Vince Young is not a bright man

Vince Young is ready to play ball

We already know that Titans’ QB Vince Young is not an intelligent person.  He got a whopping 6 on his Wonderlic test, almost quit the game after his rookie year, had a mental breakdown last season after being injured, and has a habit of going out clubbing and acting like a jackass.

So why he insists on talking to the press is a complete mystery to me.  Doesn’t this guy have a PR advisor by now?  Apparently not, because Vince had an awful lot to say in a recent interview with WMAR-TV in Baltimore:

“I definitely want to get back out there playing ball and picking up where I left off, winning games and having a good time with my teammates and with the fans,” Young said, according to the television station. “At the same time, if them guys don’t want me to be in there, it’s time for me to make a career change for myself. Because the fact is I’m ready to play ball. If they’re not ready for me to play ball, then somebody is.”

To some, this might sound like a fiery, self-confident athlete setting goals for himself, and showing his passion for the game.  However, this is Vince Young we’re talking about here.

And this most recent statement is in stark contrast to what Vince had to say in an interview with The Tennessean, just over a month ago:

“I am just going to keep my mouth closed, man. All I am doing this year is shutting up, just shutting up and working,” Young said. “I am going to smile and shut up and continue being Vince Young, a happy smiling guy. I am not going to get into the hoopla any more because of the fact I can’t win any more, I see.

“I am just going to shut my mouth and play my role and if they need me then I will be available as a weapon.”

So much for keeping his mouth shut. huh?

Young is a million-dollar athlete with a ten-cent head … not exactly the type of guy you want leading your troops into battle.  And he’s certainly not in a position of leverage where he can demand to start anywhere in the NFL, let alone in Tennessee.  The Titans did just fine without him last season, and his distractions have become tiresome.  I bet Nelly filled Young’s head with all these ideas.

If they’re smart, the Titans will use this as an opportunity to trade Young to a team that’s more desperate than they are for a QB.
