Vince Young, New Starter in Buffalo?

by Steve

As we know the Buffalo Bills signed Vince Young to a one year $2 million + incentives contract.  What we don't know is that I think he should be able to compete to be the starter come 9/9.

Who was drafted in the seventh round out of Harvard? Who won the National Championship at Texas and was the #3 overall pick?  Who has the significantly better winning percentage in the National Football League?

Vince Young clearly has more talent than Ryan Fitzy-fitz-noodle-arm Fitzpatrick.  He could be the missing link for a team that is arguable a solid QB away from competing in the AFC and (gasp) actually making the playoffs for a change.

Whether you like VY or not you can't deny the talent.  If the guy is committed to playing football again, isn't suicidal and wants it, there isn't anything holding the guy back from being the starter in Buffalo.  Yeah last year he looked like a drunk Jake Delhomme heaving INTs all over the field.  Maybe a change of scenery is all he needs?

Ryan Fitzpatrick hasn't shown me anything to believe he is anything better than a mediocrity.  Everyone says competition makes things better why wouldn't that be the case with VY going toe to toe with #14 in July/August?  Who cares if a couple of players are miffed because "the beard" is their guy.  Winning cures all ills.

Plus now when Fitzy inevitably falters and the L's pile up we'll have someone to call for not named Thigpen.  Or maybe Young will show up in July fat, unmotivated and not even make it out of SJF.  It's worth a try.
