Vince Young added to Pro Bowl roster
VY replaces Philip Rivers. This will be his second career Pro Bowl, his other being his rookie season. Vince joins Chris Johnson and Kevin Mawae for the AFC team. After Matt Schaub being added to the roster earlier today, if the Colts lose to the Jets, the three quarterbacks for the AFC in the Pro Bowl are all AFC South QBs.

woohoo!!
I’m even MORE excited that Big Ben Rapethisburger didn’t make it! (yet – if the colts go super, then he’ll probably be the next replacement)

Even if Peyton wins there will be 3 AFC South QBs
David Garrard is the next one in line for the Pro Bowl.

F that crap
Vince deserves to be there. If anything this is a show that some awards aren’t based purely on stats, but what someone did for a team. I’m actually really happy he made the pro bowl, I think he deserved the come back player of the year award as well he changed that team when given the chance again, but naturally Tom Brady had to win an award for at least something this year (no doubt he has a contract clause stating he’ll at least win one award for something in the NFL each year)

Okay, then which other QB deserves to be there?
Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Tom Brady, Matt Schaub, Ben Roethlisberger, and Carson Palmer were voted higher than Vince.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brady Quinn, Kyle Orton, David Garrard, Matt Cassel, Chad Henne, Mark Sanchez and Jamarcus Russell were the quarterbacks voted lower than Vince.
Which one of those QBs should have made it over Vince then?

honestly for being his first year starting chad henne really impressed me
by Texan Youngster on Jan 20, 2010 7:49 PM CST up reply actions
Because none of his numbers are particularly impressive?
I like Carson, but the Bengals really had a limited passing game in 2009. Ocho had over a thousand yards, only one other player had over 500, and that was Coles.
Housh would’ve really helped.

well even if his numbers werent impressive smashville says that he was voted higher than vince so why isnt he an alternate

Palmer may have declined
the invite.
I dunno.

Agreed and rec'd FSU
The Bengals coaching staff was NOT paticularly imaginitive when it came to scheme and play calling. The do so little from a personnel and formation standpoint that a GOOD college coach could easily prepare for their offense.
The guys who were voted higher were, I think, at least as good and mostly better than VY.
Don’t get me wrong: VY played very well for the most part. But he was pedestrian—at best—against the Colts, and when the Titans really needed a game against San Diego, he dropped his only real BOMB of the season.
That said, he definitely played better than the other guys on that list, and more to the point, he’s a good draw for the Pro-Bowl because he’s such an interesting and exciting player. Who knows? Maybe it’ll be a good game.

he was on the bench and really didnt have a probowl season. i mean he did have that good game against cardinals but thats it

Then ground him from the computer for trolling.
The internet should be like driving. 16 year old minimum, and a test beforehand. It wouldn’t eliminate all the idiots, but it would damn sure thin them out.
That "good game"
featured a 99 GW touchdown drive in the final 2 minutes.
Pretty damned good.

Good for Vince.
The pro bowl is still a joke, but good for Vince.

good for vince though. it’ll be a confidence booster headed into next season.

these are all legitimate questions im not trying to be a troll i have not bad mouthed no one or even judged anyone for there opinion. I read an article bout it and came to the blog to ask questions and state my opinion isnt that what this blog is for
by Texan Youngster on Jan 20, 2010 9:23 PM CST reply actions
You said Vince doesn’t deserve to be there… sounds like bad mouthing to me, granted it my be your opinion, but you came to a Titans blog to say negative things about one of the only reasons the Titans ended 8-8. Like it or not he’s our future qb, don’t get mad when you post something negative about him and then you get backlash for it.
no the real reason was because chris jonhson ran like crazy against the whole league

i said i have not bad mouth an individual i can have my own opinion about a player thats different

they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
make a venn diagram if you’d like. your opinion on this subject could very well overlap with that of “badmouthing.”
you were one of the texans fans who were bitter when they picked mario williams weret you.

