Vince Young 'hurting inside'

We'll never know until he gets better receivers than Justin Gage and McCareins.

maybe he needs Michael Lewis and Hank Baskett? this is one of the most ridiculous statements ever made around here. Young can be a fine nfl qback. even maybe as good as Michael Vick. but no way he ever becomes the top 5 QB that Mcnabb is. just not his style

I agree that Tenn is at fault for not getting better receiving options for VY, but did you see his interceptions on Sunday? I don't care if he has TO, Moss, and Reggie Wayne, those throws were AWFUL. I could have picked those passes off. He throws the kind of INTs that really show he doesn't have much of an ability to see the field and read NFL secondaries.

True. But Kerry Collins will is bring some stability to the position and he makes Tenn. offense better.

I don't think Vince Young is insane at all. I just think he needs a hug or a Teddy Bear. TO cried for Tony Romo last year, maybe one of his receivers should cry for him too. I'm going to have my Mom call my office tomorrow to let them know I'm hurting inside and out. Maybe I can score a couple of days off or a softer chair to sit in, cuz damn it I'm tired of being ridiculed too!

Matt Leinart just needs to invite him over for a pool party with some sorority girls from USC. It's not like either of them are going to play any time soon.

I don't see VY becoming the passser that McNabb is either.

But then again, coming out of college a lot of people had serious doubts about McNabb ever developing into a quality passing QB and he's definitely beaten those odds.

Just an FYI, McNabb in his second season (and mind you he only started in 6 games in his first season) he threw for 3365 yards, and had 27 total tds to 13 ints. That something that Young's wildest wet dreams are made of.

Vince Young is no McNabb, never will be. He's a Michael Vick type player.

That's exactly right. HE's a Vick type player and that kind of QB technique doesnt work in the NFL. He's got tons of talent but its not the kind of talent that works well for an NFL QB. Looking at young NFL QBs, if its a college game I want a VY type QB but in a pro game a want a Matt Ryan type QB. Ryan's skill set is more suited to the NFL game.

"No, oh OK, we'll meet in your hole again. See you at 11."

I don't believe in coddling athletes or feeling particularly sorry for them, but I think Vince deserves a break on this one. He was getting booed, then he went down with what he initially thought was a season ending knee injury...

He has a lot of pressure on him and he's a very young man. Getting booed in the same game where you think you've torn up your knee is pretty rough. I understand why he was upset. He wanted to get away and hang with a friend and didn't want the distraction of his cell phone. Understandable. Give the kid a break.

Thank you, I don't see how he is insane. Some people just can't take the pressure and expectations. It isn't all about the money.

VY's character has nothing to do with this. I think VY and the Titans are realizing that what made him so good in college doesnt work in the pros. In order to be successful VY is going to have to completely revise the way he plays QB and that isnt going to be easy.

I think what the Titans and other teams need to do is draft QBs who's skill set closely matches what is needed in the pros. The Titans screwed up drafting VY as their franchise QB.

How come people say VY does not have the talent to play in the NFL but then hop to another thread supporting JC and think he will be OK.

Because the only possible comparison between them given their college histories and early career statistics is obvious, but not relevant.

Campbell can throw the ball at the pro level. Young has yet to show that. Both need to improve, but one still needs to prove he belongs first.

I'm sorry, but he's spoiled. Look at people like Todd Collins, Arron Rodgers etc. that hang around and hold a clip-board hoping for just a chance. They don't want to play bad, but it could happen. Thier heart is in the game, and they honestly play because it makes them happy. Vince is unhappy because he's playing poorly, and the fans aren't with him. Then again, what fans cheer for a QB that's having problems? Look at what we are doing to JC, and I'm sure he's not on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Go by a new car, suck it the Fu(K up, or rub some dirt on it, walk it off.....do something and get your butt back to playing ball. Here's a hint.....people will like you more if you try to throw the ball to your players....just a hint.
