    Chris Johnson hasn't even been here 5 years. He's been here lately but Young has helped us 4 seasons. He might do more than Young, but he hasn't played long enough.

    And for the poster who put Haynesworth...he had a monster year and an elite partial year the year prior. VY gave 4 solid years.

    While CJ and Haynesworth might've had a bigger impact on that individual year, they haven't/didn't put together full campaigns.

    Rookie of the year, the sophomore slump, then 2 solid years where he brought us from pretenders to contenders. Even as a rookie he revived a horrible Titans team and made the rest of the season exciting to watch.

    30-17 as a starter and he did it with the worst receiving corp in football possibly (early on) and a bad defense at times. He didn't have a defense or offensive studs to boost his stats.

    Munch knows what he's doing in bringing Vince back. He wants to win. VY has been a winner all his life.

    Bringing Vince back? The team has already announced he's not coming back. You still gonna be saying this when he's wearing some other team's uniform next season?

    We want him gone cause he's garbage. I'm starting to think the VY homers are blind or just slow. Actually, I'm lying. I've always known that.:ha:

    See that's the kind of utterly stupid mess I'm talking about! VY is garbage.

    Out of 43 Rookies of the year since 1967 to 2010 9 of them never made it to the pro bowl. That includes Cadillac Williams and Sam Bradford. Everyone else has been to multiple pro bowls, including the 2006 winner VY.
    Out of 43 Rookies of the year that were taken in the top 10 only 2 haven't made it to pro bowls. They were already mentioned above and one of them is coming off of an outstanding rookie year.
    ROY, 2 time pro bowler, and the latest year was number 1 in rating, and int to td ratio through almost the first half of the year and he's garbage?

    You calling people slow? Based on what your saying hear that's almost like George W. Bush calling someone a bad President!
    I know you hate the guy but come on be real dude!!!!!!

    It's fine and valid for you to say something like VY fell off, or he hasn't lived up to his potential or that he is average, below average, ok QB that makes to many mistakes, childish, immature, or that you just don't like him as a player but to say he is garbage dude. I cannot stress enough how stupid and utterly clueless you seem and the others like u. Just admit you don't like the dude and that's it.

    There is no positive stat or accolade in the NFL that you can achieve by just sucking it up. If you suck, history will show u suck by you individually never having ur name on any stat or award whatsoever! Whether u like it or not VY has those awards and a couple records already.

    I think it's really unlikely, but maybe ol' VY will be more comfortable under this new regime.

    Who knows?

    If not, we better get something good for him, for CJ and Britt.

    I'll agree with this...we are 5 years into VY's career so we should know what we have, and he is not garbage. He is not the elite franchise QB we had hoped for when we drafted him either. And believe it or not, the blame for that does not all fall on Jeff Fisher. I believe Fisher was behind VY until he quit against the Jags in 2008. After that, right or wrong, he never believed in him. When VY came in his rookie year, it was easy for him, so he never put in the work needed to become elite. I believe it was Michael Lombardi that said "Vince Young has a legendary lack of work ethic." Now people can say he was praised for his work this offseason, which is nice, but that is 1 year out of 5. He was also coming up on 2 option years in his contract worth more then $20 million total.

    VY is done here, Munch has said it, Reinfeldt has said it, the team is moving on, and personally, I'm excited by that. I'm looking forward to seeing if the guy they draft can become the franchise QB we wanted in 2006. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes Munch makes in the schemes on both sides.
    In my opinion this is an exciting time to be a Titans fan. For the first time in 16 years we have a fresh start, we not only have a new direction with Munch, but will have new quarterback to lead us in that direction.

    He made the cover of Madden. They don't put just anybody on there. That's gotta count for something right....
