    I really think that if this guy is given another chance he can turn into something good....He still has untapped talent. I know he's a head case but it may be worth a shot?

    Let the flaming begin

    I wouldn't be opposed to it. The thing is, if he can't handle the pressure and media in Tennissee, how could he possibly handle NY?

    this is a good point....but was it the media that made him lose it or just his overall situation

    I'm not sure. He seems to me like one of those guys who has been pampered all his life by people telling him how great he was.... and then the minute he faced some adversity, he folded. It takes a really thick spine to make it in the NFL. It is gut check time for Mr. Young. That being said, I really think he does have a lot of talent. He has a lot of tools, and he actually seems like a good person from most accounts.

    In NY it's okay to get psychiatric care and take anti-depressants. In TN going to a shrink or taking meds to control depression is the equivalent of getting your brown wings.

    i really think that VY might have grown thicker skin after this episode and i think hes worth a serious look.....cant think of any other available QB via trade or FA that has more to prove then VY....and a man w/ something to prove is a dangerous man

    The guy knows how to win. I didn't think he was NFL material coming out of Texas but he proved me wrong. Right now, our offense is looking weak and indescript. He would be a really good fit right now. I would be 100% behind this deal.

    Young has already had more success in his NFL career than Ryan Leaf ever did. And Vince actually has ability.

    Vince Young has talent he would be a nice addition... Once upon a time everyone was high on him just becuz he had an emotional break down doesnt mean anything... the nfl is alot of pressure from college to nfl it becomes a job and loses it fun aspect of it in a way... now its all about business and for someone who is 21-24 sometimes cant handle all the decision making that comes with it.... Sometimes the pressure of trying to please everyone is to much

    Which ability? He?s a terribel passer, and all his running ability does is get him on the Injury Report.

    Have you watched him play? He was not a terrible passer. Not at all.

    Why would the Titans want to give up on VY when Collins is only going to be around 1 or 2 yrs at the most?

    Young will be due his 2nd contract by then, so keeping him is not really an option.
