    Once again, the AP are a bunch of idiots. How does a QB with a 66.7 qb rating beat out a WR with 1083 yards (and missed 3 games with an injury)?

    Don't exactly agree with their selection, but everyone saw it coming a mile away. He's a QB that won 8 in a row as a rookie that came in partially into a season. The guy he replaced was 0-for. He singlehandedly won a couple of those games, too.

    0-5 start

    8-3 finish

    Colston didn't get "shafted"

    Vince Young won 2-3 games down the stretch by himself.

    pretty much all of them by himself. quick, name 5 guys on the titans offense. ok make it 3.

    nevermind, they dont matter. vy deserved it and i love me some marques but his injury killed his chance.

    I give more credit for the titans wins to henry.. he had 6 100 yard rushing games during that turnaround.
    Young = Slow Vick...

    Had Colston not go down with the injury and would have been able to stay in front of everyone, even while VY was playing he would have won the award.

    Out of sight, out of mind!

    This thread is a joke. Anyone who took the time to watch VY play this year knows he was VERY deserving of the award!

    Saints homers are hilarious. Even moreso than normal Saints fans.

    No one can argue that VY and LDT did not deserve their awards any more than they could argue against Colston and Brees had they won. The only thing that bothers me is that the media pre-ordained the winners long before any voting ever took place.
