I don't hate Harrel. He knows the system a hell of a lot better than Coleman, that's for sure. But obviously they brought in Young for a reason. I honestly didn't think they were gonna sign him, because the Packers don't do these kind of things. But they probably saw ability/potential that the 2 Backups we have now certainly don't have.

Released by Buffalo, and out of football for a year... and he becomes the automatic #2 QB? I highly, highly doubt that happens, or that he could beat out Harrell, who has been in this system, developing, for years.

I do get it though. All these people discredit Harrell because he tripped and made a bad play in one game. I think I may be one of the few Graham Harrell fans. That's OK. I think Harrell will prove to be pretty damn good with his opportunities.

Nothing against Young at all. He just has a long road. This isn't 2006...

I think BJ spends another year on the PS. He's got the potential, but he's still indecisive. Hasn't completely taken control of the position yet.

Thing is, the Titans ran the Bill Parcells offense, didn't they? Might be a WCO learning curve. We'll find out soon if Young is willing to put in the time and effort.

Vince Young was a monster, monster head case. Maybe McCarthy can work with him and get his focus back on the game, and on being a good QB. No other staff could be better for him.

Nothing against Young at all. I just think the roster spots my be too tight to keep 3 QBs. I doubt Ted keeps him for very long, but I have been so wrong, so many times with some personnel moves.

I do agree Coleman is buying another year on the PS - and he may not last there.

#2 will not be handed to anyone. Certainly not Young. I simply think he will work hard and earn the job.

Maybe Vince Young does find his inner QB working with Tom Clements and Mike McCarthy... That could be very good (but it sure isn't going to happen in just 3-4 weeks). However, my guess is he benefits our team being on scout teams in preparation for some of the running QB teams we will be facing, with the trade off being Young gets a shot on a roster and is able to learn from some of the best in the business. I wouldn't doubt if that played into their thinking in signing Young.

Who knows? Ted has liked this player for years. Now he has him on his roster, and maybe he carves out a spot for him to further develop by cutting another player when we trim to 53. All I know is we have a ton of talent, and that roster cut down will be difficult to make.

Uh, he looks pretty good...

I may be wrong but I highly doubt Ted Thompson would sign the guy just to be a camp practice dummy. I'm not saying he makes the team but I don't think he'd be here if he didn't have a shot. Don't they have roster limits in place now? Why would you take one of them up for a guy you have no intentions to keep around.

Prediction: Harrell gets cut. Coleman gets PS. Young is backup QB.
