Default OT: Vince Young talking about quitting again

The Nashville Tennessean reports Vince Young on Monday "indicated to those around him he didn't want to play football any more." The Titans may be planning to move on without him.

This isn't the first time we've heard this from Young. And "there are indications" the team is ready to move forward with Kerry Collins, even when Young gets healthy. And that assumes Young even wants his job back. Young's mother, rightly concerned, pleaded for people to give her son "space" and "love." But it won't be so simple. A psychologist reported Young was "extremely depressed" and one wonders when he'll see the field again.

People should not make fun of Young. There are ALOT of people who hate their job, and it looks like Football is not for Vince.

I wish him the best.... no job is worth being that depressed.

On the Big Show today on WEEI, there were references to this situation which indicated some found it humorous. Regardless of one's team affiliation, it is anything but funny. Sad is more like it.

Depression and not football is more likely the cause of this. They describe him as extremely depressed. His family sent police to find him. This is more serious than not liking football.

Just think, if we all had the money & security that he has, and we hated our Job, I don't think any of us would be showing up for work.

Damn that's really sad. The kid has talent he just needs better coaching and a system built for his style of play which the Titans do not have. I mean really who the hell are his wide recievers? What ever happened to David Givens while were at it?

Amen to both. When you're in a bad mental state and have a demanding job/lifestyle you hate, it can be a chicken and egg situation. I once had a very tiny version of the same and decided to give up the money/prestige of the work, and I've been soooo much happier since. Here's hoping that's all it takes for Vince, too.

Who is making fun of him? Whoever is doing that, shame on them.
I'm serious. This kid needs some help or at least someone to talk to. Maybe some time away from the game would do him some good. Depression is no joke. My uncle went through it, and he just wasted away. It was very sad. We did all that we could to get him help, but he kept rejecting it. I hope Vince's family is firm with him. I've always felt that my family wasn't firm enough with my Uncle.
