Why I Love Vince Young

by Jimmy on May 11, 2007 8:07 AM CDT in Tennessee Titans News

Yesterday afternoon the news was blique. Pacman was still stupid, Givens was still hurt and LenDale was still fat. Today though I am reminded why I love Vince. Just read this quote from Jim Wyatt's article this morning:

The Titans had been off the field for just a few hours Thursday, their second minicamp practice of the offseason in the books. Most players were out the door at Baptist Sports Park, some on their way out of town for a long weekend.

As offensive coordinator Norm Chow sat in his office, a phone call from outside the building interrupted the silence. On the other end it was quarterback Vince Young. He wanted to know how Chow, after studying the practice tape, thought he performed.

Don't you just love that? He is going to be a star because of things like this.

The whole article is a great read. I also like this quote from Vince:

"(But) it is not Vince, it is not all about Vince," Young said. "Everybody thinks Vince Young this and Vince that, but it is a whole another group of guys. We all have to take care of our assignments and responsibilities. We have to come together as a team, with me just being one of the leaders on the team."

He has already become a superstar, but he has made it clear that it is not all about him. Last year he raised the productivity of everyone around him. He is going to do that again this year. There are just a select few athletes in the history of sports that have the ability to make every single player around them better. I really think we will be talking about Vince in that sentence when his career is over.

In Vince, I trust

I can't remember ever being this confident in a 2nd year quarterback before...Right now there is no doubt in my mind we are witnessing the beginnings of one of the greatest NFL careers ever...

Big words? Yes, but I believe them 100%....Vince has me convinced...

Without a doubt -

He has the ability to make his own futute. I never wanted a "Fathead" before, but after seening the Houston OT game last year, I proptly ordered one. VY is now a family member, I see him everyday, and it freakin rocks!!

It's people like

Vince is why I think we are going to be amazing this year. We are worried because Travis Henrys' gone and Benett and Wade. But Just remember at the first of '06 we weren't thinking that Travis is going to be our star running back and the WRs are going to be big. After going 0-5 till comming withen a little bit of making it, there is very little doubt in my mind that we're going to be even better. And we added a lot of talent in our new rookies. So Titans '07...here we come!
