DallasBillsFan1 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I haven't caught every snap that VY has taken in pre-season, but the ones I've seen have been have been lackluster at best. The only positive thing I can say has to do with his scrambling, which he seems to do a lot. The throws I have seen have either been over-thrown, or near interceptions (throwing into tight coverage or not seeing defender at all). What happened to the VY of the early Titan years? I recall he kicked Bills a** in his rookie year ... not only with his scrambling but his laser accurate passes. I'm concerned if he ends up being our #2, and you should be too.

DanInUticaTampa Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The "awful" seems way off though. Last week I would have agreed, but he looked a lot better tonight. He looked like good backup material actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He looked more consistent tonight. The bomb he had to Graham was very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnyBacker Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Are you watching the same game as everyone else???? Cause if u are would u please explain why he looks awful, especially in comparison to Fitz and thigg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 When was he "laser accurate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VADC Bills Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) He looks decent tonight. The more reps he gets the better he looks. I think you are referring to the first game and not this one. Edited August 18, 2012 by VADC Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doro Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I am more worried about the starters than the backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I am more worried about the starters than the backups. I'm optimistic because the running game is so bad. Spiller is good and Freddie is good and the line is the same as last year, in most of its pieces. That didn't fall apart over the summer, so the reason must be that the intensity for the starting offense is just too low in preseason to yield meaningful results. Hopefully not wishful thinking, but the panic button is still under glass. I won't look for the hammer until halftime of the Jets game, at least.

White Linen Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Compared to Fitz he looked like he should start. I'm worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He's the only 1 of the 3 with starter presence on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He looked better than the Bills starter but that not saying much. In fact although its pre-season the starting quarterback reminds me of his play last year with "rib" issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We will know at the end of this season that Fitz was battling through a rib injury sustained early in the first preseason game..... No worries guys he has a beard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Young looked much better tonight (not perfect, he will never be) than last week. I have not been as down on Tyler Thigpen as most here, but he was pretty bad tonight, when it counted most.. that 4th & 5 worm burner he threw to Namman (I think it was NR) gave me bad flashbacks of Losman...and then I started thinking, he is a lot like Losman....can look pretty good at times, and then just awful when you think he getting in a groove... Anyway, Tasker made, I thought, a good point about Young. His athleticism, and arm strength, give him a better chance of coming off the bench and pulling a game out, if needed, than Thigpen. Young is likely always going to have some maddening tendancies, but as we saw, tonight on the hook-up with Graham, his big play-making ability can keep a team in a game... as Tasker said, as a backup, he wouldn't get as much practice, so being able to rely on his athletic skill (and he has a lot of that) just gives him a big advantage over a guy like Thigpen. Thigpen isn't a bad athlete either, but he doesn't have VY's combo of size and speed. I enjoyed watching Young tonight. It was all downhisll after he went out of the game...kinda wished Chan would have left him in the final 4:30 of the 3rd, just to see if he could put the Bills in the lead. Young may not put together a lot of long, sustained, efficient, time consuming drives...he is more likely, rather than an efficient 15 play, 80 yard drive, to give you a 5 play 70 yard drive, where 62 of the yards come on one play...and you want to tear your hair out the other 4 plays. Yea I think he solidified his backup job tonight cant really say he looked awful in any way. Funny, I agree with you pretty much...but where he looks pretty awful is short passes....he just isn't accurate on short passes...when somebody referred to his "laser like accuracy" earlier in the thread, they were likely thinking of his early days with the Titans, when he threw a fair number of deep, accurate passes to pull out games....I like his long ball....but he still struggles on the short stuff. He just isn't that guy who can fit a short, tight pass into traffic for a drive sustaining completion...but he might be able to scramble, at elite level, and have the same effect. Being in Austin, I have been watching the guy for all of his college, and quite a bit of his pro-career (he is a god here, they show VY whenever they can...might get more Bills games here if he ever starts). He might not be the most coachable QB ever...and honestly, I think that is where he and Jeff Fisher just clashed...Fisher wanted him to be something he can't be. I think Gailey, maybe as much as anyone in the NFL, can get the best out of him, if it ever comes to that point.
