Has Vince Young played his last game?
In college, Vince Young impressed me as a laid-back yet confident football player and young man. In his rookie NFL season, he was named the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. His future seemed bright.
Earlier in the year, however, he surprised many when news surfaced that he had thought about retirement.
Earlier in the year, however, he surprised many when news surfaced that he had thought about retirement.
“I really thought long and hard about it,” Young told the Web site. “There was so much going on with my family. It was crazy being an NFL quarterback. It wasn’t fun anymore. All of the fun was out of it. All of the excitement was gone. All I was doing was worrying about things.Then earlier this week reports show that Vince Young was “suicidal” even though Young and Jeff Fisher said reports of the incident were “overblown”.
“I asked [Fisher], ‘What made her worry about him?’” Lt. Andrea Swisher wrote. “He stated, ‘His mood, his emotions, he wants to quit, and he mentioned suicide several times.’ He went on to state that [Young] left the house with a gun.”Nobody likes to be booed, but Young is extremely thin-skinned. He says that he is “committed” to football, but Pro Football Talk says he has lost the Titans’ locker room and may never play again.
The recent post from MDS regarding Peter King’s report that Titans quarterback Vince Young has lost the locker room (by the way, Eddie George says the same thing on FSN’s PFP . . . check your local listing for the next showing) convinces us that, barring a dramatic turn of events, Young will never play football again for the Tennessee Titans, and possibly never play again for any team.I’m not sure whether or not Young will play football again. But he’s fun to watch so I hope he does.
