This debate came up a few years ago. Some people touted Vince Young and the guy that was going to change the NFL. When it was pointed out that he had poor mechanics, wasn't accurate, couldn't read defenses and didn't have a lot between his ears, many yelled, "But he is a winner. Isn't that what it is all about? Winning?" When he went to Tennesee and took over and won a few games, his fans puffed out their chest with pride. It was pointed out that the D really stepped up, the runnnng game got a lot better and VY's passing stats were abysmal. "But he is a winner. All he does is win. At the college level or the pro's. He's a winner. And that's what it's all about." I just don't buy it.
He may end up being great. He may change the NFL. He may revolutionize the position. But I don't think he will be sucessful because he is a "winner".
Sorry for the rant. And this wasn't directed soley at you.
