The Philadelphia Eagles need Vince Young to step up

Found November 23, 2011 on Eagles Locker:
PLAYERS: Vince Young,  Michael Vick
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  New York Giants

28-year old QB Vince Young is basking in the glow of winning his first start of the year over the division rival New York Giants.  He has been getting a lot of press saying that he should be the starting QB even when Michael Vick is ready to return to action.  That is nuts!  Young has played in 3 games for the Eagles so far this year and he has completed 23 of 37 passes (62.2%) for 258 yards with 2 TD passes and 4 INTs (61.4 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 7 times for 7 yards (1.0 ypc) so far this year.  Young is not a better QB than Micheal Vick, period.  But for now, the Eagles need Young to step up and play better than he did against the Giants as long as he is in the starting lineup.
