First Official Rusty vs. VY thread

First, don't hate me. I know the title sounds "trollish" but I think I have a valid thought.

I've been reading a lot of Rusty love on the camp threads over the last few days. And I know how much our fan base wrestles daily with our love/fear relationship with VY. Personally, I believe this will be VY's breakout year - an extension of the progress he made over the majority of last year. However, like a wave gathering height just over the horizon, I can see the Rusty mob starting to bide their time - just waiting for two bad VY games in a row, or maybe just two interceptions in one game. And then, POUNCE!

Kerry Collins is now an afterthought, even though he will be the No. 2. Chris Simms is...Chris Simms. But this Rusty Smith fella, he is damn near intriguing, is he not?

My sincere hope: VY turns the corner and begins the Hall of Fame portion of his career and Rusty becomes his Billy Volek.

But if this year goes the other way...
