A-Rods Boss
And he has playoff experience.The one thing he has over what we have now is that he WAS a starter.Regardless of why he started, he did...So he has experience.

...or have his mom call the GM and complain about her little bitty son getting hit by those big mean men on the field.

MM on Vince Young, read-option: I think Vince has that ability and he can help out the scout team.
Problem is, he's still at his college level IQ.Vince Young 6-5 230 per Packers.com roster list
In college he was 6-5 228 to 233 depending on what scouting web site you look at..
So sounds like he is at his college weight
Problem is, he's still at his college level IQ.
C'mon, Oskosh.
It was his dad who complained and splashed it in the press.
Well that's just as bad. Rodgers is first round pick. There's expectation. There is clear next level talent in a first round pick that's why they are first round picks. Harrel is undrafted. Usually there's a reason for that.
You mean he can't get spear headed by James Harrison? I'm not sure many QB's can. I'm not sure either that many QB's can come into the league as a rookie and perform well in a division with some of the best defensive teams in this league twice a year without any weapons besides Josh Cribbs.
And don't give me that garbage about him being a ***** and not being able to take a hit. When Rodgers has been knocked out of games before on legal hits that were far less vicious than what Colt McCoy took and Rodgers whines about getting hit too.
Well I think this time he jersey number and IQ match.I dont even think that is true.Maybe grade school?

Guess you have not seen how much p*ssing and moaning this kid has done, much less his parents getting involved when he does take a hit. ALL Qb's get hit, ALL Qb's get hit hard at one point or another.......GET USED TO IT. And Arod does NOT complain like McCoy, get real.
Agreed...and I was calling for TT to bring in Tebow before Belichik got him. As we've seen now, there's no media circus up in NE. It lasted for a few days until the media realized that there was no more fun in the reporting. I would've rather had Tebow's leadership and inspiration in our locker room than Young's.I really don't expect anything to come from this other than some media.
He's a great runner, but a terrible passer.
He's a faster version of Tebow, but believe it or not, worse passer..... wait, that can't be. Same passer, just less of a leader than Tebow. And not as strong physically as Tebow. But faster.
If his parents get involved, I don't see how that's falls on him. He's a grown man he can speak for himself.
Just like Greg Jenning's sister doesn't represent him. But I doubt you faulted him for any of those incidents.
All QB's get hit and best believe all QB's complain about it. Including ours. Degrees of it vary but they all do.
And once again I don't know how much production you can expect out of a QB that has no receivers.
From the look of things at practice, Vince Young is not ready to play a game.
But despite his struggles - four interceptions in three days -- he is scheduled to play against the Arizona Cardinals Friday night. All four quarterbacks are expected to play and presumably he would be the last.
Young said that he has been burning the midnight oil in order to learn the Packers playbook.
"I’m here all day, it’s like home for me right now," Young said after practice Thursday. "I’m not in a hurry to get to the dorms right now. Right now, I’m here pretty much all night working with (quarterbacks) coach Ben (McAdoo) to continue to put more on me and find certain plays I’m real comfortable with that I can get the guys in and out of the huddle.
"(I've been staying) to about 9, 9:30. A lot of guys will get out of here, we have certain times we’re here, but I try to get a little overtime to get used to the terminology and different concepts and basic reads and all that."
The biggest problem Young seems to be dealing with is accuracy.
On Thursday, he threw late and was picked off by James Jones in offense-only drill. Later, he threw behind WR Jeremy Ross and was picked off by Jarett Bush.
He also overthrew open TE Matthew Mulligan and had another pass slip right out of his hand and flutter to nowhere in particular.
I wish I could give you more thumbs up for that one.well - considering from what I see out of Harrell and Coleman, I think Young has a great chance to be the back up.
It's not wildcat, it's read option.I rather risk a Vince Young getting hurt in a wildcat than Cobb
Thinking of that, you know it would be pretty entertaining if the game versus the St. Louis Rams if McCarthy has Rodgers and Young go into the Pistol formation with Young behind Rodgers just to play with that idea. I know it stupid yet I find it an intriguing possibility.It's not wildcat, it's read option.
