Vince Young says he's retired

Apparently, getting cut after two weeks in May with the Browns was a sign.

Former No. 3 overall pick Vince Young told Brent Carney of KXAN that he was retiring, and ready to take a job with the University of Texas.

“It’s definitely official I think in my book,” Young said. “Unless we get a great opportunity, something guaranteed, . . . other than that I’ve started moving forward in some things.

“I love the NFL, will love the game always but I’m kind of moving forward and moving on right now.”

 

 

He said he thought his early spat with Titans coach Jeff Fisher hurt his reputation in later years.

“I had my ups and downs,” he said. “I made the mistake of getting in to it with my coach and that kind of hurt me a whole lot. When you go to different teams, they already have a bad perception of you. When that’s out there, there’s nothing you can do.”

Well, playing well might have been an option, since other players with baggage have gotten multiple chances.

 

 

No indication he's actually filed any official retirement paperwork.  Just says he's "retired".

 

So...does he get into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot or will he have to wait a few years? :unsure:

Vince Young's life will sadly be spent signing Texas autographs for money. 

 

What a waste.

Dude definitely has major issues in his head.

 

Common gag in the comments was about whether he'd take out a loan to throw a retirement party.

..... I'll miss him epically gacking against the Chargers numerous times.

 

Blowing the 14 point lead at home and losing in OT in 07 and then no showing in the WC rematch.

 

Christmas 2009, everyone is on TEN's jock after they were coming back from being 1-6 and Young is a comedy of errors in the 2nd and 3rd - SD wins 42-17.
