It's been speculated, but now it's final. Vince Young is now a backup to Michael Vick. The deal makes sense, since Michael Vick likely will miss some playing time due to his reckless elusive QB'ing nature, so a backup with similar skill-sets will keep the offense similar for both QB's. Plus, since it's a one-year deal, it will compel Young to play his hardest fast to prove he's serious about the NFL.

Now the question I have is if Vince Young was willing to be a backup, then why didn't the Colts make a move on him? He's been in our division his entire career and we like to establish the run to set up the playaction. But what do I know, Jim Caldwell and Jim Irsay are the puppet-masters.

Well that's their problem...

Shh... Listen? Hear that? That's groans from the city of Philadelphia... Not only because they are getting Young, but because this means that Brett Favre's trouser snake won't be coming to town... Lots of recently purchased magnifying glasses and microscopes are going to be returned to retail stores starting tomorrow...

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By colts89 · Posted

      Maybe I'm using incorrect terminology when saying he's an OLB (EDGE might be more appropriate, but I'm not sure what an EDGe encompasses compared to a 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB ), but I definitely have seen seen him have more reps standing up than with his hand on the ground. He also was asked to play in coverage as well.

      Somewhat surprised. I figured it would be odunze at 9. Nabers is very talented, so I understand, and happy to hear he was making offers.

      From what I've seen reported Arizona was shutting down any trade requests. They weren't even listening to offers because they wanted MHJ. So yeah... If I had to guess the Colts wanted Nabers. They did work on him, had him on top 30 visit. IMO our best chance was probably the Chargers pick at 5, but it must have been really expensive.

      Reddit is essentially internet prospecting. You have to sift through a bunch of waste and junk, but there are occasional nuggets that make it a worthwhile trip.    I get the most use out of it in regards to gaming. When I have a question or issue with a game I’m playing I almost always find a solution on Reddit. It’s good for stuff like that, but for general discussion and debate, yeah it’s a total cesspool.   I’d bet the farm on it. No hesitation. We spent enough years with frank listening to him talk about what he wanted in a QB and what he wanted them to be able to do that I can’t see frank wanting Young over Stroud even after a 3 week fever dream. Stroud checked all the boxes he ever laid out too perfectly. And after having a full year of sample size on Stroud, he and frank probably would have been a pretty sweet pairing, much akin to the Luck/frank pairing.

      it’s like if Latu goes off next year and is rookie of the year, and saying Ballard made a genius move to not trade up and pick Latu because he just knew he’d be there. That’s how ludicrous that argument is. He admitted they felt very lucky, and were… especially if he turns into a pro bowler soon and we look back in hindsight.
