That’s just weird.

It wasn’t like he was saying he expects to win the starting job. He was just saying he wants to push Vick to make him better.

I mean, clunking.

I think he knows Vick is the undisputed starter. He’s just saying (and not very well) that he has a competitive mindset and wants to help the team anytime he’s called upon. If he behaves himself, works hard, and learns as well from Vick as Vick did from McNabb, in two years he’ll be starting for another franchise.

You know how many QB’s have a better winning percentage since Youngs Rookie year of guys who have 25 starts or more ??? The answer is 6. Thats it. That means the guy has the 7th best winning percentage since he was a rookie. Not bad for a guy who can barely speak.

Young and Vick will compete with one another the way the QB’s and RB’s and WR’s and DB’s on all teams compete. They will push one another. The better Young plays in practice, the better it will force Vick to play and vice versa.

Good teams create competition and the perception of competition even when the job is not up for grabs. If Reed didn’t tell Young that he wants him to try to compete for the job then Reed is not a good coach.

As a coach you just try to avoid telling the media that two guys are competing for a job unless the job truly is up for grabs. Unless Reed tells everyone there is a competition, there ain’t one, but Young sure as hell better be playing like there is.

You lost a battle with Kerry Collins and you think you can battle with Vick?!?!?!

The real point here is…. faced with all that… this idiot can’t control himself and MUST infer that he’s gonna put up a fight for the starting job… he can’t let it sit for an entire 24 hours….. at exactly the time he should be the most humble, putting in the work kinda guy he should be.

and that’s the proof that he will forever be a malcontent…. and a problem. You don’t ever see franchise QBs act like that….ever.

Packers haven’t gone after a single open market FA and I’m not pissed off. However I would have been extremely pissed off if the Packers had gone after a QB with a Wonderlic of 6, a history of assaulting fans with various pieces of equipment, and a tendency to disappear into a black hole of doom. Worse yet, it’s *Philly*. Fans will throw stuff at him.

As a fan of another team in the NFC East, I’m glad to see Vince young not accepting his role already.

It’s the law of unintended consequences. Now they’ll have to hire a guy to stay between Young and any microphone in the area.

Are you serious? A little friendly advice to Vince
Young: If competing with Vick is something you plan to do, you should be aware of the outcome for those who do not compete to Vick’s standards…

They have an amazing qb coach with the eagles and obviously andy reid. Their qb coach has worked moble qb’s before. Like Steve young and others. I think he’ll be able to teach a lot to vince. The ball is really in Vinces court now, he can become good if he puts the time in with this guy. He just had to do it

And he might be right. Vick was never the runner up in the Heisman vote and he never won a national championship. Even if he doesn’t win the starting job, he wants to show that he’s better. Vick chokes in big games. Vince does the opposite.
