Just talked to Vince Young. He thanked Titans fans and said he was sad about decision. Also said he never felt like Fisher trusted him. "I thank Bud Adams and Jeff Fisher for giving me a chance to win the Super Bowl. I tried my best, I really did. I am bitter a little bit, because I’ll miss the guys . From the trainers to the janitors, I appreciated everyone there. I have nothing against Jeff Fisher. I just wish he would have trusted me a little more. That was the only issue. I didn’t feel like (Jeff) trusted me. In the five years I was there, I was always looking over my shoulder. I feel like (Jeff) was continuing to treat me like I was a young man when I'd really grown up a whole lotI didn’t feel like I was his guy all the way. I put in a lot of work and my stats and my winning, it showed I had grown. Everything was my fault. But that’s over now . I wish Coach Fisher and Bud Adams and all my coaches and teammates best. I will continue to keep working. Wherever I go I will be committed like I am committed to everything."

This is going to have to be widely debated.
If the top QBs are gone, we need to go defense first and QB later. In a later round, or next year. I don’t think you want to pick a QB just for the sake of picking a QB. But its hard to pass up on the most important position.

Best case scenario
Vince gets to stop “looking over his soulder” and pointing fingers, same for Fisher.
He’s got a lot left to prove, especially to other teams in the league, who he hopes to play for.
He certainly had his moments, The OT run against the Texans, Rookie of the year, The comeback against the Giants, His 6-2 record last year highlighted by the 99 yard drive against the Cards. As well as some decent moments before it all went down hill this year.
For Vince’s sake I hope he does prove us wrong, but I won’t be holding my breath for it.

VY to replace Favre
at least that’s my guess. Oakland is another option. If he wakes up and smells the coffee, he’ll be OK. If not, he’s still a rich son of a gun.
What a F#@%ing waste – the guy should have been better for the Titans.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Kyle Orton ended up in Nashville and had a locker next to Finnegan.
The Vets Out There...
1. Kolb/Vick
2. Orton
3. McNabb
4. Favre
What other vets we thinkin/lookin at?
If we take someone in the draft, we should trade out of 8, trade down, too many needs.
Favre is done, and even if he wasn't, I wouldn't want anything to do with him at this point in his career.
Of the above, Orton isn’t the sexy pick but he could be a nice stop-gap, game manager type while a rookie was groomed.
I’m all for grabbing a rookie in the first round and throwing them into the fire, recent history has worked out well for guys like Ryan and Flacco, and the common denominator for those guys was a solid O-line and good running game. Same situation could happen here.

but no way in hell it happens. i wouldnt mind trading a mid draft pick for mcnabb though
I would take
Kyle Orton in a heartbeat at this point, ditch Collins/let him retire and then draft a QB we can groom for a year.
Orton = already better than any other QB we’d get (no way Eagles let Vick walk) and probably cheaper than most.
Titans fan from England. Believe it.
Wonder how quick he'll be picked up in free agency?
Things for other teams to consider that could hamper how quick he’s picked up:
1) Injury prone – Quad in 2007, Knee in 2008, Hamstring/Knee/Thumb this year
2) Mental stability – Suicide Watch 2008 (carried over to 2009), this year’s meltdown, and don’t forget he almost considered retiring after his rookie year
3) Developement – This might be the least considered because he had a fairly successful 2010 campaign until he went on IR
But he has his positives too, he improved as a passer this year and can make plays on the run. I think he’ll be picked up quickly but not as quick as others will.
Go Vols! Go Titans! Go My Fantasy Team!
He is too much of a talent physically to pass up. I think a lot of teams will be interested.

Peter King is pretty in tune with the news of the league.
I was just on SI now and I found this for us:
According to one team source, Young had about four or five players in the Titans locker room who remained loyal to him and took his side in his highly publicized showdown with Fisher. The rest believed the team needed to cut ties with Young, and if it hadn’t, there would have resulted in a line of players at Reinfeldt’s door requesting an offseason trade.

Well the 3 games they qouted
CJ is the one who came across as the most supportive
Witherspoon comments said There’s a part of me that wishes I could have maintained the opportunity to continue to play with Vince and see him become the quarterback I believe he can become in the future, but this was a business decision and Mr. Adams made the decision that he felt was best for the franchise. I’m sure Mr. Adams felt like he’s got to do what’s best for the team
Break that down a bit in that he said “see him become the quarterback I believe he can become in the furture” VY is already 1/3 into his career. When does the future come and NO one (myself included) has never said he didn’t have potential. He just isn’t doing it.
And Jone’s comments said he is surprised it was this fast. So meaning he expected something like this. When the overall header of the Acticle is miss-leading because the surprise is in different forms
Vince should go to Philly.
They have done a great job with Vick, and Vick could teach him what kind of work it takes to properly resurrect a career.

A source told me the vast majority of Titans players had grown frustrated with Young’s repeated maturity issues, and he still hadn’t progressed to the point where he could seamlessly call plays in the huddle, or commit himself to the work and preparation required of an NFL starting quarterback. Adams was made aware of how widespread the rest of the locker room felt hamstrung and held back by Young’s lack of development.

