Vince Young a possibility/opportunity for us perhaps???

[DaCityKats]

Agreed. The question is will whether his ego will allow him to accept that.

Right now, he's on his way to being the next Ryan Leaf.

he is far from ryan leaf bad.maybe attitude wise tho.

[Catalyst]

I mean, I wouldn't be dead set against it, but I just don't think the guy's any good. He's a diva without the production to back up his attitude.

[RSXNova]

Sign Young and the NAACP is own our side!!!

[TheRealDeal]

Honestly he's very likely to land some place as the #1... there are too many teams that feel they are just a quarterback away from competing for him to end up a backup behind a good QB. He doesn't have anywhere near the character concerns Vick did so someone will gamble on him.

I just don't see it being us at all. I also agree that he would likely be best served going into an established system and learning things the right way.

Once news broke that he would be cut, Shefter and Mort talked to every GM in need of a QB and every single one of them said they were not interested in VY as their starter.

Things could change but they don't look promising for him right now.

I heard that but I'm not sold that it will be the case once all is said and done. I don't think anyone will want to pay him "elite QB" money and I think he'll have to compete for his job (which he may not want) but I just suspect someone will take a chance on him.

I agree with that.

Since the lockout is all but guaranteed, we have to assume that a larger portion than normal of the free agent QBs available will not be in NFL shape by the time that free agency can begin. If any QB wants to make a roster(VY included), he can greatly increase his chances by promoting an exceptional regimen of self-motivated training to the media. Some QB will get injured or retire, and opportunities will be available.

VY will get a third chance somewhere. It's just there's no chance for that here, given the circumstances.

Complete bullshit! Go do your research. Vince Young never admitted such thing just that he was upset and went over to a friend's house and hung out which is where they found him. People who want to kill themselves don't go over to friend's houses to chill. He stated he was embarrassed because people were saying such thing about him, but that he never wanted to do that and loved his life. He was depressed and upset because all his life he was used to being loved by his fans and the pressure got to him, but not to the point where he wanted to commit suicide. He was also cleared by a psychiatrist.

Here's the real story and facts of what happened between Young and Fisher.

1. In 2009 the Titans started the season 0-6 with Kerry Collins.

2. Fisher benched Collins and started Young.

3. VY went on to with the last 9 out of 11 games of the season and brought the Titans to 8-8 for the year.

4. Meanwhile it was well documented that there was friction between Fisher and Young and most fans believe Fisher hated Young's guts.

5. 2010 season, VY is named starting QB and rightfully so once again.

6. They win the first game of the 2010 season and the Titans are 1-0.

7. In the second game Young has a bad game throws 2 picks and a fumble and Fisher benched him for a scrub!

8. Vince Young was fuming and threw his pads in the crowd, as he should have, after winning 10 out of the last 12 games because he got benched for having ONE bad game! NO ONE believed Fisher made the right move at the point, including VY.

9. After that thing just continued to get worse between VY and Fisher.

THAT'S what really happened!

PS: The so called "suicide" issue was years ago also because of a similar situation where the fans. He took his benching quite a bit better this time around and simply wants to get the f**k out of there. Now that doesn't sound like someone that gets worse, but rather someone that learned from it. I still don't blame him for throwing his pads in the crowd. When Moore got benched earlier this year, he didn't have near the record VY did with the Panthers and he STILL ran right off the field pissed off and into the locker room.

Anyway I'm tired of arguing THIS retarded topic while not actually talking about meaningful things such as his actual QB play. It's late and I'm going to bed. Whatever happens I have no problem taking a bet with anyone that wherever Young goes he's going to continue to prove he is a winning QB and put up good numbers.

So in 2009 Young won 9 of the last 11 games yet the Titans finished with a record of 8-8? Pretty sure you messed something up there.

It's obvious that Fisher made stupid decisions for benching Young. If I'm the owner of a team and my coach kept benching the guy I payed millions to play, I would fire that coach on the spot. So that begs the question, why did the owner decide to give their "franchise" qb the boot versus their old coach who's been coaching there since before the Panthers were a team, and yet failed to win a superbowl in that time frame?

Let's put this in perspective. Say Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy was at each other's throats. One of them have to go and you're the owner. Who would you keep and who would you get rid of? Pantherfanforlife, are you willing to tell me you would keep McCarthy over Rodgers? (Not to put you on the spot or anything, but if the Titans are willing to give up their franchise qb over a worn out coach, something must be majorly wrong with Young's character.)

As I said before, the best situation for Young, is to sign with the Texans. I want to see him succeed and be a special player, and going to his hometown team is the absolute best place for him to be. Schaub is on his way to the bench and if Young can humble himself enough to be a backup, he will definitely get his chance to lead a vibrant texan offense.

[ammofan]

I would give the guy a shot. I think alot of his problems had to do with Fisher who didnt even want him in the first place. And VY can actually play.

[KJDaniel31]

Um, didn't they say pretty much the same about Michael Vick?

I don't see what we'd have to lose if we could pick up VY and see what happens. Maybe he busts, but he has huge upside compared to what we have now.

Except that he has no upside....he just finished his 5th year, so the odds are 99% of the time that he is what he is. His only upside now is as an incredible backup, where his lack of intelligence, accuracy and leadership dont hurt him, and his athleticism and running ability are a major asset.

I have no interest in a guy who's "upside" is 8-8 with a first round exit.

[diehard panther#1]

If their is going to be a FA this year depending upon the CBA,I would pick-up Vince Young.Him a Smitty could have some good chemistry.We need a mobile QB even if we doun't get VY.Watching Clausen this season he:) looks like he's dragging an ancor around the field.

[PantherFanForLife]

Alright make it 8 out of 10 then. Miscalculation. Still great numbers and a great consistent run to bring the team back from 0-6. The point still remains he has proven himself to be a reliable, consistent winner.

And despite his drama, with little time he played in 2010, his QB rating actually improved.

I don't care what you say, but you have to give a guy some credit that can go in to work while hating his "boss" and his boss hating him, having personal issues and STILL be able to perform like that. That's not exactly a sign of mental instability.

That shows me he's a guy that can overcome obstacles and still do the job.

Look you can come up with hypothetical reasons why you think it went down the way you did, and scenarios in order to sway an opinion of what took place one way or the other. I don't care about all that. All I care about is the fact the guy can play the position and play it well and I don't believe the same scenarios would repeat here or wherever he goes.

Whatever took place, whoever was at fault, I don't know. But what I do knows is that it has been documented for long enough that this friction took place between these two. And I don't think anyone outside of a few people here are putting it all on VY. There has been criticism of both Fisher and VY over this issue. And more likely then not wherever he goes I have very little doubt it would resurface.

And in the end I believe there are PEOPLE who are using the issue to overlook the more important aspect of Vince Young as a player, rather than the issue itself being so big that it warrants such ignorance of his abilities as a QB.

1. I've never heard a single NFL person say anything other that this was VY's fault, and he is a headcase. I wasn't even aware this was disputed.

2. What abilities does he have? Have those abilities ever led to success? Has anyone with similar abilities had any success?