can anyone really say he had a pro bowl season though thats the basis of my argument
by Texan Youngster on Jan 20, 2010 9:50 PM CST reply actions
can anyone say that T-Mac or AI deserve to be going to an all star game?
sure it’s a different sport, but you, im assuming, being from houston and, presumably being a rockets fan should know that tracy mcgrady is going to an all-star game despite the fact that he’s played only a few more minutes in the NBA than i have this year.
the voting system is ridiculously flawed for every sport, this we know that, but people voted for vince because they wanted to see him succeed and this season was the perfect excuse to finally vote him in after leaving him for dead two years ago. as we know, it’s all about the fans because that’s where the money is. so in those terms, the terms that if he got in, more people would watch, yes, he had a pro bowl season.
plus, all the dude does is win! that’s gotta count for something.

VY may not have...
posted the numbers on his stat line that some others did, bu I will tell you what he DID do.
VY tunred this team around from a 0 win team to an 8 win team.
VY added a dynamic to our O that helped CJ get his 2k yards.
VY gave hope to a fan base that didn’t have any reason to cheer in the early season.
VY united the haters and fanbois under one flag again (for the most part).
VY gave us a reason to look forward to next season.
VY proved a lot of people wrong and salvaged what I hope will be a long glorious career.
VY became OUR QB of the future damnit and I am glad to see him there. Sometimes pure stats aren’t the only reason a player gets recognized. If it was all based on stats Manning would be home making his horrible whiney face wondering why CJ or Drew Brees had the MVP instead of him.

TITAN in WV
amen brother amen…. finally somone acknowledged the reason why he was put on the roster.. .. i missed out on geting his rookie year pro bowl jersey so im gonna jump on it and get me one this year.. TITANS2010 were coming for that ass
It's amusing how insecure some people are
They act like VY going to the Pro Bowl means that everyone is biased for him. He had a good year, but he’s going because so many QB’s pulled out. I’m happy for him, but I don’t have this fantasy that he should go to the Pro Bowl under normal circumstances. Yet, it’s “OMG VY TO THE PRO BOWL HE DIDN’T DESERVE IT THE WORLD IS ENDING!!”
by TheElusiveShadow on Jan 21, 2010 6:58 AM CST reply actions
How bout these numbers...
QB’s this year with a better winning % than Vince: Manning, Brees, Rivers. That’s it.
And?
That shouldnt matter with pro bowl elections

Vince Young doesnt deserve to go
But after all the dropouts, he deserves to go over who is left.

Why shouldn't it have been Orton?
He had better numbers than Vince.
I'm happy for VY.
It’s always good to have more Titans in the pro bowl.
I am curious why so many are bowing out though. Is it because it’s not in Hawaii?
They are bowing out
because of injuries. Although Brady seems to cancel any time he doesn’t win the Super Bowl. But Rivers, Palmer, Roethlisberger are injury related I believe. If Peyton goes to Super Bowl I guess they’ll stick Flacco in there. God who would have thought Matt Schaub would be in the Pro Bowl because HE’S healthy. He must have been on HGH all year.
"Oh, you should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about." Gene Wilder - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
you guys are out if control
we all know he is in there cause other qbs dont wanna go or are injured we get it .. dont hate VY cause he taking the offer to play with some of the best players in the NFL just let it be.. he our qb of the future lets hope he learns something that"ll help his game out by playing with some of those guys out there.. or hope he gets something out of it… for stepping in after our bye and helping us back in the hunt after a 0-6 start i think he deserves it from a titan fan point of view.
Missing from all this
VY comments that he was working out with CJ when he got the news. I’m happy for him that he’s going to the Pro Bow, regardless of how he got there, I think this is the icing on the cake of coming out from the ashes. Years from now nobody will remember how he got to there, but that he was part of the 2010 Pro Bowl.
But reading that he’s been true to his word of keep working is giving me hope for good things this next season.
I'm not a VY fanboy, I'm a VY supporter
I don't feel he deserved to go. IT is only by default that it is happening. I know he made
some progress this past season, but overall I feel he will be a bust. I did not see the Colts game, but I did see the Chargers game, and that combined with the Seahawks game does not give me confidence that he is going to beanything more than average.
