On the day former Titans assistant Craig Johnson was hired as new quarterbacks coach of the Minnesota Vikings, a big question followed him:

Will Vince Young eventually join him?

Johnson, who left the Titans after 11 seasons, is ready for it. The Titans plan to release Young if he's not traded, and even before Johnson joined the Vikings, many had Minnesota pegged as a possible landing spot for the quarterback.

I could see Minnesota being a good fit for him.

He'd have some nice weapons to work with. He wouldn't bump heads with Frazier and their fanbase has a history of being supportive of black qbs. Minnesota would be a good fit.

Seriously KT? You always have to go there don't you? Ridiculous.

I wasn't referring to him being black, I was referring to their type of offense and the weapons that they have, and how it would benefit a mobile QB...

as long as they like athletic QB's with mental problems........then they'll get along just fine.

PS......race will have nothing to do with him failing.

I'd love for Vince to be the starting QB for the Vikes!

Oh, I'm being most sincere!

Panthers have a history with black QBs, hmm.... I wonder.

Oh, I'm being most sincere!

Perhaps I should have said "ulterior motive"

[Mr. Scot]

Turns out it might not be a possibility after all.

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Vikings have zero interest in Vince Young

No interest in Young

As it stands right now, the Vikings have zero interest in Vince Young, the Titans quarterback who is going to get his release or be traded.

Young, the former Texas quarterback who led the Longhorns to a 41-38 victory over USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl, carries too much baggage, which is why when it came to keeping Young or Titans coach Jeff Fisher, club owner Bud Adams issued a release earlier this month stating Young wouldn't be on the Titans roster in 2011. Young did have a 31-17 record as a Tennessee starter.

Gotta wonder if the Jeff Fisher/Leslie Frazier connection plays a role here.

Nope. Rodney Peete doesn't count.. apparently.

Kinda ironic that they still have to describe Young as the QB who led his COLLEGE team to the championship 5 years ago
