Just a Thought ~ Vince Young

If you had very high expectations of your worth, make bad decisions, have bad accuracy, and no poise in the pocket, either you are a rich man who is frantically and unsuccessfully trying to play pocket pool in a public place, or you are V Young. Furthermore, if you have bad throwing mechanics and tend to run before passing, albeit fast but not M Vick fast, does simply being a winner at Texas justify being the third overall pick in the NFL draft? This is one draft pick that J Fisher and the Titans completely bombed on in the 2006 NFL draft. The worst part is if V Young was not their selection, yet another bust in the making, M Leinart "the most NFL ready QB of the 2006 class," would've been their selection instead.

Now the news comes out that he recently suggested he wants to start somewhere, whether it is with the Titans or another team. However today, his agent said there are no trade requests on the table. The fact that he is now publicizing his apparent bad decision making, this time off the field, shows a substantial amount of immaturity. That is a quality which is inappropriate for an NFL QB. It seems more and more likely that Young is not the future for the Titans, especially at his price. I wouldn't be surprised if the Titans do trade or cut him eventually.

V Young has already proved that he has a long way to go to become a relevant starter in the NFL. 58 year old K Collins was easily able to fend him off and retain the starting job, and will more than likely be the starter the entire 2009 season. It is safe to say that owners in dynasty circles can sleep easy if they decide to cut him. Granted, Young could become some kind of a Wildcat specialist, but I have a good feeling that the Wildcat will drop down to the realm of the occasional trick play after this season. I will therefore say that V Young is droppable on a dynasty team of 26 roster spots or less if there is a valuable prospect in free agency.
