Vince Young needs to grow up, according to local writer - The Orange Mane

jonny1 · 11-13-2007, 10:05 AM

I heard this on local (Nashville) sports radio yesterday.

Since I was watching the Broncos game and not the Titans, I didn't see this, but a caller into the radio show said that Young was really showing up his receivers during the game, yelling at them numerous times, went off on the coaches in his postgame presser, and worst of all, was heading into the locker room BEFORE the game was over.

The caller said that a bunch of fans and a bunch of players started yelling at him, "Get back out there on the sideline, you are supposed to be a leader."

One of the local writers said that this kind of behavior has been ongoing with Young.

I have nothing but respect for Vince Young, he's a great RB.

Madden curse!

I wonder if he's one of those types that always tries to blame others for things that go wrong......

Crushaholic · 11-13-2007, 10:52 AM

I just hope the Titans/Vince Young meltdown continues Monday...

Broncos123 · 11-13-2007, 11:06 AM

Hope he fights all week with his teammates and coaches and they have problems on Monday. Hopefully they make up on Tuesday after a long flight home.

Young will find it difficult to be able to carry a team on his back like he did in college. He does need to grow up mentally or else he wont survive the NFL. But in his defense he really doesnt have much to work with. To me the Titans have overachieved the last couple of years.

Raidersbane · 11-13-2007, 11:18 AM

Vince is too high a draft pick for anything to be his fault....

Bronco in TN. · 11-13-2007, 11:20 AM

Young didn't do any of that. I was at the game and was watching his demeanor. If anything, he wasn't emotional enough.

Next up: Jason of LA comes to VY's emotional rescue.

Smiling Assassin27 · 11-13-2007, 11:30 AM

VY is the least of our worries. keep him in the pocket and he'll hang himself eventually. it's the Titan defense that is gonna give Cutler fits.

Are they better than Pittsburgh? If not, I'm not worried.

the titans might have the most physical front seven in the league

what are you, titans fan or Broncos fan?

bpc · 11-13-2007, 12:28 PM

Young is a great talent but he looks like an ass 2/3's of the time. He does need to grow up. Him and B-Marsh should take a class together.

broncofan2438 · 11-13-2007, 01:08 PM

Hopefully this mess carries over to the Denver game and we can blow them out

Kaylore · 11-13-2007, 01:20 PM

This sounds like someone's trying to make something out of nothing.

And people that say Vince Young = Michael Vick have not watched him play.

-Slap- · 11-13-2007, 01:36 PM

I never heard about the prima donna stuff, but the guy is just a terrible passer.

Four TDs and ten picks on the season and he's averaging a Harringtonlike 5.79 yards per pass attempt.

Kee in mind a local writer here (woody paige) says the same things about Cutler...

Smartass!

Back before he was drafted I wouldn't spend a 3rd on him. Last year I was eating crow and even admitted I missed on that one. Well maybe I waas right after all. My observation of him was that he didn't have a strong arm, he didn't run a prostyle offense in college, he has really bad throwing mechanics, and that he was also not a very smart man. I looked at these and said I wouldn't spend a 3rd on him.

He has played thus far very poorly so unlike whar he did last year.
