What do you think about your team signing Vince Young? I understand it gives consistency at the QB position in that if Vick goes down a similarly styled guy is behind him... but that's someone I wouldn't want on my team.

I thin k Andy is a better coach than play caller or talent evaluator.

VY is coming in as a backup with a starter's heart, I like that. I'll take him over a guy like Lienart who had a shot to start in Seattle as CHOSE to be a backup. VY has a great opportunity to show he's a team player and committed to learning the Eagles offense. If he does that, who knows what the Eagles will do, Even with Vick next season. they move older players faster than Mikey drops a conspiracy.... ok, not that often but they are known to surprise..

Miami picked up the LB Burnett from SD but he was with the Cowboys before that to take Crowders place they cut him.....

Yes, this was true, but Favre declined, it's been all over the local radio news here for weeks. Signing Vince Young killed that speculation however..

I don't see Vince Young as having the heart of a starter, I see him as yet another guy who came into the league and was shocked that they couldn't dominate the NFL the way they dominated their college opponents. He seems to become disheartened and give up easily. Who knows though, people change and sometimes a change in scenery can do a player wonders.

Even at the Pro level Vince wins. I just don't think he understands winning football, if the Eagles can get that through, he still could be special. I understand Vince also had some outside of Football emotional issues a couple years ago and was considered suicidal, so I'm not sure what really happened in Tenn.
