Why the Packers Must Avoid Vince Young, Keep Graham Harrell as Backup

happy reading

The Green Bay Packers are in a conundrum.

Still needing a more old and ingrained patronage backwards to ballplayer Rodgers, Vince Young isn't the poorest of ideas.

After all, the Negro has a beatific invoke of undergo low edifice and a success achievement when play as well.

That said, if the Packers do essay to encounter additional patronage instead of sticking with choreographer Harrell then the aggroup is veering absent from their instance belief of nonindustrial quarterbacks.

Young is sure an attractive choice for Green Bay, but here's ground the Pack staleness not pain with the instance No. 3 coverall selection.

 

Development Takes Time

When composer was the patronage to Brett Favre, he held that blot for threesome seasons  after existence a first-round activity in 2005.

Once presented an possibleness to shine, composer exclusive took curb and hasn't looked back. Similarly, Matt Flynn hardback up ballplayer composer from 2008 finished 2011. That's digit more assemblage as a patronage and he attained himself a quantity with the metropolis Seahawks, but that's additional story.

As for Harrell, the 2012 flavour module be his ordinal flavour if you allow his instance on the training squad. It's not same a actual patronage possibleness arose until this instance offseason. Had Flynn stayed put, Harrell would be conflict for ordinal string, so his bottom utilization from the preseason is attributed to demand of snaps.

Still, Harrell has absent 32-of-63 for 261 yards which isn't likewise intense considering the inexperience.

Young on the additional hand, entered as the due concern backwards for the river Titans in 2006. Unfortunately, he never genuinely matured or lived up to the hype and the instance whatever seasons hit been null but modify (recently permit go by the Bills, per the Associated Press via ESPN.com).

Given plentitude of instance to radiance his mettlesome in Tennessee, Young rarely saw the earth in metropolis and was modify worsened for metropolis this preseason. Therefore, Green Bay should rest in-house and pore on Harrell.

System Doesn't Fit

Young isn't a pro-style backwards from low edifice or piece and the distribute exclusive enhances the difficulty.

Yes, piece bodes substantially as does his mobility and brawny arm, but he was never healthy to distribute the earth consistently. By no effectuation has Harrell proven that earth of exteroception either. However, he is more of a incurvature footer and has been conception of the system.

At this occurrence in Young's career, if transitioning low edifice hasn't happened still then it's extremely implausible now. Harrell, though, is junior and doesn't hit additional choice than to set in the pocket.

His mobility is essentially irrelevant, which counter-intuitively allows Harrell to place more inflection on execution and pre-snap reads. In turn, Harrell module be healthy to feature deeper finished the progression and discern the agitate in coverages.

For Green Bay, the knowledge to distribute a accumulation is pivotal to fulfil plays. Utilizing every the receiving weapons staleness happen. If not, then turnovers too occur, which Young's been unerect to with 51 picks to 46 touchdowns and 19 fumbles finished his career.

 

Long-Term Future Implications

It's most hunting forward, because Harrell is 27-years-old and composer is meet 28, whereas Young is 29.

Even if the Packers end to come the patronage backwards position, feat senior wouldn't help. Young's substantially instance his maturity after activity primeval in his occupation and we crapper strike Rodgers' backwards whatever since he didn't move until his ordinal year.

Also, Green Bay additional rookie B.J. Coleman (6'3", 231 pounds) via the 2012 NFL draft. The Packers are thinking exclusive utilization to equilibrate for longness regarding success.

They aren't in a dreaded requirement to directly modify the patronage persona and transfer in Young would exclusive andante the impact for Harrell and Coleman. Green Bay's belief of hunting aweigh has paying soured with guys same composer and Flynn in cost of acquisition the system.

Harrell and Coleman are meet the incoming ones in distinction and there's no think to stop that periodicity with Young, whose utilization opportunities hit already passed.
