I challenge you to look through the years starting with 2006 and see where he ranks (in AFC alone) in terms of QB. He's not even remotely close to the other QBs. Hell, Garrard is a better QB than Young. The only way he got into the Pro-Bowl is if Brady, Rivers, Manning, Palmer, Garrard, etc decline the Pro-bowl invite. As far as that record goes, sure that had nothing to do with a top notch defense and a guy who rushes for 2,000 yards. Nope. Fischer nor Chow wanted to draft Young at the time. You can thank Bud Adams for that fiasco.
Also, that Rookie of the Year crap was a sham.
51.5 completion %, 12 TDs, 13 Ints, 2199 yards, 66.7 QB rating
....compared to this rookies numbers
941 yards rushing, 5.7 avg, 15 TDs, 46 receptions, 436 yards receiving
Now who do you think deserved Rookie of the Year? I"m going with Maurice Jones Drew. Stop buying the smoke they are blowing up your ass. It's all hype. |
Please add:
553 yds rushing, 7 TD's rushing, 31 First downs rushing
Total Offense from VY in 2006 (15 games):
2751 yards, 19 TD's, 13 INT's, 2 lost fumbles
FYI: Started off 0-4 as starter his rookie season (missed third game), finished 8-3 the last 11 games of rookie year.
Thus, Rookie of the Year.
