"Why do people choose the substitute over God himself? Probably the most important reason is that it obviates accountability to God. We can meet idols on our own terms because they are our own creations. They are safe, predictable, and controllable; they are, in Jeremiah's colorful language, the 'scarecrows in a cornfield' (10:5). They are portable and completely under the user's control. They offer nothing like the threat of a God who thunders from Sinai and whose providence in this world so often appears to us to be incomprehensible and dangerous . . . [People] need face only themselves. That is the appeal of idolatry."

Whither, Vince Young? indeed.
Quaid. Your take on last two Young starts?
Who? Me? What?
[wiping egg off face] I mean, whatever are you talking about?
So - I give him a pass (pun intended) on the New England game. I mean, it's New England, right? But 4 INTs against the Seahawks? Da-dang. I mean, ouch.
He'll get picked up 3rd string somewhere, but absent more broken ribs, I don't see him starting after this season anywhere again.
On a bright note, Riley Cooper is now a part of my Fantasy Football team. Hopefully, Vick will take to him as much as Master Young has.
