A.) Get Vince outside the pocket
B.) Allow Vince to use his legs to move the chains

I'm tired of hearing the "running QBs get injured" excuse, because I think it's a load of crap. Most QBs that get injured, are ones who sit in the pocket and get smacked around. For every "running" QB that gets injured I can name you 5 prototypical QBs that get hurt.......................give him some freedom fisher.


As far as his attitude is concerned, he needs to work on it. If you make a mistake, you have to live with it and move on. He means too much to the titans to sit and piss and moan on the bench.

VY's biggest problem is his head. All he needs to do is be a quar-ter-back and he doesn't have to be very good at it. If he just does what the coaches tell him and not try to do things he is not good at (like throwing the ball) his defense will win him games.

VY, back away from the crotches, stop fantasizing about shirtless guys and sausages, and just play football....or quit....again.

You're looking at the possibility of Young "burning bright" for less time if he gets injured or Young never reaching his potential and being very average for a longer time in an attempt to lengthen his years on the field. What good is that if he's playing at a low level?

Drafting him because of his success as an instinctive player who has a "ok to fairly good" arm that he gets a lot out of because he's got great wheels and then trying to make him something he's not defeats the purpose and makes the Titans look stupid. If they wanted a guy to sit in the pocket and throw passes they should have drafted Leinart and deep down inside I think that Fisher knows that.

But a weaker Titans team is a plus for us so I'm not complaining. I just think they're wasting what he could be trying to turn him into something he'll never be and that this is not helped by his overall immaturity. He's going through a frustrating time and is ill-equipped to deal with it.

Thanks Herv for injecting some knowledge, perspective, and logic into this illogical thread. Props to you and may you have a great day.

I love your sig, too. Remember that RS came from the 'Glanville Coaching Tree'...not exactly the Bill Walsh tree or the Parcells tree, huh. That is about the first time I have ever heard the 'Glanville Coaching Tree'. We should have gone after Buddy's son from Oakland imho. Maybe Cowher could bring in a more capable replacement or even lure LeBeau from Steelerland.

"I am hoping it is not a 16-week thing, but at the end of the day we want to have the No. 1 defense in the league, so if we have to play 90 snaps to get that, that's what we're going to have to do,'' linebacker Keith Bulluck said. "No one is going to quit on this side of the ball."

Hmmm...seems the Titans Defense is calling out a certain player....

Bulluck implies that Young quit on his team


Vince Young puts the "IT" in "QUIT"

This is similar to the situation the Jags had when they were still running Leftwich out there as their starter. Garrard gave them a better chance to win, but Leftwich was the first round pick making more money so he had to be the starter. Once the Jags realized that Gary Coleman didn't deserve to be the starter they became a much better team. If the Titans ever realize that regarding VY then I have no doubt that they'll be an even better team for it.

No Young quit on Sunday. Did not even come back to the huddle and had to get pushed out on the field by the coaches. It I were a WR I am not sure I would want to try that hard for Young either.

I'm still failing to see how a guy who for his career has thrown more INTs than TDs is a better solution at QB than Vince. Oh how soon we forget how miserable the Titans were when Collins was their starter..................Kerry Collins is a good backup, but is not someone you want to run out there week after week.......

No Vince quit on his team yesterday, there is no denying that. I watched the game yesterday and his head wasn't in the game.

Vince Young tried to take himself out of Sunday's game before the play on which he tore his MCL, according to Nashville Tennessean columnist David Climer.
Four plays before his injury, Young failed to enter the huddle. He blamed it on hamstring tightness, but sought no treatment. "I came on the field and 10 wasn’t in," said C Kevin Mawae. "I didn’t know what the situation was." Climer says that coach Jeff Fisher "seemed to all but throw Young back onto the field." Fisher danced around the situation in his post-game presser.

That (quitting) is not an easy thing to shake in this league. Players and coaches are like elephants when it comes to a player quitting and this is not the first time for VY.

Not even David Carr quit after getting his head bashed in for years and his numbers were better.

You realize that Young has more interceptions than Touchdowns right? In fact, Collins' TD-Int ratio is better than Young's.

says "sources"............teammates, coaches, etc. say he didn't..........he needs to stop pouting, but I'm not ready to believe that he "quit"

I think his point was closer to meaning that Collins has proven over a career that he is not a consistently good starting QB.

Young has only proved it over two years.

Young still has the potential to get a lot better. Collins does not.
