Vince Young, QB

The season that everybody wants to forget, but never actually will. To say that 2011 was a disaster is an absolute understatement. The Eagles came into the season as playoff contenders and were expected to make a serious run. Former Tennesee Titans quarterback Vince Young signed with the Eagles and would eventually put a label on the team that set everybody off.

Young claimed that the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles were a “Dream Team.” With the beloved Mike Vick under center, Young believed that the Eagles could do no wrong no matter who was at quarterback. Well, Young got his chance when Vick went down, and did everything but impress.

The Eagles finished off with an 8-8 record that year, and Young would never play football in NFL ever again. He finished off the season with four touchdowns and nine interceptions, with a poor passer rating of 60.8. In other words, the Eagles were far from a dream team, and Vince Young is pretty much not welcome back to Lincoln Financial Field.
