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 : Young

Well, 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.
