He needs a new thread because KT has absolutely ruined the discussion in the other thread.

Vince looked like sh*t before the season began and now in the first time in his career he's showing he can play. Let's hope he doesn't pull a Derek Anderson and is crap after this year again.

KT doesn't have enough pure football smarts to get it. The main issues being that he equates dislike of Michael Vick with dislike of black QBs (I don't want The Golden Calf of Bristol; guess that means I must hate white QBs). That and if you criticize a black QB in any way, regardless of whether it's deserved or not, he automatically cries racism (generally because it's all he's got; in a debate based on facts he can't keep up).

As to Young, last year he pulled a stunt worthy of Kerry Collins or Ryan Leaf, sulking because he was benched and going so far off track that people were worried he was going to kill himself, and over a benching of all things.

This year, he's done better. A couple of contributing factors have been the play of Chris Johnson and the Titans coaches taking the same approach with Young that the Bears had taken with Jay Cutler. That being they started him off primarily concentrating on safe, high-percentage passes and then allowed him to gradually work back into his rhythm.

The tactic looked like it would work with Cutler early on, but hasn't. With Young though, it looks so far like it has. He is actually getting better, and in the process may just save Jeff Fisher's job.

Is he "Hall of Fame worthy" as has been suggested? Not at this point. Still a long way to go before it can be said he's walking in the same shoes as Steve McNair.

But is he improved? Absolutely.

I am very happy for the Titans, and for VY.

He needed to sit for a couple of years, and didn't get that chance, and I do believe that it hurt him.

He is playing good football right now, and I am proud of him. I think the OC limiting the throws in his first few starts, let him get into a groove, and now is making some more difficult ones.

Exactly..although I think the Titans should get a new coach. They would still be losing now if the owner didn't put his foot down.

      Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
