Titans quarterback Vince Young increased his record to 4-0 over his hometown team when Tennessee pulled out a 20-17 victory over the Texans on Monday night.

The day after the Titans' victory, fans called Houston talk shows and besieged blogs claiming that Young is a better quarterback than Matt Schaub and Houston would have been better off drafting Young over defensive end Mario Williams in 2006.

Young, who won his fourth consecutive start since replacing Kerry Collins, was 12 of 22 for 116 yards and a touchdown. He didn't throw an interception. He lost a fumble. He wasn't sacked. His passer rating was 84.7.

Young did more damage with his legs than his arm, especially on third down.
