Young passed for two touchdowns and raced for a 36-yard score to engineer his fourth comeback in the fourth quarter or overtime in a 30-29 win at Buffalo last Sunday.
The third overall pick in the draft, Young is 8-4 since taking over as the Titans' starter.

So are we looking at a new and improve version of Michael Vick? Does this kid have more upside then Vick?

i dont think people should be looking at Vince as being the new Micheal Vick becuase he is has become so much more than that, but if we need to draw a comparrison with someone i would say he is definatly the new improved Steve McNair. i dont know why i see more of McNair in him than Vick, i think its becuase McNair was more of a team player, Vick isnt so much like that, i mean he has 2 great RB's and yet they are hardly ever used becuase he wants to run more so they offesne has to conduct more option plays rather than running plays and how many times do you hear "Vick passes to Crumpler..." its the same thing over and over, yes he is his favourite outlet but McNair was never so one dimensional, maybe it can be said that Mason was always McNairs favourite target but you look at Youngs passes this season and in most of the games hes spread it out to 8-10 different recievers

in my opinion we are seeing Vince turn into a player on his own, rather than emerging from the shadows of current NFL players and in 10 years time we will be able to say "we were there when we drafted Vince Young"

I think talent wise he is closer to Vick...Vick might run a bit more than a QB should, but the runners he has are only that effective because the D has to worry about Vick breaking containment...I remember a year in which Dunn average about 3 yards a carry as a Buc...with Vick he is a 4.5-5 yards a shot runner...

Young hits 52% of his passes which is where Vick is at...they have great guns, but are not high precentage passers right now...McNair is in the 62% range...In fariness it took McNair five years to be more than a 50% passer...

Young might become the next Mc nair, but right now he is reminding me more of Vick.
