TENNESSEE TITANS

7-0

IT'S THE END OF
VINCE YOUNG


VINCE YOUNG IS A GONER

IF Vince Young wasn't

Depressed before he

must be now or

maybe better if

he's lost his

MIND

His is surely the WORST  story for any player this NFL season as the team he "plays" for soars  to heights it has NEVER experienced before while Young appears  PERMANENTLY benched. His only solace a BIG one is the $58 million  dollar contract he signed with the Titans $28 million of it guaranteed  no matter what.

Might as well call this

the Tragedy it is played

out on the Gridiron

How far Vince Young has  fallen so quickly only very partially his fault is remarkable. Vince Young having led the University of Texas to the NCAA Championship in  the 2006 Rose Bowl with a stunning performance against USC and Reggie Bush. Easily named MVP and after bring edged out by Bush for the 2005 Heisman Trophy. Young's performance in the NCAA Championship game is  called by many one of the most electrifying and dominating performances  in college football history.

Then on April 29, 2006,  Vince Young was the first Quarterback chosen in the NFL Draft and the  3rd player chosen, just after Mario Williams and Reggie Bush, and  beating out Matt Leinart and many other highly touted Quarterbacks in  that year's NFL draft.

Only 2 drafts ago.

Then continued his  storied career in his 2006 Rookie year in the NFL Vince Young led the  LOWLY Titans out of the Basement and almost into the Play-offs taking  Tennessee to 6 straight victories many of them come from behind  stunners. His record as the Titans starter in 13 games was 8-5. It is  likely if he had started the first 3 games the Titans would have made  the Post-season. Even so Young was named the 2006 NFL Offensive Rookie  of the Year and set the all time rushing record for a first year  Quarterback.

That might prove the  Pinnacle

of Vince Young's meteoric

football career a  continuous

success since high school

Last season was the  first time in Young's career he was not on top of the world. He had his  ups and downs QBing the Titans, began the season with a brief  suspension for an infraction, but worse was injured early in the  season, then played intermittently, showed some flashes of his "old  self" but was far more lackluster than he had ever been and had to  watch back up veteran QB Kerry Collins leading the team. Even though  the Titans made it to the first round of the Play-offs it was not a  happy season for Young.

Unfortunately for Vince  Young things

were about to get much  much worse

in this his 2008 season  in HELL

even as the team he  "plays for"

has the BEST record in  the NFL

It's hard to argue with  the Facts. Even if you can no one will care. Since Vince Young was  un-ceremoniously PULLED from the first game this season replaced by  Kerry Collins the Titans have come on Strong. With Monday night's  victory over Indianapolis, Tennessee has done something the SuperBowl Champion New Jersey Giants and all the other supposedly best teams in  the NFL have not remained UNDEFEATED.

Yes there is this  season. SCREAM. After Young "apparently" injured his knee during the  first game of the season against Jacksonville the Titans replaced him  in a flash with Kerry Collins.  The buzz had been if ever so quiet that  Tennessee began to become disillusioned with Vince last season and saw  in Collins a better "fit" for the team.

It only got WORSE for  Young when the Titans spread the word they were "concerned" Vince Young  might be contemplating suicide. Without any reason to believe so. But  it sure made NEWS further undermining Young's status with the team. BUT  THE WORST WAS YET TO COME. After coming in and rescuing the first game  of the season Kerry Collins has followed with 6 more consecutive  victories. The Titans now 7-0.

Tennessee is now HIGH  atop the AFC South. In second place if you want to call it that are  Indianapolis and Jacksonville and Houston all at 3-4. In effect they  are all in LAST place in this 4 team division. It is almost if not  quite absolutely certain the Titans will win their Division with  Collins at Quarterback and Young on the Bench.

And the fans could not  be happier. The last thing they want to see is Young back at QB. And  they have nothing to worry about unless Kerry Collins suffers a  catastrophic injury or Tennessee gets so far ahead in games they don't  want to take that chance. What is really on coach Jeff Fisher and the  Titans mind is can Collins take them to 16-0 ??

As for Vince Young who

only a year ago seemed

to be the Great Black

Hope at Quarterback

now at only 25 seems

WASHED up his best

hope to be released by

Tennessee and find a

new home next season

with some DESPERATE

NFL team that wants

to take a Chance

we'll see if so

good luck

Vince
