by saying I’m a Horn. However, I wonder if this entire incident hasn’t been blown out of proportion. He had a terrible day on Sunday and probably said something to the effect of “Man, I don’t wanna play this game anymore.” This could have been his feeling at the time, yet it is not indicative of his true desire. However, the media loves to sensationalize everything, and so this blows up into “Vince Young wants to quit football….forever.” Even in the article you mentioned, Jimmy, it says that he was watching football, and was shocked by how much the incident had blown up into.

a solid, unselfish team oriented leader. If that is Collins, great! If not, find that person who is. Young never gave me that feeling of being team oriented, the closest he came was in his rookie season and he was cheering everyone on the sidelines, but his words after games were unsettling and always came back to being about himself, you did not see any other NFL quarterbacks doing that except maybe Rivers for the Chargers. He turned me off big time then and it has not changed. I won’t say anymore about that from this point forward. Honestly I do hope he is able to get through all of this and move on successfully with his life. He has a tremendous amount of physical capabilities, but finding the right niche for him is something that will need to be done. IT should not be as an NFL quarterback though.

I am not expecting Brady type performance, but he doesn’t have to be that guy. He just needs to maintain possession and make SMART decisions The rest of the team can more than hold its own. One thing to keep in mind though from Sunday with the Jags is that their offensive line was playing 2nd stringers throughout most of the game, no wonder Garrard was sacked 7 times. The Titans D looked extra great against them partly because of that, but they should do very well this weekend as well. Chris Johnson is a top notch performer and White is a nice compliment to him. The Titans should roll.

I think everyone needs to step back and relax. Vince’s career isn’t over, and the ship hasn’t sailed on him being a bust.

Most will agree that the “it” factor has been missing since his rookie year. At some point, the game stopped being fun to him. A “crisis” like this may be exactly what he needs, and the injury may be good timing. Take 2-4 weeks off, evaluate things, and hope the attitude has changed when he gets back.

“I was wrong about Vince. To the people I castigated or offended while defending VY, I apologize*.”

What were you wrong about?

I’ll take Snuffleupagus as my QB and our D and running game will still beat the Colts in both locations this year.

On VY: what an embarrassment to the legacy of Michael Jordan. MJ taught this generation that you don’t succeed without failure. Also, he taught everyone about the necessity of mental toughness in order to succeed not only at just sports, but at anything worth doing.

The exact moment I hear that VY quits the team, I will burn my VY jersey, and the Titans should not EVER allow him back on the team again.

Irony: didn’t we get rid of another previous first-round draft pick earlier this year to avoid so-called “distractions”?

But I agree, we are at a crossroads where VY’s career will explode supernova-style or he’ll succeed as a QB in this league as a direct result of triumphing over this adversity.

If he gets some mental toughness, and then owns up to his previous mistakes and behavior issues, then I think everyone would agree it would be nice to have him back.

Regardless of the end result, it is still a disgrace we have to even discuss this right now.

sure none of this news has been very encouraging but just chill for a bit. First of all you really cannot believe half of what the media tells you. especially when you consider the media, for the most part, hates vince and has hated him for a while. so of course they will make this sound like the end of the world. another thing is the team is still here. as much as we wanted it to be true the team is not about vince young. he isnt even one of the top 5 most important people on the field. this football team is about running the football and playing defense and looking at Sundays game, we can do both. its not an exciting brand of football but its won us a lot of games last year, not vince. i wish he would develop and mature into a great qb but i dont think out success really hinges on him. also regarding kerry, i don’t think he is the answer or even the better of the two. they are about equal to me but all we need him to do is play mistake free football. let the team take care of itself, it will trust me. we just cant have our qb ruining things for us. just chill out trust me things will work out.

and does anyone else think that they way vinces mom is reacting is sorta like clarence downtown funky stuff malones mom on semi pro? thats just what im seeing.

he is really that weak minded. My hunch is that he will want to come out and prove everybody wrong, which is the attitude a competitor should have. If he really makes a decision to retire that is unfortunate that such a large amount of money was completely and totally wasted on him .
 I think it is taking a long time for him to say something because A.) he is so embarrased by his own behavior or B.) he just doesn’t feel that he needs to say anything to account for his actions and feels that the public should just let up on him.

i accept your apploigies for saying vince young and his wonderlick score speaks volumes about his mental abilties.
  he may have been good in highschool and college but he looks like he cant make the transition to the nfl. he looks like a mediocore collge qwaterback out there playing in the nfl
  i always thought a jay cutler would have been a better choice and it has come to pass that he is indeed a better all around qwaterback at this point and we would have been much better served as fan by picking jay instead of this this mental weakling.
   they need to call him on his wanting to quit. if you dont want to play then leave and see what he says to that when hes sitting on the cornor drinking his 40. he needs to quit then maybe and only then will he realize its not all about him.
 his mommy has probally givin him everyting he want s when he crys and starts to pout so its translating to the nfl now.
   just sucks if you think about all of our high draft choices we had to pay for by being lousy the year before. we have wasted all of them. pacman 6th overall gone, vince what was he 3rd pick? mental breakdown along with cris henry. what a waste of draft picks. someobody needs to do some mental evaulations of these guys before we make the same mistakes again.
