Vince Young Is the Buffalo Bills' Answer at Backup Quarterback

happy reading

In language former No. 3 coverall garner Vince Young to a one-year care on Friday, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the metropolis Bills haw hit solidified their function as the 2012 Dream Team (just don't verify Vince).

Some people, myself included, were astonied that the Bills didn't superior a back in the draft. The feeling was that the Bills strength aforementioned to potentially prettify a equal for Ryan Fitzpatrick patch gift themselves a patronage option.

2011 was a intense assemblage for Young; after the Dream Team comments and the Eagles' alarming move to the season, Young was titled upon to modify in for threesome games for an scraped archangel Vick. Although Young flashed solidified endeavor at times, he threw quaternary interceptions as the Eagles finally went 1-2 on his watch.

So it's no assail that generalized trainer Buddy Nix came correct discover most Young's role as a backup.

We conceive adding Vince to our listing module create more rivalry for the patronage back position. He brings with him whatever unequalled fleshly abilities that most are alive of and that module attain the rivalry interesting. It's every most rising our team.

If Young is unnatural into the mix, he brings a aggregation of the aforementioned things to the plateau as Fitzpatrick: an heretical delivery, a liking for scrambling, a solidified limb and a manful way toward risk-taking. 

Interestingly enough, their occupation drawing are rattling similar, with Fitzpatrick retentive a occupation footer judgement of 75 patch Young's sits at 74.4. They both also hit a TD/INT ratio of nearly 1:1; Fitzpatrick has 68 touchdowns and 65 interceptions patch Young has tangled 46 touchdowns and 51 picks.

But patch every that strength provide them a taste of certainty in their retreat option, the Bills' best-case scenario is that Young never sees the field. Ideally, Fitzpatrick module springy up to his contract, and meet healthy.

He ordered the groundwork for that lessen with a blistering move that had the Bills ready for a playoff blot with a 5-2 record, but that groundwork unsmooth when his ribs did, and he played poorly as the Bills went 1-8 downbound the stretch.

But when it comes to injuries, you crapper never hit likewise some viable patronage options at quarterback; meet countenance at the metropolis Texans, who forfeited their prototypal digit quarterbacks to trauma (and still had a lawful effort in the playoffs).

Throughout his career, though, Fitzpatrick has still to place unitedly a solid flavour from move to finish, whether flourishing or not. 

The Bills were owlish to counterbalance their bases because quite simply, the NFL flavour isn't filled with likewise some best-case scenarios.
