Romeo had Derek Anderson.



Id take a chance on Peyton. If it doesnt work out, at least we tried.

I know Im gonna go against the grain on this one too, but I would sign Vince Young (not over Orton, though)

I think Vince is a similar type of cat as Derrick Johnson used to be, prior to Romeo (and Haley).

Very talented, flashes elite ability...but very inconsistent and can be a liability due to that factor. He seems to lack a "father figure" type that believes in him and can get through the defense mechanisms and get him to stay focused and dedicated.

It would be worth a shot to see if Romeo can be that guy for the kid if we cant sign Orton and the cost to move up in this draft is deemed too high.

One thing is for sure.

He wins football games.

I will always think that Jeff Fisher was a fool to play all the mind games with the kid.

When the kid played, the team played well and won games. When he sat, they looked like crap and were one of the worst teams in football.

The fact that the owner had to step in and TELL Fisher to play the quarterback the team WON GAMES WITH is crazy as ****.
Nice observation. I hadn't thought of it in that perspective.
