[i]OHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Ever since it was announced that the Riders had signed Vince Young, Riderfans have had Vince Young fever. Contrary to Rider fans, other fans got "the runs" when they heard Vince Young was going to (attempt) to play in the CFL.
Lets take a look at this Vince Young dude. :cowboy:
Vince Young the quarterback.
In 60 NFL games, Young threw 51 interceptions (and only 46 Touchdown passes) and had 21 fumbles. The guy cannot protect the football. Too bad the football isn't a ham and bacon sandwich. He would protect it with his life!
He played on teams with an offense based on the run game. For most of his years with the Titans, Chris Johnson the running back was the engine of the offence. All Young had to do was manage the game and protect the football. He FAILED at that one task he had to do.
Furthermore, his NFL career completion percentage is a paltry 57.9%, and his QB rating an equally dismal 74.4. All the guy had to do was dink and dunk the football for short passes in a run heavy offense, and all he could manage was 57.9% :thdn:
For those who mention his college football championship, and suggest he will be successful in the CFL because of his college accomplishments; HOGWASH! Chris Leak won a national championship, and he sucked in the CFL. Troy Smith won the Heisman trophy, and he sucked in the CFL!
Vince Young the person.
Here are some Vince Young events (the links follow):
[b]Since winning the BCS National Championship 10 years ago and being drafted third overall by the Tennessee Titans, Young has often made headlines for less pleasant reasons.
The following season, Young’s career with the Titans came to an end after he threw his shoulder pads into the crowd [b]and had an argument with his head coach, Jeff Fisher.
In 2010, Young found himself in trouble following an altercation at Dallas strip-club.
In 2012, Young reportedly had money troubles due to spending habits including a $6,000 bill at T.G.I. Friday’s.
Two years ago, Young filed for bankruptcy despite earning millions during his playing career.
Former Texas Longhorn great Vince Young was arrested on Sunday for DWI.

Is Vince Young BAD for the CFL?
Vote early and vote often! :cowboy: [/i]