Not sure Vince fits the Belichick mold (he wouldn’t be able to withstand the mental beatings) but going along with your line of thought, what about the Saints? Payton’s coming off a Super Bowl. Drew Brees is outstanding and going nowhere anytime soon. I don’t think Vince will go there simply because he’d rather play for a crappy team than be a backup for a good team, but perhaps it would be a good career move to learn under Payton and Brees. There’s a lot of offensive talent there too.

Washington: Shanny would never pick him up after hearing how bad he was from his best friend Fisher or would he look at Rex Grossman and call Tom Condon.

Nice statement, but, my sympathies are limited
It’s the NFL.
You’re always looking over your shoulder. Get used to it. Put in the work to be as good as you can possibly be, cause there’s always another guy. Put in the work and you’ll earn some trust; don’t just get it for being who you are. People give you trust when they see you’re committed to them – being good but half-assing and considering yourself special, doesn’t get it.

A TOAS TO VINCE YOUNG
CHAMPAGNE TO MY REAL FRIENDS….REAL PAIN TO MY SHAM FRIENDS
I hope you do go to the Jags so you can get plastered by CAPTAIN MORGAN and complain and cry and throw a fit.
that is all.
CJ2K KNOWS
Vince Young needs to go to a place where they don't boo
In other words he should petition to get back his lost year of eligibility and go play for the Longhorns next year. They certainly could use the help.
Re-Entering the Draft
Your comment reminds me of this little gem from a couple of years ago:
To all the Titans fans!!!
You team has no future with JF as your HC!!! mark my words on that!

Thank
We’ve long been aware of this, but the front office just doesn’t listen to us.

Is that you Vince?
Fisher might get the axe as well. Only half way through the week and Bud hasn’t said either way if he keeping him or not.

I was thinking the same thing
I was also thinking how much more often we MCMers seem to right as a group.
For instance:
1. Who said Nick Harper was done?
2. Ditto for Chris Hope.
3. Who said that Jeff Fisher and Vince couldn’t work together weeks ago?
4. Who said we should have kept Blount?
5. Who doesn’t understand why Donnie Nickey is on the roster?
6. Who said you should have picked up the phone and to call Kevin Mawae and Keith Bulluck?
7. Who said play Jared Cook?
There is probably more

I'd completely
forgotten he had worn his hair like that for awhile, till that video. It’ll take me several more years to purge the image of that hairdo thoroughly from my brain.
Plenty of stuff we (collectivecly) have been wrong on too
draft pick criticisms for guys that turned out to be pretty good, players they cut that we thought they were nuts to cut and were out of the NFL shorty thereafter, win-loss season predictions resulting in pants having to be pooped in, etc.
be honest...how many of you actually thought CJ was the best pick for the titans?
I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.

I was not happy at all with that pick.
At the time you had White who had rushed for over 1,000 and just used a high pick on Chris Henry the year before.
…and that is why I am not the GM.

I was furious about the pick.
I wanted to take a receiver.

I hated the pick.
Thought it was a waste of first rounder since we really didn’t have a need in that position plus he reminded me a bit of Chris Henry.
My younger brother actually called that the Titans would take CJ in a mock draft he did. It was clearly a guess but I was nonetheless impressed.

Don you know I loved it from the beginning!!!1
Or hated it. I can’t remember which it was.

"What if I was Peyton Manning?"- CJ to the ref after they picked up a personal foul flag for a late hit on him.
damn im sad to see VY go
he was actually one of my favorite players on the team
i dont really like any of the qbs in this draft aside from Luck, who we wont get so id rather go for a temporary solution at qb like mcnabb and then address qb next year
My synopsis:
Obviously,something is VERY VERY wrong with Vunce if a couple guys saying stuff would make Bud bail.
That’s all.
BTW
Vunce’s record against teams that are .500 or better?
13-14.
Yep.
For all the VY fanboys:
He beat 17 bad teams. Not hard to do playing the Texans and Jags 4 times a year.
I wish I was in a position where I could smack his head and knock some sense into it.
He is wasting some special talent there. Damn you VY. I love the QB you should have a become!
by Los Blancos Chicca on Jan 6, 2011 9:48 AM CST reply actions
Fact is VY gave us the best chance to win our record with him is far better than without KC has been washed up since oakland had one fluck year what we need to worry about is that the players who support VY R the best players who cares what anyone on D thinks they need to do their own jobs (get off the field on 3rd down) CJ will hold out for sure now Britt has been in the doghouse as much as VY But Fishers favorite guys R, Donnie Nickey, KC, C. Hope & J.Gage….what a group…..i hope VY gets a shot with an offensive mind who wont handcuff him as fisher and dinger have done if u trust Dusty Smith more than VY i think JF should have his head examined. but this is what we have to look forward too…..geez i guess i better get a brown bag
Are you guys kidding me?
Cam is nothing like Vince,no side arm, much bigger/solid, kind of reminds me of Josh Freeman(fast/mobile, yet very hard to bring down once you got a hold of him) and he’s developing quite well in TB. Sometimes it makes me wonder, have you guys even seen him play or are yall making assumptions that he’s a run first, pass second QB like VY. I’d liek to have Cam but we should def hold our criticisms of him and other QBs until at least the senior bowl or combine.
