Would You Trust Your Team With Vince Young?
Well...I wouldn't, but I didn't like him coming out of Texas.
He didn't really have to read defenses at Texas. If his first option was covered, he'd take off and make something happen with his feet. Well, that sh*t works OK in college when you're the best athlete on the field but has Reggie Bush has found out in New Orleans, pretty much everybody can run in the NFL.
He had never had to deal with being booed or a lack of success and it's very obvious he didn't deal with it very well when it happened. And I'm not sure the second time is going to go a whole lot better. This is from Peter King's Friday column on si.com:

Uh-oh. The attitude's not what I'd like to hear. "If we win, it's going to be good,'' Young said Thursday. "If we lose, it's all going to be Vince Young's fault.''
All that having been said, if I'm Bud Adams and VY is due a huge hunk of money next year, I'd want to know what I've got. Is VY my franchise QB? or do I need to look at drafting a QB in next year's draft?The Titans aren't going anywhere this year. Put him in and let him play and find out what you've got.
