We all know VY's struggles in the passing game...
but why wasnt he a better runner in the NFL?
His last few years...I was surprised by how much he got tracked down.
I was worried about his passing in the NFL. But I thought he'd be capable of running for 600 to 700 yards in the NFL.

Two things ended his career.
1. You dont disrespect a HC like Jeff Fisher. I dont give a damn if he was in the wrong. You dont curse out your HC in front of your team and then send a text to apologize.
2. You go to Andy Reid and the Eagles....backing up an always injured Mike Vick. So you're going to get playing time and you're in a system that allows for QBs to productive......and yet VY threw 9 ints in 3 starts
. All VY had to do is put in work....get retained in Philly for another year...and who knows. Maybe Chip Kelly is coaching VY in that offense now instead of Foles. He blew it all in that year.

I remember reading about his coaches comments saying tgat vince was basicalky a dumbass... that he would fukk up when it came to learning the play book so what he did was made it super basic for him and just let him play
BULLCHIT!!!!!
culpepper's best year was without randy moss & cris carter. im not even sure if he had jake reed.
Wrong. Culpepper's best year was 04 and Moss was on the team. Played 13 games due to a hamstring injury and still led the team in tds.
no its not. at least its not his most efficient.
regardless of what year you want to run with, my point stands.
best QB rating, highest amt of yards thrown, highest td/int ratio. it's really not a debate 2004 was Daunte's best year period all with Moss on the field.
lol. i re-worded my post to make it sound more polite.
luckily, youre not one of those feelings cats.

"We are the Fury"
I think the NFL is rife with performance enhancers so that negates everyone's relative running advantage. But even if Vince Young could run 600 to 700 yards, that's not enough to overcome his passing deficiencies. He wasn't an efficient passer with and without pressure. The same rule applies to Newton. If he can't better his passing game, he'll be out of the league eventually.
Everyone will be out of the league eventually.
A young 6'5" 245lb QB that will give you 3,500yds/25TDs passing and 600-700 yds/7TDs rushing isn't leaving the league anytime soon.

I remember making a thread about which of the young QBs would be most successful
Eli, Rivers, Rapeitsburger, David Carr, Leinart, Young
And a couple others like Rex Grossman, Carson Palmer, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey, Alex Smith, Jason Campbell
All these guys were drafted in the first round within 3-4yrs of each other
Over a quarter of the league changed QBs
We have our answer now
