Vince Young

Ta-Nehisi Coates asks if Vince Young is a bust.  As a longtime Oilers/Titans fan, I can say with some confidence: yes.  As a Titans fan, I can also say that this was probably the best thing that could have happened to the team this year.  Kerry Collins simply runs the offense more effectively and makes fewer mistakes.  It was a mistake, albeit an understandable one, to draft him instead of Leinart (who, truth be told, has hardly acquitted himself well in the pre-season), but then it was also mistake to run off both Steve McNair and Billy Volek in the first place.  As always, the owner of the team blunders and the team pays for it for years afterwards.
