OT: Could Be Worse-We Could Have Vince Young
This keeps getting weirder or weirder.
So apparently, after throwing two inexplicable interceptions, Vince Young went over to the bench to sulk and pushed Albert Haynesworth away from him. Then, he refused to take the field on the next series, citing a tight hamstring even though he didn't have the medical staff look at it. Young went missing for over four hours last night after being "emotional" all day. Jeff Fisher raced around Nashville to track him down and had the police notified as well. What's really weird is that the police called in special negotiators to the Titans facility. That sounds to me like he was threatening suicide or threatening Fisher's life. http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/ne...iewStory=62668 For all the knocks on Cassel, at least he doesn't get "emotional" like this lol. |

It says the special negotiators were placed on stand-by, not that they were at the facility.
Young can't take the pressure of a professional career, I saw a special on him and he said he almost retired after his first year. I think the special was on NFL network. |

Yup, build from the trenches, draft the DE in the first and develop the day 2 QB or trade for someone elses... |

WOW. What a shocking and strange turn of events. And an absolute waste of a valuable draft pick.

The guy is a terrible QB and can't handle the pressure. He threw in INT to Derrick Harvey, then goes back to the bench and pouts.

Re: OT: Could Be Worse-We Could Have Vince Young
I just think it's a good case study of why snap judgments on the NFL draft shouldn't be taken seriously. Everyone was dogging the Texans because they passed up Reggie Bush and the hoetown hero Vince Young. Now look what's happened: Bush is sessentially a third-down/change-of-pace back and Vince Young can't handle the spotlight. Combien numbers and how one plays in college certainly matter, but a good personnel staff really needs to do due dilligence with how a player translates to the NFL/a specific system as well as mental/emotional aptitude for the stresses of the game.
