    Torn MCL is only 2-6 weeks? Doesn't that require surgery too?

    It can depending on the severity of the tear. Knowing how pros are he could rest it to get the inflamation down, take a shot to kill the pain, and play on it soon if its a minor tear. and then go back for surgery later.

    I hope for his health its a small one.

    Young is terribly inaccurate. Unless it is the lack of talent around him.

    I think they have a better shot with Collins.

    My fantasy team is getting worse and worse by the second. Great.

    If you picked VY, you brought it upon yourself.

    Nope, it was an automated draft. But still, my point was more in reference to that I was given basically all injured players. Yet another reason I should have done a league with live draft.

    Ya, I avoid autopicks like the plague. In a league I do with some friends, we include D players, someone who didn't show up ended up with Brady and Osi.

    Good times

    I think Collins is a better qb. Vince young's style of football is boring as fuck.

    If you took Vince Young, it was already bad.

    I wouldn't say boring. I would say just shitty.

    But, yes, Collins is better.

    As long as the coach didnt recieve texts like this. I guess it's all good. That article is scary though. Hopefully he will be ok.

    Yes he did threaten to retire at one point.

    There seems to be something to his strange behaviour.

    Are the pressures of being an NFL QB getting to him? He needs to get back to having fun like he did in college. Except the D in the NFL is way stronger than what he faced back then.

    Seems pretty clear that he has emotional problems.
