NFL Live just sold me on VY

[Kevin Greene]

He has a ton of talent. If you don't think the guy is talented then I don't know what to tell you.

But he's a total headcase. I was hoping that getting cut would humble him but last interview I saw he's still talking like he's an elite player and future HOFer. Ugh.

Still looks like he doesn't really get it. He'll probably be out of the NFL before he does.

Interesting observation on Vince Young. A couple days ago I saw an interview with Mike Vick in Hawaii on NFL Network. It was startling. Michael Vick is either a changed man or worthy of an Academy Award for Best Actor as an NFL Franchise QB.

Sadly, and conveniently, the NFL edited out the part where they were discussing Vick's time in Levinworth and what a humbling experience it was. :nono:

This.

The guy is a sociopath. Demented. While he seems to have figured out how to play the QB position better, but only a homer would believe he has "changed".

LOL @ Thread Title.

Let's see: Go into the season with two young guys that have less than a year of real experience between them, and a vet QB with deep psychological issues, a history of behavioral issues, the belief that he deserves to be called "elite", and have that guy serving as the mentor to the younger guys?

I'll pass :nonod:

And again, can we remember that the coach who Young nearly got fired was a teammate of coach Ron Rivera?

Anybody really think Fisher's going to give Rivera a good recommendation on Young? :sosp:

(and this is what, the 50th Vince Young thread this offseason? sheesh)

Deep psychological issues? Aren't all NFL players examined for those types of things?

[top dawg]

Knowing the way that Jerry runs things, it won't happen, but I am kind of sick of hearing about how VY is a head case, blah blah blah.

Some of you guys---who are seemingly intelligent otherwise---get on your high horses of pseudo perfection and seemingly become oblivious to the fact that people can change, improve, progress, etc. Your hollow philosophy becomes even more evident in light of the situations where the imperfect player has shown marked improvement on and off the field.

Would have been nice to get Vick cheap and when he outright said he wanted to be in a Panther uniform. Draft AJ Green, and its lights out.

Ah what could have been.

Not that I know of, and many times it's difficult for players to get adequate help if they need it. Read up on Ricky Williams' first stint in the league.

once again why can he not change?

[riddel]

He hasn't been released or traded.......Fisher has......Bud may have had a change of heart......jus sayin

[Boltergeist]

What makes you think a guy who believes he's elite is going to sign for cheap?

And again, I have a hard time seeing this given the Ron Rivera-Jeff Fisher connection.

I wonder how that connection is - there's quite a bit of animosity between the Chargers and Titans. Another thing to note is that while Rivera was on our staff, the Chargers played Tennessee 4 times, and won all 4.

[bleys]

once again why can he not change?

I think the question is, how many ever do?

[GritsRgreat]

why not matt leinart lol

[Punisher]

Young the head case or whatever psychoanalysis you want to put on him >>>>>> Clausen. If Drew Brees was our QB, I could understand the disdain.

Yes, people can change. That doesn't mean it'd be smart to give a guy like Dimitrius Underwood another chance.

We've already got one question mark at the QB spot in Clausen. Only an idiot sets up a contingency plan for one question mark using another question mark. Rivera is not an idiot.

That, plus one of the things you sign a veteran for is his ability to teach some tips and tricks to the newer guys. What's Young going to teach them? The proper way to throw your pads in the stands, blow off your teammates and create a suicide drama? :frown2:

The team that hired his old quarterback coach has already said they don't want him. What makes people think we will?
