Which is why I have no problem with Collins being the starter. He earned it. I just dont think Vince is "finished" because of it.

So did Vince Young. He won Offensive Rookie Of the Year just like Ryan did too. The difference, Matt Ryan is perceived as having a great career ahead of him. Vince Young after a bad sophomore season isnt an NFL QB anymore. You think people are gonna tell Matt Ryan if the Falcons flop and miss the playoffs next year (which history predicts they will) he's not a QB? HELL NO.

I had no problem with McNabb's benching. He wasnt playing well and needed something like that to turn it around. Its just funny how half of the Philly media and some of their fans were so ready for the Kevin Kolb era. They were angry at Reid for sticking with his guy. I dont think a white QB with Don's resume goes thru no bullshit like that.

As he should've been. Kurt was pretty bad for a couple of years. He got alot of praise during this playoff run, even people mentioning him as a Hall Of Famer. I dont know how you missed that. The only on air announcer I seen praising McNabb for his late season turn around was Troy Aikman. Joe Buck and the others were firmly on Kurt's nuts.

Young wasn't that great his rookie year either. Take a look at his stats. The Titans got to the playoffs because of their defense and special teams, IN SPITE of Young's poor performance. He simply rode the wave of his NC season his first year.

He's NOT a QB, and would be better suited as a slot receiver of sorts. His running ability isn't going to ttake him as far when linebackers are just as fast/faster than he is.

People, Vince Young did not make the playoffs his rookie year. He did his second year when he had a higher QB rating than his 1st year. It's his third year when he got injured, got booed, had his little feelings hurt and went awol.

Ryan hasn't had his starting job taken away by someone in his late 30's has he? When that happens to a QB, public perception is gonna be that he doesn't have a bright future.

Everyone thought Kurt's career was over till this year. Anyone who makes a turn around like that deserves praise.

And since when are Philly fans rational?

The problem is you wanna make it about race when its not even about that. Would you rather teams rework their whole offense to a QB who is run first, pass second like the Falcons did with Vick? Yeah that brought them alot of success. :rolleyes:

If a QB can't do his job, he deserves any bad critism he gets and/or get yanked. If you may recall, many Panthers fans here were ready to murder David Carr after just 2 games.

i agree with you for the most part but i do think race plays a role in this like it or not....but i dont think that is everything

i think young will get a shot again to prove himself

      Evero HC requests!

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Are you now equating best/worst rush defense with best/worst defense? Those are separate things entirely. For rush defense, depending on how you quantify it, he has been largely in the bottom third of the league his entire career as a defensive coordinator.  As you can see, aside from his one year in Denver, he has never been above 20th in yardage. Now, there is context to consider which is most coordinators choose to run on him(24th-32nd ranked in his three year in Carolina). So, if you just simply look at Y/A, it has been a relatively mixed bag. Twice a top 15 defense but twice a bottom 15 defense.  The thing the should make all this good/bad run defense a lot clearer is the right most columns. Evero's defense has always prioritized pass defense and confusing QB's. That's the core of his defensive philosophy, as has been reported relatively widely. As much as there are ample personnel issues on that side of the ball(many of which he contributes to with his below average talent evaluations) his defenses may never be truly elite in rush and pass defense unless they are stocked with defensive talent. Like....his Denver defense that he inherited was. To that point, if you look at all those rankings from the three years Fangio(of whom Evero is a noted disciple) it shows a progression of getting steadily better into the far more elite defense it is now under Vance Joseph. As far as his HC interest, recall that he was a hot commodity after Denver and that cooled significantly after his first two years here. I suppose if you count getting interviews for HC positions as a benchmark for being a good coach(most would not) then he is middle of the packish.
