They are opposite types of QB's.

Your stats are misleading because you ommited some important game winning stats/ TD's.

Vince Young had 19 TD's and 13 INT's. He also rushed for 552 yards at 6.7 yards per carry and 7 TD's. Why are going to deny Young's 7 rushing td's, because QB's should only be judged by their passing game? He did earn those TD's. Qb's are allowed to run and it is a nice weapon to have, Steve Young had a great career as a mobile QB.

If you add in ALL of their accomplishments in 2006:

C. Pennington had a TOTAL of 17 TD's & 16 INT's & 109 yds rushing

Vince Young had a TOTAL of 19 TD's & 13 INT's & 552 yds rushing

Plus add that Pennington played in three more games than Young and that Young is a rookie. IMO Advantage : YoungWell, I only gave the passing stats, and although its true that Vince Young does stuff with his legs that helps the Titans win (and you do have to consider this in player eval), Chad Pennington is still the far, far superior QB. At least he was this year. The difference in their completion % is 13%! Vince Young helped win some games, but he was a poor passer which is something you'd expect from a rookie. Not pro bowl caliber.

It's fine to count rushing TDs, but then I think all rushing TDs by any player on the team should be counted.

I think Vince Young deserves to go over Chad Pennington. The Titans were nothing without Young. I agree about ROMO. (HE SHOLDN'T BE IN!!!) Let's start tabulatin' after the Wild Card game! ROMO would be a NO show! Grossman instead? no a friggin' chance!

The Pro Bowl is pretty worthless.

Once Romo was sent there after a few good games (before the blooper of the year), that was established.


Oh well, it's one more week of football...I won't complain too much. It's just an exhibition anyways.

My Dad being a bills fan, I took him to the bills vs titans game on xmas eve. Right before half time the titans had the ball at like the 50 and it looked like they would just throw up a hail mary pass. Instead young took the snap, rolled out to one sideline, cut clear across the field to the other sideline, and waltz into the endzone. It looked as effortless as his TD runs in the national championship game against USC. It's tough to say he deserves to be in over pennington cuz pennington actually got his team to the playoffs but you cant discredit vince young for what he did this year. He's flat out amazing.

He's flat out amazing.The plays that Vick and Young can make with their legs are flat out astounding. What both of them have yet to prove is that they can throw the ball with some degree of consistency. I really believe that Vince Young will grow as a passer in a manner that Michael Vick never did. He threw consistently in college better than Vick ever did and he seems to understand the game better.

It's just tough this year to look at his stats, look at Pennington's stats and try to say that Young deserved a shot before Pennington did.

I have a feeling most of the people trying to discredit him did not watch many of his games this year or last year. They maybe watched the Redskins vs Titans game where V Young was fairly quiet.

Probably true. However, those same people probably didn't watch Pennington much either.

I'd have to say this one is a toss-up. Pennington was the better passer, and Young had 7 rushing TDs. How can you compare the two? In a tie situation, I'd have to give the nod to the veteran who got his team into the playoffs.
