Vince Young Eagles

 

I wanted to see Vince Young get a starting job somewhere. The #s don’t lie, in his career with the Titans, he was a winner. He went 31-17 as starter and the Titans were 15-18 when he didn’t start, 3-15 if you exclude what was obviously a fluke 12-3 by Kerry Collins in 2008. He had his share of problems, but in all fairness, I think Vince Young deserves a chance somewhere where he’s wanted. Jeff Fisher never wanted to draft him and he was constantly benching him every time he did anything wrong.

He didn’t get a starting job, but the next best thing for him is going to Philadelphia. Andy Reid has made quarterbacks like Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, AJ Feeley, and probably Kevin Kolb look better than they actually are. He’s great with quarterbacks. Vick almost never makes it through a full season without missing a start so he’ll get playing time and the Eagles won’t lose nearly as much going from Vick to Young as they would have going from Vick to Mike Kafka. This is only a one year deal, which means that hopefully Young can get a shot at a starting job next offseason.

Grade: A
