    Says here in the Chronical that VY won't exactly be happy as a backup:

    I was a huge Vince Young fan, even since he was in high school.



    But the dude is nowhere near an elite NFL quarterback.




    I don't even think he's the best NFL quarterback from UT for what it's worth..

    Lock this, please. There is no reason to have this discussion for the 1,308,789th time.

    By the way, McNultyisdrunk, I'd be one of those "t-shirt" fans you referred to. Why don't you give me one good reason I can't root for the team I've followed for most of my life (another discussion that's been more than beat to death). I don't quite understand why I'm stupid for being a fan even if I got my degrees elsewhere.

    there's no "might". He already is better. Orlovsky sucks.

    I would hate to have Vince as our backup. Every time Matt throws an incomplete pass, the chants would start for Vince Young. The Texans already have enough problems without adding problem child Vince Young.

    Also, Orlovsky has played in so few games in the NFL, I don't know how you can label him "probably the worst backup QB in the NFL". I didn't think he looked very good in the pre-season last year, but I haven't seen enough of him to know how he ranks among all backups in the NFL.

    I was giving VY a small chance of being able to get his head right after the titans let him go...maybe it would humble him. But then , during that espn interview he laughs loudy when asked if he would consider going someone and being a backup.

    maturity obviously does not come wth age

    It was just a thought for VY. I never said he was a top priority. :mad:

    Some people have an innate need to feel superior to others. This whole "I'm a real fan; you're not" is one common way of doing so.

    There was a sit-down interview with Vince aired on ESPN yesterday, and when asked if he could take a backup role he laughed and said "that's funny".

    Then he gave the PC statement about competing and doing what's best for the team.

    I'm assured the guy is still as immature as ever and will never grow into a disciplined player. If we signed him, there would be a ****storm of turmoil especially with him having so much support in this town.
