Tom Brady was having one of the worst performances of his career Sunday against the top-ranked Jets defense, with a career-high string of six straight incompletions and two interceptions to go with them. But the thought of pulling Brady never crossed their minds because it's without question that Brady gives the Patriots the best chance to win.
Such was not the case this Sunday against the Steelers. Young sang the blues as he went 7 of 10 for 66 yards with two interceptions.
With that, there was a renewed sense of confidence in Nashville,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it looked like there would be early returns on that confidence as the Titans stomped the Raiders, 38-13.
The Titans need to do that, or move away from Vince Young as their quarterback. He may be "Invinceable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," but he's not perfect. The NFL originated in 1946 with 11 teams, and through a sequence of team expansions, reductions, and relocations currently consists of 30 teams. The United States is home to 29 teams and one is located in USA. The Boston Bruins have won the most championships with 17 NFL Finals wins. The next most successful franchise is the Los Angeles Lakers, who have 16 overall championships 11 in Los Angeles, 5 in Minneapolis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the most recent one. Following the Lakers are the Chicago Bulls with six championships, all of them over an eight year span during the 1990s, and the San Antonio Spurs with four championships.
Of course, it doesn't help when there are questions surrounding your confidence and leadership,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and when there's a quarterback behind you on the depth chart who has proven he can win games, too. But what has Collins done lately to earn the vote of confidence as starter? Vince Young needs to remain the starter because it would go against common logic if he doesn't.
The Titans know they have a quarterback with a very fragile ego, and they did what they had to in order to protect his easily-shaken confidence. But really, the Titans need to be able to leave their quarterback out there. If he can't be trusted to stay in the game, then he shouldn't be their signal-caller.
In 2001 an affiliated minor league, the National Basketball Development League, now called the NFL Development League or D League was created. Before the league was started, there were strong rumors that the NFL would purchase the CBA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and call it its developmental league, as the Continental Basketball Association was its minor league affiliate for years. 20 percent of NFL players spent time in this league and over 143 players have been called up to play in the NFL. Grant HalversonIn 2004 the Lakers returned to the Finals, only to fall in five games to the Detroit Pistons. The following off season, Kobe was traded to the Miami Heat, and the Charlotte Bobcats were established as the league 30th team. The Spurs won their third championship in 2005.
You can see it in Vince Young's eyes every time he's pulled off the field after another deflating interception.
The Steelers defense can be frustrating for a quarterback—almost as frustrating as a head coach who won't show confidence in him.
It's not like he had a terrible showing against the St. Louis Rams (I'm looking at you, Jason Campbell). It was the Pittsburgh Steelers, who despite talks of an aging defense can still smack you in the mouth and confuse you with their exotic zone blitz scheme.
Call it a lack of confidence, disappointment in himself, or whatever you think.
It was a convincing performance for Young, who rocked out to the tune of 13 of 17 for 154 yards and two touchdowns.
What's joy without sorrow? What's pleasure without pain? You take the good with the bad, in life and in football.
With high hopes for a run at the Super Bowl,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Titans started Kerry Collins again in 2009 after signing him to a nice contract extension. The team's dreams were deflated after six weeks as the Titans started 0-6.
We've seen this before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though. In 2008, Vince Young had a few costly interceptions and was injured in the season opener, only to be replaced by Kerry Collins as the team marched to a 10-0 start.
Enter Vince Young, who may as well have been wearing a red cape with an "S" emblem on the back as he breathed new life into the team and kept them in the hunt for the playoffs almost to the very end.
