Best Case
Vince Young is 30-17 as an NFL starter, has a respectable 58% completion rate, and his 6.8 yards per attempt is rock solid. That's to say nothing of his mobility. Those tools are a recipe for success under the right system, and Andy Reid believes Young can be the same kind of impact quarterback that Michael Vick has become in 2 seasons in Philly. Young gets the opportunity to rebuild his confidence, backing up an MVP candidate while learning from one of the game's best QB coaches. If Young's number gets called, the Eagles are stacked from top to bottom with offensive talent to make his life easier.
Worst Case
Young will be forever linked to the unceremonious way his time in Tennessee ended. Once considered the savior of the franchise, he was deemed expendable for Kerry Collins. That's as low as it gets. In spite of a winning record, Young has a lot to learn as an NFL pocket passer. He's thrown just 42 touchdowns in 47 starts, and has as many interceptions. At this point, he needs to learn how to read defenses, and be able to make throws to his third and fourth outlets.
Outlook
The Eagles have one of the youngest, most explosive offenses in the league and should Young get the chance to play (because of a Michael Vick injury), he could produce immediately. His rushing ability combined with the play-making abilities of Jackson, Maclin, McCoy and company will lead to quite a few quality fantasy weeks.
