More Vince Drama

Posted by on June 2nd, 2009 under Football

Sigh.

First this, then this.

I’m still pulling or Vince to figure it out and have success. I think the guy can play. The surprising thing to me is that a guy who seemed so mentally tough in college is actually so much more fragile than it would have seemed. Definitely a function of scheme and talent differential. Doperbo has assured me that once he returns from hunting Dharma Bums, he’ll opine.

    I dont think it is him being fragile. Look, he turned around a moribound franchise as a rookie with no recievers. They continued to draft running backs and blamed him for the lack of a passing attack. Now Kerry collins is simply benefiting from a better team than what Vince had as a rookie.

  2. ESPN showed the stats of Collins vs VY since VY was drafted in 2006 and their passing stats and W/L were basically the same. They left out the rushing stats conveniently. I don’t understand why the Titans don’t just give him the job back unless there is something else we don’t know about.

    They need to give him the keys again to the offense and let him go to work. He still needs more talent at receiver though, but the running game is already there. The dumb interceptions are going to happen, but he will still create more good things than bad things.

    Anyone can crack. Vince can definately play!

  5. In April Vince said he was going to “Shut up and work”

    He really should have listened to himself.

  6. I hope he ends with another team. A team that runs a spread offense that fits his obscene talents.

  7. Dharma Burns…interesting story. In regards to Vince…interesting story.

  8. Maybe he’s following the Quincy Carter career plan. I sure hope not, but maybe he likes to party and we aren’t hearing about it.

  9. Your morning adrenaline fix.

    You’re welcome.

  10. Hey Jeff! Take a page from the Mack Brown play book.

    Let Vince be Vince….Living in the Limelight

    Titans have the best athlete in the NFL with Vince Young….let him lead you to the Super Bowl.

    **VINCE + RUNNING GAME + DEFENSE = Championship

    re: 2005

  11. Fisher on Young

    I guess Vince isn’t as in the doghouse as dumb shits on the internet want to make out.

    Sorry, but when you give a guy chicken shit to work with you can’t really bitch much when he makes you chicken shit salad.

    Vince goes from Drew Bennett, Bobby Wade, and a legit RB in Travis Henry to Justin Gage, Roydell Williams (who?), and LenWhale White in 2007. Oh yeah, he also had to work under Norm “Dog” Chow who couldn’t find another job in the NFL despite interviewing for about half the NFL.

    That freak out session at the start of last season was all on him, but past that he’s been dealt a shit hand by the Titans. He kept his mouth shut all last season instead of causing a stir, and now he finally decides to man up and tell folks he isn’t going to take any shit and he gets blasted for that to.

    Any other QB would have blown his stack long ago. Ol’ baby Jay Cutler would have been whining and crying for a trade AGES ago if he had been forced to work with the shit Vince was given.

    Seriously, good for Vince. Push old man Collins out of the starters position, play your ass off, and then go get a big contract somewhere other than the shit hole that is Tennessee.

  12. I’m in Will’s corner here.

  13. Ditto that, wulf. Will has said it all.

  14. I’d agree that the response to Cutler’s meltdown was VERY different.

    I remember the 2008 draft, when they chose yet another running back with their first pick. I was in the gym, on the cross trainer, and I threw my magazine against the wall and yelled out “Fuck!” about as loud as I could. It drew a few stares, and a stern scolding from the wife, but it was worth it. Chris Johnson is good, and will maybe get better, but not the WR I was hoping the Titans would get.

    They definitely have not drafted to help out Vince, which is not surprising considering Fisher never wanted Vince in the first place.

    Hook ‘em!

    Will nailed it for me. Norm Dogchow indeed.

  17. just because the media handled the cutler sitaution differently doesnt mean vince hasnt acted like a baby

  18. It’s good to know that if his career in the NFL pans out, his place in the announcing booth is all but assured.

    The Cutler takes are very valid. That guy dragged his labia all over Sportscenter.

    And boy am I tired.

  21. I’m in VY’s corner. I hope he wins the starting job because it will NOT be handed to him.

  22. Even more Titans’ QB drama.

    Could you write a bit about the NCAA’s origins and how they evolved into a hugefuckingmongous commercial operation.

    Do they have a P&L anyone can review?

    The chance to “play” some real teams you might not see otherwise would be very cool. Bit TV and ticket sales…

    I guess the issues are injuries, wanting to work out lots of guys (inter-squad would be cutting their reps in half), and losing to face by getting skunked by somebody.
