ESPN's Merril Hoge, who's been mostly critical of Young, doesn't think a change in offensive coordinator is going to fix anything with the Titans offense, which ranked 21st overall this season, 27th in passing.
"What they've done is the first indicator of what happens when you make a mistake with the quarterback you drafted in the first round and he starts to erode your organization,'' Hoge said. "Norm Chow was not the problem. He did what his quarterback was capable of doing, which is not very much. And it is much easier to fire the offensive coordinator than to get rid of your quarterback.
"If it's your quarterback you're saying 'We made a mistake.' Now you get rid of the offensive coordinator and say the reason he is not playing well is because of him. What you're doing is buying yourself another year and you avoid the public relations hit of actually fessing up and admitting 'We screwed up.' ''
Because of Young's limitations, Hoge said, Heimerdinger would not have the freedom of changing game plans each week like he's been able to do with Cutler. He said with 28 starts under his belt, it's up to Young to prove he's a capable NFL quarterback.
"I don't know what coach you fire next, but at some point you have to face the music," Hoge said. "You have a great athlete back there, but you don't have a great quarterback no matter who the coordinator is. One day they'll wake up to that.''

He has a point there. Although only time will tell if Vince Young improves with a new coordinator.

So you agree with hodge that Young is a terrible QB?

I just dont understand why hodge has such a beef with young. He gives him no credit at all. Its like hodge wont say he was wrong about the things he said about vince when he was drafted and he just keeps talking trash for whatever reason any time they mention the titans or young.

Yea I dont know why he puts him down so much, Vince is an incredible athlete and has to be doing something right to take his team to the playoffs in his second year..

Right now, isn't it a little early to declair Hoge wrong? I mean, what is Young continues to struggle with new offensive coaches? Then what?

Isnt early to jump the gun and make a idiotic statement like hodge has done?

Vince went to the pro bowl his rookie season and took his team to the playoffs this year..I say thats pretty good..

If he can regain that Pro Bowl form, then Hoge will indeed look like an idiot. But I'm not 100% sold on Young right now. Sorry.

I'm not saying Young is terrible. I think some people like to jump on young QBs and proclaim them gods or proclaim them busts.

I'd like my starting QB to have more than 10 passing TDs though. He's a leader and a good player but he has to improve on his QB skills if he wants to take the Titans past the wild card round.

Oh I agree, he definitley has things he needs to work on and he will but merril for some reason has had it out for him ever since being drafted, his stats may not be bloated but like you said hes a leader and hes a winner, he does what he needs to win games, he will get better but to say hes not good at all is not a fair assement in my opinion..

Mine either. At least not yet. Lefty is right that maybe he wont do better with a diff coordinator, but right now it just looks like he needs a little more time to me.

Well, I'm not saying he definitely won't do better. I'm optimistic he can turn it around. Just tossing out what-if scenarios.

[titans#1]

they said the samething about mcnabb so titans fans dont worry he will get there.and thanks to a new offensive cordinator we might seeVY get some passing experiance in because with norm it seemed to be about his ole' college buddy white.
