Fisher: Young must earn back job
Coach Jeff Fisher said when Vince Young is healthy he's going to have to show he's made progress on all fronts before resuming his duties as the starter. And that could be a while. Young generated a lot of negative attention Sunday when he initially refused to go back into the game against Jacksonville. He suffered the knee injury a few plays later. The next day Fisher called the police to search for Young because the coach was worried about his quarterback, who was missing for several hours. Fisher made no promises as to when Young will be back. The Titans diagnosed Young with a sprained medial collateral ligament, an injury that's sidelined some players 2-4 weeks, others longer.

What is going on in Titan-land? Your star QB is now being rammed under the bus? I really haven't been pauying much attention to this but wow, how things change so quickly. One day, Vince seems to be the face of the future and now he's being shunned.
This should be fun to watch this one play out.

The Wonderlic Personnel Test is a twelve-minute, fifty-question intelligence test that Vince young took right before the draft.
He got such a low score on the test that it made headlines news. (6 out of 50).
Critics said the test is unfair maybe even Racist.
NFL teams that ignore the results do so at their own Peril.
Javon Walker scored a seven and he does not seem mentally stable either.
the article is found here.

Fisher is pissed that Young hung him out to dry with his tempor tantrum Monday night. I don't blame Fisher for playing the hard line here. It's time for some tough love for once in Youngs life. Maybe it will spark a fire in him, but I doubt it.
Where are all the people who claimed how much better Young would be over Vick now?

He needs to see a Dr to make sure he's not suffering from some sort of depression that could be helped with therapy and medication.

Kerry Collins is a fairly good QB. And if Simms gets his chance, he too could show Titan fans that their QB play doesn't always have to be spazmatic. And then it really will be over for Vince in Tennessee. BoBo the Clown predicts VY will end up in Detroit, TB, Arizona, or some other loser team next year.

Fisher has lost faith in VY. Players don't lose their starting job to injury unless the coach wants them to.

He needs to earn his spot back. I know a player shouldn't lose it to an injury but this was already in the makings. He may even be run out of town if he doesn't get his ACT together. Saying all that, Kerry is not the answer so the Titans should be very careful with the handlings of this situations.

I was saying the same thing yesterday. I sent the site some feedback on their new appearance and mentioned it to them. You can't cut and paste as easy either. This is really stressing me out. I'll do some balloon figures for you and hopefully get it off my/your mind....

His mom says that you people should stop picking on her little baby boy. Vince's mom says its mean to boo her little baby boy and that he may just quit if you people don't stop..... Vince's mom wants to know what we would do if we were in her little baby boys shoes....Well Mrs. Young, first I'd tell my mom to **** and speak for myself. Next Mrs. Young, I'd make sure he gets that other tatoo for his other grandmother before he's managing a Wendy's and can't afford it. Last Mrs. Young, I'd grow up and realize that I'm a grown man playing a sport that I'm paid an awful lot at, and that when I don't play good, that people have the right to boo me. But that's just me Mrs. Young. And of course, I'm not you little baby boy........Back to pulling bunnies from hats......

Man this is nuts. VY is a spoiled brat. Now he has the time to think about what he has going. Maybe he will realize that getting paid millions of dollars is not bad. He should have learned from the Ricky Williams tragedy. Maybe this is a Longhorns thing. It all adds up now. Benson, Williams, Simms, VY, etc. Are they all trying to be in the same group?
Anywasy, we've seen this before w/ coach Fisher. Didn't he do the same things to McNair and George and even their wide receivers and I forgot even their best defender in I forgot his name but he was "The Freak".

What we are finding to be proven more and more true every day is that these conventional QBs get better in time in the pros yet almost none of the unconventional running style QBs seem to be able to make it in the NFL. As I said in the topic on the old Fan Nation page, in college it is totally different due to the option play. If pros ran the option then these QBs would be better. The only problem with that is that the NFL is such a step up in quality of defenders that the option has a lot higher chance of failure. This failure most realistically resulting in fumbles. If people watched VY you will see that he put about as many rushing yards on the board as he did passing and this was due to the option in my opinion.

It's simple--VY would rather be dancing with shirtless, sweaty men and a bottle of booze than being sacked by the Jags.

ESPN showed a stat of who had the lowest passer rating in the past few years, and it was Vince (60 something percent). Less than Harrington. Vince is nothing but a great college quarterback, who is nothing in the pros. Hope they stick with Collins.
