inVINCEable.

Vince Young is the real deal. Seriously.

At first, I didn't believe he could turn his career around. With the (reported) suicide talks, the death of his mentor Steve McNair, and the fact that Jeff Fisher wouldn't let him see the field even with a struggling Kerry Collins - there was no hope in my mind that Vince would amount to anything on the Titans.

And as a life-long Titans fan, I would have to say that I have NEVER been more proud of an individual player than I am right now of Vince Young.

Watching him in the two games (vs. IND, at NE) he replaced Collins left me with not much hope. It seemed like he didn't care out there and was just going through the motions. Fans were getting ruthless, thinking "when can we cut this dead weight?" I called for him to start after the bye week because we didn't have a chance at the playoffs and it would build trade value if he went out there and played half-decent.

And then what happens? He completes 83.3 percent of his passes and tosses a touchdown in a blowout win over division rival Jacksonville. Yes, Chris Johnson was the main story with over 200 rushing yards and two scores, but when the Titans were forced to throw, Vince didn't make any mistakes. That game restored a little faith in me, but I still didn't think he would pull the complete turn around.

Another win - this time against an underrated Niners team in my opinion - and suddenly the Titans have won two straight win Vince under center. He didn't look flashy, but didn't turn the ball over and even showed his Texas colors on a quarterback draw play that resulted in a touchdown.

And suddenly, Titans fans held their breath. One of Vince's passes against Buffalo sailed on him and was picked off by Jarius Byrd. I guarantee there were some doubters that thought that he was done, that the turnover was the first to come of Vince. As the saying goes - when it rains, it pours.

But then Vince came out the next drive and drove the Titans down the field to set up a field goal to end the half. Rob Bironas missed it, but it was nice to see that he didn't get fazed over the previous interception and went out there to lead his team. In the end, he had 210 yards passing and a touchdown, while completing 17-25 passes in another blowout win.

Riding a three-game winning streak, they had a Monday Night match-up against their rival Houston, in what was dubbed the "biggest game in team history" for the Texans. (I could talk about how the Houston Texans are a joke, but that's besides the point.) On the national stage, Vince was hyped and led the Titans down the field on a game-winning drive to put a huge damper in Houston's playoff hopes. Again, he turned the ball over once - via fumble - but came out the next drive and led the team to a score. His clutch third down runs with nothing open downfield kept drives alive and in turn, won the game and kept the Titans' slim playoff hopes alive.

And now, what can you say about yesterday's performance? Against a solid Arizona defense, Vince threw for a career-high 387 yards, but that wasn't the most impressive thing about his play.

Down by four with 2:51 left, the Cardinals were forced to punt. Instead of fair catching the ball around the 10 yard line, Kevin Kasviharn tried to block LaRod Stephens-Howling and failed; Stephens-Howling downed the punt at the one yard line with 2:37 on the clock. Vince and the Titans had 99 yards to go to pull off another win. Things looked very bleak.

And they continued to look bleak as the Titans faced a fourth and four. But Vince calmly dropped back and fired a strike to Kenny Britt to keep the drive alive. (To be fair, Britt made an incredible catch on the play and bailed out Vince in a way. He's going to be a special player.) He converted another fourth down and got the ball to the ten yard line with six seconds left. As he took the snap, instead of running and making a play with his legs like I thought he would, Vince threw a jump ball over the middle to Britt. Britt used his 6'3" frame to catch it and hung on after a tough hit, which won the game. Behind the Music City Miracle, that was probably the greatest finish to any Titans game I've watched. Rob Bironas' 60-yard field goal to beat the Colts ranks right behind this.

Surprisingly, for how inconsistent Vince's NFL career has been, this latest comeback was his ninth game-winning/tying drive in the fourth quarter/overtime. When you think of clutch quarterbacks, names that come to mind are: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Kurt Warner, etc. Vince should be in the top 10 of that list, not necessarily top five. The stats don't lie; he's a very clutch player near the end of ball games.

He's still not there yet - as in the upper echelon in quarterbacks - but he's progressing every game and he has proven that he can become a good, if not great quarterback in this league.

I believe in Vince Young and you should too.
