Titans to either trade or release Vince Young

I don't beleive that. That's just one mans opinion. There's never been a question regarding Vince Youngs maturity until he was placed in a situation where the coach did not want him. I'll guarantee you that Vince Young will have no problems next season. And he didn't go above and beyond trying to develop him after benching him after 2 seasons. Now Alex Smith, that's one person where the coaches went above and beyond (7 years) trying to develop him into an NFL QB.

Well Fisher wanted Leinart (and he'll probably get him now) over Young. But it's not like he mistreated Young while he was there. And VY has to take some personal accountability here. He's got too much talent to waste it. But who's going to want to trade for a guy who can't keep his head on straight and owe him close to $13 million. He needs a stable situation, and I don't think he'll find that here. Not now, at least

To me Fisher has always been the type of coach who sets the perfect tone. He is players coach from the standpoint that he supports you professionally and personally but he expects you to do your job professionally and be accountable to the team. VY never really was. It can't be a coincidence that the only major problems Fisher has ever had publicly had with a player of his was a player he was forced to employ against his wishes. That type of environment is very unhealthy. It gives too much power to the player and is tough to handle from the coach's perspective emotionally. (Sounds familiar doesn't it)

And that's a very good point. And with that, did VY ever really have a chance? If the boss doesn't like you, there's gonna be problems.

No way he could thrive with a task master like Shanahan.

He needs a coach who will coddle him to a degree, that's not going to happen with Mike.

Too bad WIDE Philips got the axe....

First off I am not a big VY fan at all.

But that being said... I would be ok grabbing VY in a trade for AH.

We're not gonna get more for AH so why not take a gamble? Now there's no way I wanna pay VY $13M or whatever he's due but maybe some kind of incentive contract could work.

As for dealing with the Shannys... I think it could be ok. VY has very little public goodwill so fans will support the Shannys when they screw up the PR game again.

Let's hope this never happens. I have heard that Fisher and Shanahan have a friendship and there's no way he ends up in DC.

Vince Young is junk. Knowing that the Titans are willing to just release him means he will be released. He will get picked up as a backup. What a bust!!!

[chewman]

Who would you rather have VY or Sexy Rexy?? I'm going with VY if we can trade him for AH.

[DynamiteRave]

I'd rather have Rex.

At least Rex won't a) try to kill himself or b) get pissy with the fans.

Vince Young is such a head case. He's like AH without the ego. Instead of blaming his problems on everyone else like AH, VY beats himself up and blames his problems on himself.. Then takes it out on the crowd. Sorry Vince. The crowd paid to see you choke, they can boo if they want.

If he's going to be a pro football player, he better have a psychiatrist on speed dial waiting to talk to him Monday morning. I think the guy still has demons and I don't think he's worth the risk.

Solid stats IMO. Yards per game is a little low but he's young and still teachable to a new offense. I don't see why everyone is so opposed to the guy? Not like we have anyone better right now!
