Today I watched Vince Young play for the first time this year, and I know this is a small sample size against a good Colts defense, but I just didn't think he was very good. He couldn't make the more difficult NFL throws, like the fades into the end zone, and his decision-making was poor. He just looked very pedestrian out there. The Colts kept Chris Johnson under control and Young could not beat them.
I think the Titans still have a QB problem.

He's still young and with a little bit of playing time and some much needed maturity he could be a decent QB, albeit not a top-tier one.
Two things I thought were huge today:
- He overthrew two pivotal passes on fourth downs in the red zone and in the fourth quarter that really hurt his team.
- Nate Washington dropped a beauty of a throw in the first half that could have been a big-play touchdown in what was still a close game at the time.
The one thing I think Vince brings as a QB is a winning attitude. Sure, he may not be awe-inspiring as a passer but he can get enough done to win football games. He's usually pretty good in the clutch which you witnessed in the 2-minute drill before the end of the first half but the overthrows on fourth down were disconcerting.
If this team was his at the beginning of the season I don't think we would have witnessed the 59-0 Patriots debacle.
