argument is going nowhere b/c VY just proved you wrong yesterday, will he win every game for the rest of the season? that’s a tall order for ANY QB, even your traditional whi…..passing QB. if you quit your job at mcdonalds tomorrow, your not gonna be there in the future making the food for the customers and everything are you? no, b/c you quit and decided you didnt want to do that anymore. and last time i checked, VY was still in the NFL and behind center for our first victory of the season. if he had quit, he wouldnt be here. and maybe you should get a room….with common sense. and the post about griff not being over his problems apparently (he played pretty damn good except for that missed tackle and almost being burned, ITS THE NFL!), WTF was that about, shows what kind of ppl there are out there.

It has NOTHING to do with him being black or being from Texas because you are sure to go their next. It has to do with him and his ability to GROW up and behave like a man and NOT a spoiled child. If he has great, it will serve to make him better, if not then you will see more of the same. GET IT, I doubt it. I am in Griffin’s corner all the way. I like the guy, a whole lot. It was not slamming him in the least. I hope all the best for Michael Griffin because I know what a talent he is. It is uncharacheteristic of him to blow plays. I truly hope he is over his personal issues because I haven’t seen him play like he has this year. He is a man among men, admitting his poor play and wanting to get things right. I RESPECT that!

Wow you are a fickle one,
at the slightest hint of succes you are willing to proclaim him the SAVIOUR of the universe. Get over yourself already and accept the facts. You CAN"T , that is YOUR problem, stop being a jerk about it. I am willing to forgive players when they are truly sorry for their STUPID actions.

By the way, I don't work at McDonalds.
I trade stocks for a living. My husband and I happen to own 4 homes as well, so I do not work at Mcdonalds and I will not disrespect anyone who does. I am very busy with the things I need to do and don’t have time for that. It looks like you have an utter lack of respect for the common worker though. Also, I did not attack Michael Griffin, I am very much in his corner. He is a man among men who ADMITS his mistakes and learns and grows from them. The slightest hint of success from VY and you are willing to proclaim him the saviour of the universe. Get over it and see what happens when he loses.

for some reason...
I kept calling Nate Washington ‘Nasty Nate’ during the last game.
Then someone said… I wan’tcho cocktail… FRUIT
thought it was pretty funny…
but nate had a much better game. Can’t wait for the NFL replay it’s been too damn long.

oh my god shutup already. youre not even close to a titans fan you are more upset at them winning than if vince had sucked and theyd lost. vince came back after “disappearing”, we wont hold you to those same standards if you decide to emulate him.

VY
Looked great on his drop backs… Looked like he’s been working from under center his whole life… Must have put a lot of work in on that.
Decision making, just wow! Once he finished his drop he got the ball out on time or if nobody was open he took off right away. No indecisiveness… Beautiful thing.
Only questionable decision was that deep throw down the sideline that Cox should’ve picked… Why throw that pass?

true but....
it is sooooo refreshing that, when vince gets out of the pocket….something great happens….vs….when Kerry gets flushed out of the pocket….something ugly happens….every time

im pretty sure.....
VY thought he was gonna be going to the corner of the endzone harder than the effort he actually put. agree that he should make sure the jets are on, just an opinion though.

what ive come to know.....
is that if you put a leader on the field, players will follow and step up, especially when they see their QB making plays, picking up first downs, and putting his heart into it. which ultimately led to the defense wanting to play harder (they sure did get the rest they needed), receivers hanging on to balls (did ya see the focus gage put into that one specific catch in the middle of the field), and players willing to give it all to make a play. VY did give this team a huge spark whether ppl want to believe it or not. there just isnt any giving up with vince despite what has happened in the past and what ppl say. not many qb’s would want to go out and play like he did after the treatment he received from the fans last year, but he didnt care about that, he still worked hard to gain the fans trust back. and i think he will continue to work hard, what the outcome of all that will be has yet to be seen, but im more than on board to see what is in store. i saw things in yesterdays game from vince that i havent seen from KC, VY looked like the leader of this football team, not like KC where he makes a mistake he just walks over to the bench emotionless. you see the emotion from vince whether its celebrating a good play, or beating himself up for a bad play. if ppl think this man doesnt love the game or doesnt play with pure passion, then im sorry, you are dead wrong. actions speak louder than words. vince still needs to work on the things he did do wrong yest, but im sure that is being taken care of as we congregate at MCM. this is a whole different offense with VY in the mix, and i just hope that he can lead us to more W’s and continue to progress. he doesnt want to let the fans down, the coaches, his teammates and most importantly….steve(rip). cant wait for next weeks test, it will give VY the kind of experience he needs to continue this season. lets go titans!

vince did great but
i still feel somebody has to answer for the 0 and 6 start to the season. i think we won yesterday because of the owner. i think starting vince young gave the team the spark that they needed. to bad fisher couldnt see that on his own. i like fisher alot, but i think somebody has to answer for the mistakes.

Nice first step
I too have ripped on VY for quitting last year, but yesterday’s performance was an example of his growth as a player and leader. He made plays with his arm and legs, the throw to Nate for a TD was awsome. I agree with others about the 3rd down thow to Britt, no way does KC makes that play. The team definately played wtih emotion yesterday which has been sorely missing. Not sure in Vince deserves all the credit for that but hey QB’s get blamed for stuff beyond their controll so they should get some for when things go good. Bottom line is the Titans looked more like the team of the last year than this and that is a good thing.
On another front, it looks like we have a punter. Now if we can shore up the kick coverage.

He's STILL a winning NFL qb
The guy can play, he has exceptional gifts, and appears to have grown up a little bit (which has been the “issue” during this past year). He brought what Collins hasn’t all year: confident leadership at the position. Keep it going, Vince.

Let's just have fun the rest of the year.
We know we’re not going to make the playoffs.
We know, the chances of winning every game are slim.
But, we’re off to a new start at 1-0 after the bye.
We finally have some excitement. Let’s just wish the best for everyone on the team.
We can deal with decisions on VY, Fisher, KC, and anyone else when the season ends. :)

The honeymoon's over...
Okay, you guys all sobered up now? Good!! Alright, it’s time to prepare for San Fran. And hey CJ…as great of a game as you had against the Jags…it’s all going to be history come Sunday!! Question’s going to be …is the OL going to show up like they did last Sunday…and are you going to be able to repeat your performance against the 49ers. I know, I know, it’s not fair…it seems like you should be able to rest on your laurels…but you can’t…that’s life. It’s what have you done for me lately? At least that’s what my boss tells me.
