Vince Young is one of those quarterbacks who had the storybook college football career. Winning his team a national championship on a heroic play at the end of the 4th quarter, Young was on top of the world when he was selected to lead the Tennessee Titans to glory as their quarterback.
Drafted third overall in the 2006 draft (behind Reggie Bush and Mario Williams), Vince Young has spent three full seasons in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans. While he had a chance to act as the team's starting QB in 2007, he fell short of expectations, posting a rather low QB rating during the year.
Young simply wasn't ready to handle the job, they thought. After a shaky start to his 2008 season, Young was booed by fans during a game after throwing an interception. This led to a short-term disappearance and a rumored suicide attempt. Young simply couldn't handle the pressure.
Ironically, this team played even better under the leadership of Collins and finished with one of the best records in the NFL during the 2008 regular season.
At this point, it looked like Young was nowhere near ready to resume his role as a starter. Collins continued to thrive, but going into 2009, the Titans look like anything but their old selves.
Having lost their first 5 games, it seems like the playoff chances of this team are slim to none. Vince Young is 26, so now's as good a time as any to give him a shot. We may just see that in the weeks to come.
