The Saga Of Vince Young.


NASHVILLE -- There has been a lot of speculation that, despite what the Titans depth chart says, that Vince Young actually came to training camp considered Tennessee's No. 3 quarterback. If Young's performance Saturday night doesn't bring a halt to that, the words of Titans owner Bud Adams almost certainly will. "This guy has a has a tremendous future in football," Adams said after Young went 9-for-14 for 131 yards and a touchdown in a 27-20 preseason victory against Tampa Bay. "He's under contract. He's not going anywhere. He's our quarterback of the future," Adams said when asked whether there was any chance Young wouldn't remain with the team. Young and Adams are both from Houston, and there never has been any question that making Young the No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 draft was the owner's call. The game was Young's first playing at LP Field since his career tailspinned in last year's regular-season opener. After getting booed by Tennessee fans following an interception, Young resisted returning to the field. He was hurt later in the game, lost his starting job to Kerry Collins and played in only two more contests.In training camp, the Titans also have been giving eight-year NFL vet Patrick Ramsey a good look. "He was having problems in 2008," Adams said of Young. "He got his mind off football . . . Tonight, I was really proud of him."

I guess I got a thing for fallen stars. Chalk it up to making Redemption Song my favorite joint back in the 6th grade. I really do hope Vince Young can get it together and I actually think he'll be starting by the end of the season. I think it's safe to say that Kerry Collins is as reliable as a Drew Bledsoe type. He can still chuck it but he's as immobile the chick you knocked up prom night and she just found out you inherited terrible ted lindsay's money. But back to Young. This isn't some dyanmic college kid that everyone is just waiting to bloom at the right time like Jamarcus Russel. Everyone knows he can play. He came in and went 8-5 as a rookie and then led a pretty shitty team to the playoffs in his second year. And last year he lost his job and went on suicide watch but like a bad hookup, I'm willing to forget it if you are. All I'm saying is I'm not going to be shocked when he gets his starting job back after Kerry Collins is put on the injured list with a bad case of hemroids.
