truebeast 0 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 They are finally doing what they should have been doing from the start of the year, two starts for VY...CJ has 49 carries and 5 catches. They put to much faith in Collins and let him air it out way to much, CJ only had 2 games with over 20 touches when Collins was the starter. Link to post Share on other sites
JoeMan88 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Their offense looks so much better with VY. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ciderjack6 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 He's doing well. 1 sack, 1 int, 0 fumbles in 3 games 8.2 ypa 3-0 record Link to post Share on other sites
nickalero99 643 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think the increased dependence on the run game has more to do with the success than VY, but I have to say I can't give up on Young just yet. In college he showed ton of grit. He's a winner. I know that's cliche and generally means a guy doesn't have a lot of talent, but Young does. He's never going to light up the air and that will limit his fantasy value, but wouldn't Tennessee be the ultimate match for him once they get the D straightened out again? Run first team where he's not going to be depended on to throw for 300 yards. Plus having a game manager with the ability to break off a huge play with his legs adds a dynamic to the Titans offense. I thoroughly enjoyed his college career and I'd love to see him have some success as a pro. Link to post Share on other sites

I thoroughly enjoyed his college career and I'd love to see him have some success as a pro. Agreed with most of this. Young's probably never going to have gaudy passing statistics. However, he's a winner (he's won his last 7 starts) and his impact permeates through the offense and the team. Titans average as a team about a yard and half more in the run game when Young is in the game throughout his career. CJ's a stud and the star of that team, but it's no coincidence (the schedule helps a little too) that he's had 3 huge games in a row with Young at the helm. Young's impact on the run game goes all the way back to his days at Texas. The threat of him running allows wider running lanes for RBs....... Link to post Share on other sites
malta69 396 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Anyone actually thinking about rolling the dice with VY this week? He'll probably only throw for his usual 220 yds, but this could be a game where he exploits the Titans def for some decent yardage on the ground. Not to mention, Hou/Tenn is often a shootout.

dan 71 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Not that we should expect a 300+ yard game every week but he's looking a lot more fantasy relevant than I expected. Add a good receiver and who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
TBarber21 41 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The game winning drive last night by VY and the Titans was awesome last night. I don't know what got into VY but something clicked in his head. He is reading the field, adjusting to pressure, and making good decisions with the football. He isn't trying to run after his first read breaks down anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

He isn't trying to run after his first read breaks down anymore. That is the key right there. Let's hope he stays in his happy place. Good stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

With Carson Palmer and his big 12 throws a half letting me down on a weekly basis, VY is essentially turning into my #1 option on what somehow is still a playoff team.

Same here. Palmer has turned into Kyle Orton for some reason. I'm starting VY at home vs. StL for my first round playoff game. Link to post Share on other sites
drcrappants 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 i have the same choice, palmer or vy. starting vy, but news of this injury worries me. even if he does start, he probably wont be needed and used much Link to post Share on other sites
Cfused 9 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm in the exact situation right now. I do NOT want to start Palmer either!! Does anyone know if we'll find out before the first games? Link to post Share on other sites

Nonbranded 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 how are we all in the same boat here ... Palmer or Young and it hinges on this injury news. Almost the same boat, the only difference is that my Carson Palmer is actually Matt Ryan & his turf toe... On top of all that my league doesn't allow waiver acquisitions after the playoffs start. Soooo, I am screwed if neither one of these fools play... Link to post Share on other sites
malta69 396 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 how are we all in the same boat here ... Palmer or Young and it hinges on this injury news. My QB is situation is just disgusting. I've been wasting a roster spot on carrying THREE quarterbacks for the past six weeks or so (VY/Palmer/Garrard). As far as I'm concerned, Palmer isnt even an option going forward. The guy hasnt broken 250 yards passing since early October. That's completely absurd. In a perfect world, I'd play a healthy VY this week no questions asked. Considering he's likely to be a GTD, I'm gonna go the safe route and start Garrard tonight. There's no way I'd risk waiting til Sunday, having VY ruled out and being forced to play Palmer. Now if he does suit up, even a one-dimensional Vince is a far superior option over Palmer and his 9 dump off completions a game. Link to post Share on other sites

My local has a similair rule which I actually kinda like, however, the rule stipulates that add/drops can only be made if you can't start a legal lineup due to injury/suspension/etc. You should definitely petition the commish and see if you can get an exemption or at the worst case, put it to a vote for next year so that it doesnt happen again.
