NFL Rookie Year of Vince Young
I was excited to see Vince Young play in the NFL. It looks like his critics were totally right: he can't succeed as an NFL quarterback: he wasn't fast enough to evade NFL defenders, and his arm wasn't good enough to win NFL games. So let's look at his sad rookie report card:
- gained the starting QB position for the Titans
- led an 8 of 10 game winning stretch
- led the largest fourth-quarter comeback in the Titans franchise history, the largest fourth-quarter comeback by a rookie quarterback, and the largest comeback with under ten minutes left in a game in NFL history (11/26/06 vs Giants)
- beat the NFL Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts once, and very nearly twice
- first rookie quarterback to rush for more than 500 yards (552) in the Super Bowl era
- won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year (overwhelmingly--23 votes to 9 vote second place)
- first rookie QB in the Pro Bowl--ever
"I learned something every day. I'm just looking forward to playing in the game and having one more great experience to finish the year."Spoken like a true loser. (See failure below)
