Vince Young Needs A Team

I’m rooting for Arizona. They are a QB away from the playoffs.

Parcells resigned from his position with the Dolphins last season.

I agree that the Vikings made the most sense. I fear he’ll be working for the Crypt Keeper out in Oakland.

Texas Longhorns?

…"The only thing I know how to do is win."

If All I do is Win didn’t play in your head upon reading this you need to get out more. FWIW, I heard VY’s steakhouse is fantastic and that fairly often you can find him there at the bar. Apparently he’s got some sort of special drink recipe just for him.

Unfortunately, IMO, it will be Oakland.

The salt and pepper goatee snipe was over the top (and a bit too close to home)

Completely agree: would have loved it to be the Vikes; Cards a fine option (location, pieces of the puzzle…); but I bet it is the Raiders. And another little piece of me dies.

You are correct, Mano.

And apparently Parcells is happier than ever.

But those commandments still apply in VY’s case.

drb,

Let’s hope not. That would not end well, imo.

+1 (million bazillion)

Part of me hopes that the Titans releasing Kerry Collins is a retraction and an admission that they do need Vince Young on their team. Because that’s really the best spot for him….and if they release VY, Chris Simms would be the best QB left on their roster. That’s a terrible decision, but obviously that’s probably whats going to happen.

My pipe dream vote would be for the Seahawks to release Hasselbeck and then sign VY. And NFC West team that snuck into the playoffs and then sucker punched their way into a playoff win. The team has talent on offense. R.Okung at LT, John Carlson is a SOLID TE (important for VY, as we all know). They don’t have have that 6’3"+ WR that VY usually has success with, but they have alot of shorter WRs who can get deep, Golden Tate being the class of those guys. Pete Carroll is the coach, so he knows what Vince is capable of. Plus, Vince would dominate, DOMINATE in the NFC West.

But if I’m being realistic…Vince needs to go to a team that (a) he would be the far and away the best QB in town as soon as he stepped off the plane, and (b) that is desperate enough to sign him. A team that didn’t just draft a QB in the 1st round. A team that doesn’t have a chance to sign Kevin Kolb bc no desirable FA would ever go there. A terrible team. So that’s why my realistic vote goes to the Buffalo Bills. Ryan Fitzpatrick probably couldn’t have gotten a scholarship at Texas. The team doesn’t have any any talent on offense, outside of CJ Spiller and Steve Johnson, who is a solid, sometimes spectacular WR with height. So yeah, the Bills suck. But let’s just be honest, Vince needs to get on the field with a team, any team at this point. And wouldn’t it be awesome to see VY steal a game off of Rex Ryan and the Jets?

So yeah…go Buffalo Bills.

“and if they release VY, Chris Simms would be the best QB left on their roster. That’s a terrible decision, but obviously that’s probably whats going to happen. "

Jake Locker

They also have Rusty Smith.

Locker could be starting sooner than later. Collins is terrible. Simms was never the same after getting de-spleened and he was a marginal NFL QB prior to that.

Tell me why Rusty Smith is your favorite QB, nordberg.

I’m aware of that? lol

Seriously, wasn’t Chris Simms hurt last year? And that’s the only reason Rusty got any PT? I could be wrong…

Dallas. Romo an Magee suck. Maybe Vince can get into the head of Roy and bring him back to preinjury form… Plus Garrett is not a total ball-buster of a coach.

Magnitude- From your keyboard to God’s news feed.

I say anywhere BUT Tennessee. VY needs a fresh start, and even with the other changes the Titans have made he can’t start over there.

Although Cincy would be a terrible place for VY, without Palmer, what are they gonna do?

I’m starting to think maybe Arizona – their QB situation was a dire wasteland, they smartly drafted the best player on their board in Round 1 instead of reaching for a marginal QB, and Ken Whisenhunt is a pretty flexible offensive coach who could retool their offense for Vince’s bootleg/rollout/deep ball game from Warner’s pinpoint mid-range passing and whatever the hell they tried to do last year. After years of having to drop the ball into a window the size of a dart board to get his receivers to catch it and then still seeing it bang off their hands or helmets, Larry Fitzgerald would be manna from heaven – he’s got the biggest window of any receiver in the league (basically like hitting those huge rolling targets in the QB Challenge).

I’d be terrified for his safety as long as the comically inept Levi Brown was at LT, but if they were able to shore up that spot and get a serviceable guard to replace the corpse of Alan Faneca they could get something working – they have weapons outside and Hightower/Beanie are at least serviceable, although you’d love to see them bring in somebody with some scoot like Darren Sproles or Jerious Norwood on the cheap to add some zip to the zone read.

