Quarterback Vince Young was spectacular in leading the Titans to their fifth straight win Sunday, a 20-17 victory over the Cardinals that ended with Young leading the winning 99-yard touchdown drive.

Young played a very efficient game. He is throwing the ball much better than at any point of his career and with excellent touch. He consistently moved his team. Maybe most impressive, Young’s deep ball was dead on against a formidable Cardinals secondary. On the last drive of the game, Young did what he always seems to do in these situations -- he came through in the clutch.



This could be yet another turning point in Young’s career. There are a few reasons for Young’s revival and all were very prevalent in this game. First off, the coaching staff and his supporting cast have all done a terrific job around him and in best utilizing his strengths and weaknesses without ever putting too much on his plate at one time.

Second, he is confident. Success breeds success and Young appears to be far more secure now with his position on this team and what he is capable of doing on the field. He has matured both on and off the field.

Third, he just isn’t making the big mistake. Young trusts his teammates and realizes that there is little good that can come out of him forcing an issue. He is very content to throw the ball away and live to fight another down or series.

Lastly, he is throwing the ball much better than he ever has as a professional. He is accurate. His touch is superb, but he also has the firepower to get the ball into tight areas. We had not seen this out of him before this point.
