Who is better Vince Young or Michael Vick?

Question

Forget about all the off-field stuff, keep in on the field...who's better?

Answer 1

No argument its vince young

Look at the difference.
Vince Young already won rookie of the year with average players on offense. Michael Vick has attitude problems and all he can do is run with the ball. I mean for once stand in the pocket for 5 games straight.
Vince Young is a playmaker.....he can run and THROW which michael vick cant really do. Vince Young almost took the titans to the playoffs in the AFC after he came in 5 games into the season. Michael Vick didnt.

Everyone might think Michael Vick is good just cuz he can run but he is ****.

Vince Young is good because he can do everything.

Answer 2

Neither. Both have the same playing style, in the same type of offense, and have yet to do anything spectacular to solidfy themselves as a good QB. For example:

In the case of Michael Vick, everyone wants to talk about his running and how dangerous he is. Ok so the guy can run like a RB and has an arm, big deal. Has he been able to read coverages? What about finding the right adjustment on offense? The reason why hes able to connect on long throws, and sometimes hit his targets accurately, is because after hes done running after 7-10 seconds the defense can only hold their jobs for so long, enabling the receivers to sneak away and make a play. So until Michael Vick learns to be a QB, not an athlete, es not great, just above average.

For Vince Young, it was a repeat of Michael Vick's 2002 season: running, short passes, and because of his running, was able to win a few games and almost get into the playoffs, except Vick did go to the playoffs and beat the Packers. Norm Chow installed the Shotgun Option, told vince that if his first read wasnt there, take off and pick up yards. Honestly, how many plays did we see him make with his arm? Not even close to all the running plays. For people saying his "decisions" and "ability to read coverages" is better than Michael Vick, all Young did was look for 1st read, then take off! Yes he went 8-5 as a starter, but lets look at some facts about those games: In the win over the Giants, it took a major meltdown by NY for them lose it, Vince did not win that game, he was given it. Against the Jags, he failed to drive the offense over 100 yards, or score any points, the defense won that game, not Vince. Against the Ravens, he let a 26-0 lead vanish and lost the game, 27-26. Against the TEXANS, yes he had that run in OT, but does anyone else remember his performance in that game? 1 TD-3 INTs. He only surpassed a 70% QB rating 5 times, his completion was BARELY above 50%!! He did nothing special during his rookie year except benefit from running and a lot of luck from the team around him.

So really there is no "better" QB in my mind. Michael Vick is just a PR playing QB, and Young was just running in the Option and occasionally completing the short pass.

Answer 4

Young is better at this point in his career without a question. He may be better then Vick is now. Vick has talent and has put his team on his back and won 2 or 3 games in what 6 years, thats not a knock on Vick, most players cant do that, but Young did that at least 3 times in is first year. Vick has more experience then young, but he has never been steady with his play, and til last year had not thrown more the 2 TD in a game.

Answer 5

Vince Young is good but he needs more experience so ill have to go with Michael Vick even though he has a bad off field record, and the dog fighting will fall through so he will get off the hook but it will hurt the teams morale. This is how i rate them Vince Young he needs to mature he will find out he wont be able to run away from the defenders, but because he hasn't injured his knee (yet) and he needs some more recievers. Now Vick he is not the best in accuracy but he is fast just like Vince he more mature even though he is young he will have to retire earlier then normal QB because of his knee.

Answer 6

Michael Vick

Answer 7

Michael Vick

Answer 8

Vince Young is better. He almost lead his team to the playoffs and almost one every start. Sure his numbers aren't pretty but he gets the job done. Also he doesn't have any famous wr's. Yea Michael Vick is a great rushing QB but the fact is Vince Young helps his team win games .In a few years maybe even this year Vince Young will be better no question.

Answer 9

No question it's Vince Young! As Jim Mora Sr. said, "Michael Vick is a coach killer!" And I'm an Atlanta Falcons fan! Vince Young is at least twice the quaterback as Michael Vick. Now as a running back, Michael Vick might take it!

Answer 10

Vince Young in two years will be one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Mike Vick in two years might not even be playing depending on how this dog fighting scandal goes. Althouhg Mike is still young, Vince has so much more potential and showed he can lead the offense in the air or on the ground. That's why he won rookie of the year. Vince Young is a better quarterback, Vick is a better rusher, but overall Vince is better.
