VY vs Hoge

I've always liked Merril Hoge, but I'm not sure what he's trying to prove by discounting Vince Young's every success. I don't think he has anything against Young, but he's being hardheaded and making himself look like a dolt in the process.
With the help of YouTube, you can see Hoge's comments spliced with VY highlights and come up with your own opinion.

This doesn't even include Young's 39-yard game-winning romp against the Texans, and oh by the way, according to Hoge, Young made a mental mistake when he didn't throw on that third-and-14. He should have found Bobby Wade in the slot.

"If that ball comes out, [Wade] probably scores," Hoge said.

Darrell K Royal once said that only three things can happen when you throw and two of them are bad. Young kept it on the ground here and found the endzone himself. Furthermore, throwing in that situation is questionable if a run will net you even four or five. Facing third-and-long in overtime, the primary purpose of that play was to improve the field goal kicker's shot at winning the game. Scoring wasn't the goal; extending the drive wasn't even the goal.

Winning the game was, and the Titans did just that in memorable fashion thanks to VY's rookie antics.