Some small part of me wouldn’t mind seeing him become a Raider just because of the outcast/redemption vibe, but I’ve been watching too much NFL Films – at this point Al Davis is too far gone to keep a franchise stable and would be as likely to try and hunt Vince for sport as he would to build a successful team around him.

I woke up this morning, turned on ESPN and was greeted by some talking head discussing where QB free agents should go… He said VY should go to NY, be the 3rd QB option, never play, and “learn a lot while rehabbing his career”…

Just a terrible way to start the day. I’m still pissed.

Kenton,

If you read that linked article, it’s clear VY’s time in Tennessee is done.

Philly is an interesting match if Kolb moves on as expected. Imagine VY, LeSean McCoy, and Vick in the same backfield.

It’s also an interesting petri dish exercise to watch Cowboy fan’s reaction to VY in an Eagles uniform.

I will not be the butt of your rusty trombone, vasherized.

Arizona is probably your best bet to start, but given how cursed he is, Oakland.

“Ryan Fitzpatrick probably couldn’t have gotten a scholarship at Texas”

Brock Fitzhenry did.

I thought Kerry Collins retired?

I like the idea of him going to AZ. bona fide starter and another proverbial “Fuck you” to Leinhart. plus…arguably the best WR in the game with some other “decent” skill position talent. as mentioned above, this does assume that they can make some changes in their offense to accomodate VY’s skillset.

I’m pretty sure the titans started Rusty Smith because they drafted him, liked him and wanted to see what they had. as mentioned, the Nashville media and Bud Adams have given all indication that VY is def done as a Titan. Collins has retired and is expanding his existing songwriting career (seriously).

I would think AZ might be more interested in Kolb than VY, but that’s just a guess.

I kinda like the idea of Seattle. but…Golden Tate has shown nothing in the league (except an ability to steal granola bars late at night) and you’ve got very little talent at RB. and I would prob describe Carlson as “serviceable to good,” certainly not as a top tier TE.

Kevin Kolb is having visions. Or envisions.

SmuHorn, you are wrong about Ryan Fitzpatrick. He looked pretty good last season. I love VY but I don’t see him with the Bills.

I had Minnesota at #1 until the Ponder pick. Now, I have to go with Seattle.

Pete Carroll has firsthand knowledge of Vince’s leadership and uncanny will to win (I suppose Arizona knows about this, too). Carroll is the anti-Fisher. He would embrace VY’s ability to galvanize the team instead of fighting against that.

Seattle isn’t a crazed football market. Supportive, but not calling for his head midway through the season.

Seattle’s skill positions aren’t exactly top tier, but they are serviceable and the team has shown in the past two drafts that they want a badass offensive line. Okung last year and OL in the first two rounds of 2011. Also, it’s the NFC West.

Headed to Miami. Wisenhunt in AZ won’t sign him. VY won’t sign to be a back up in Philly unless the money is right.

Miami needs a QB and already has a running game (assuming they hold on to at least RW or RB). Should also be noted they have at least one deep threat at WR with no QB to get him the ball….and he’s none to happy about it.

Alright, the Fitzpatrick schollie comment was dumb. Dude is an NFL QB, so he obviously could have played at Texas. And, now that I checked his stats, he had a decent year last year.

My point was, VY is better than him.

Btw, all you guys saying AZ, not gonna happen. The Cards are the best team for a FA QB to go to, and they only have eyes for Kevin Kolb.

If the broncos were smart they’d pick him up. Tebows not ready prob never will be but at least they could both play in a similar offense

FYI, the steakhouse kinda sucks, actually.

I definitely did not read this post.

Bengals?

If VY plays for the Burgundy and Gold next year, then I will explode in delirium. Yes, I will buy the jersey on the day it is announced.

Otherwise, I would like VY in Miami (running the wildcat would be amazing) or Arizona (they actually are a good team in a really terrible conference).

No matter where he plays, I hope Young leads his team to a Super Bowl victory (please, not with the Cowboys) and collects an MVP trophy along the way to show the rest of the country what we already know. He is a game changing player.

Fake Huckleberry just won a tote bag.

burgundy??

Another Skins fan praying that Bruce Allen prevails on Shanny and the Skins pick up the obvious #1 free agent and best available piece to add to any NFL roster at a gigantic discount. And it would be very tough to decide whether to sport the Orakpo or the VY jersey on game days; probably first half/second half it. Jeff Fisher is a twat.

God help for me saying it, but his best fit may be the Raiders.
 
Solid running game, fans desperate for a winner messiah at QB, wide outs who can get deep.

“Just win, baby”

Magnitude, you’re half right and half retard. I’ll leave it to you to struggle through which is which.
