I agree that VY has been dealt a bad hand by going to the Titans. I hate Tennessee, their owner and their storied abortion of a franchise. I was a die-hard Oiler fan until carpetbagger Bud ran for the hills. I have disliked them since.
I, like other UT fans wanted to see him come to Houston and was disappointed when they opted to go a different direction in taking Mario. I have since began to see what they were trying to build around. I do not think Vince is a bust nor a failure. I do not want to be the 1st to label him as such, and agree that their is nothing more than a glorified JV squad lining up with him on the offensive side of the ball. However, some on this board go the polar opposite in that they are excusing or justifying his bad play by placing all of the blame on the rest of the offense. He is responsible for his own play, not the play of the rest of his team. From what I have seen lateley of VY is that he is beginning to look uncoachable. After his last 4-13 with 30 something yards and a pick performance, his post game conference was embarassing to read. He is acting like a spoiled brat, and unfortunately a lot of our recent star players who have transitioned to the NFL are getting that stigma. The perception is that these guys are babied and coddled while on the 40 acres and once they make it to the NFL, they cannot handle criticism.
While I understand that the talent around him is terrible, Vince could do a lot to improve HIS skills. I wish him success in the league and do not want him to be looked upon as a bust. I just get tired of the VY apologists that defend his recent play with " he has no one around him" arguments.
