    Voleks performance in preseason was terrible and if he got called out he deserved it. Many here talk about the coaches taking the team back then when one calls a player out in a meeting and the coach is at fault. If this happened Chow didn't do it in the paper he kept it in house thats the way it should have been done. It's interesting that Volek had no problems with the system until he performed so poorly. How do we know how good the system works when the OL can't run block, QBs are constatly pressured and WR's drop passes in critical situations.. VY looks pretty good in the system and quite frankly outperformed Volek and Collins. Volek is not a starting QB in this league and never will be and if he didn't want to share reps with VY or turn the starting job over to him midseason if VY is ready then good riddance.

    actually I think you missed the point. Volek knew and he said it by not mentioning Chow. Reading betwen the lines is always fun ;)

    I wonder if it really all boiled down to the meeting BIlly and Jeff had where Billy had aledgedly commented on in a maner that did not sit well with Fish

    if so, then that's pretty pety
    especially since Billy was probably right

    of course Young looked pretty good esp when you are playing against 2nd or 3rd string guys. Even in the Chargers game he was playing against a 2 team defense that had slacked off.
    When Young played against the Chargers 1st team D he was lost. Go back and look. He did no better than Collins :moon2:

    Vince got one first half series, so it's really not fair to compare his production with Collins. I respectfully submit that your comment about moving the ball against "2nd and 3rd string guys" isn't entirely true. I remember the TD drive was against mostly starters.

    This is the play by play of the last two drives led by VY from nfl.com:

    Tennessee Titans at 07:59
    1-10-TEN31 (7:59) V.Young pass short right to B.Jones to TEN 41 for 10 yards (Q.Jammer). Jammer is a starter

    VY was able to complete some passes some were open some were throws that had to be in the right place. Collins didn't get passes to wide open receivers and had a QB rating of 1.3. The system is not the problem with Collins , Collins is the problem. I don't love Chow's system either at this point but how can you tell when the offense can't stay on the field and WR's drop passes when they are thrown. Some people here since he was benched all of a sudden make it sound like Volek was an all pro, he is a back up and won't get a lot of playing time in SD unless Rivers gets hurt. VY HAS OUT PERFORMED COLLINS NO CRAP JUST FACT.

    I don't know, besides the "he sucks" reason, I can,t find anything. Sure, we could have held off on the KC signing and let him start the season, but do you really think we'd be different than 0-2?

    In today's San Diego Union-Tribune, Billy talks about his discussions with the Charger OC.

    Billy says the offensive system is "PHENOMENAL."

    I don't ever recall him saying that about Chow's system.

    Hmmmmm......
