Where is VY? (all things Vince Young goes here)

lol Did Vince go "Big Ben" on your sister or something?

 

You realize that if we made the playoffs, it is a fact that we would have been a 5th or 6th seed, right? The Colts were 14-2.

The only chance we would've had at winning a playoff game would have been to get the 5th seed and play the Bengals. They were the ONLY playoff team we would've been capable of beating.

You should be pleased with the fact that I said we would've made the playoffs (likely with a 10-6 record) had VY started every game in 2009.

That being said, I've finally warmed up to his departure... just wish he could play one more season for us, then move on.

 

I'll go out on a limb and say this...and really think about this.

The fans determined VY's fate in Nashville. If he would've had support after the incident he'd still be on the roster. For some of you, that makes you happy. For others, it is upsetting.

My best case scenario...

Drafting Jake Locker (or taking a QB Round 1) and letting Vince play out his contract.

 

'the Diva' will never see that 2011 roster bonus, hes gone.

 

That still doesn't make him a bad QB.

 

This Kind of shoots down all the VY nuthuggers theories that Fisher hated him. As per usual, only certain people know the details, the rest is all opinion.

Fisher on Vince Young: 'I was there for him'
July, 25, 2011
Jul 251:11PM ETEmailPrintCommentsBy Paul KuharskyVince Young’s soon to be officially an ex-Titan. Jeff Fisher’s already been divorced from the team for some time.

Still, their relationship and who’s at fault for it crumbling, is a topic that can bring about hearty discussion.

Recently on Rich Eisen’s podcast, when hit with the idea that he never wanted or liked Young, Fisher defended himself as vigorously as I can remember.

Fisher: "If that’s coming with him then there is a misunderstanding. Because he’ll forget all the things that I did for him over the years."

Eisen: "Like what?"

Fisher: "Like trying to teach him how to be a pro, trying to teach him how to be on time. [I was] very supportive of him during the hard times, helped him work through a lot of issues off the field. I mean that one incident was obviously the biggest incident where we had the situation with the potential threat and the gun and you know the six hours waiting [when we] could not find him and all those things [Not wanting or supporting him,] that’s not true. I was there. You can talk to any of his teammates, I was there for him."

I’ve long been on record as saying that for too long, Fisher did too much to protect Young.

The coach often worked too hard to protect players who, if fully exposed, would have looked bad. He always thought public pressure out of such situations would not be beneficial. I believe at a certain point if a player can’t stand up to it, it helps a team decide whether that player has what it takes to cut it in the NFL.

Chris Mortensen is reporting that Philadelphia and Miami have done due diligence on Young while considering backup quarterback options during the lockout.

Also in this podcast: A bit more on Fisher’s upcoming role with the league office. Look for him to be an advocate for coaches with the NFL’s officiating department

 

Fisher didn't want VY to fail (why the hell he would have wanted that, they needed each other to achieve their common goal). The problem was Fisher didn't want him as his QB and didn't trust him, which is why VY got pulled against Pitt (I can promise you KFC would stayed in), which is why he didn't get the start against Miami, which is why he didn't get a chance to go test out his hand against Washington (any other coach would have at least given his QB a series).

 

Fans will be fans. That means that we criticize players. Players understand this. It's as old as professional sports. And we're pretty easy on people in this market in comparison. Go look at Philadelphia or the New York markets sometime.
