Sideline incident raises more concerns about Young | www.tennessean.com | The Tennessean
Went to a football game on Sunday and a soap opera broke out. Welcome to Titans '08. If the game is dull, just focus on the sideline. That's where the real drama unfolds. It took only one game — a victory over Jacksonville, no less — for the season to take a strange turn. This team has issues at quarterback, be it a tight hamstring, a sprained knee, a bruised ego, a bad attitude or all of the ...

BEGINNING OF THE END FOR YOUNG?
ProFootballTalk.com — Though a partially torn MCL reportedly will keep Titans quarterback Vince Young off the field for the next two-to-four weeks, an incident that occurred not long before the injury could be the thing that truncates his career in Tennessee. According to David Climer of the Tennesseean , Young apparently attempted to take himself out of the game after throwing an interception in the fourth quarter.  Young supposedly tried to blame his reluctance to return on a tightening hamstring, even though he sought no treatment for it while the defense was on the field. “I came on the field ...

Officially time to put this to rest…
DGDB&D: a Texans blog. — ... only one game — a victory over Jacksonville, no less — for the season to take a strange turn. This team has issues at quarterback, be it a tight hamstring, a sprained knee, a bruised ego, a bad attitude or all of the above. Frankly, it’s hard to see the Titans taking flight if Vince Young doesn’t get his act together — physically and emotionally. Playing great defense is one thing; having to constantly defend your quarterback is another. Wow. Matt and I have kvetched a lot about the Mario pick.  ...

Vince Young Unwilling to Go on Field, Then Gets Knee Injury
FanHouse — Filed under: Titans, AFC South, NFL Injuries This Vince Young story is very weird. Weird in a franchise quarterback wanting to quit football after his rookie year, shirtless man-party way. I'm going to let the Tennessean describe this, because it is so weird: For whatever reason, Young appeared unwilling to take the field midway through the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon following his second interception and a resulting cascade of boos from the fans at LP Field. Eventually, he re-entered ...

Young Refused To Play Right Before He Got Hurt
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ... The former Texas star is still basically a glorified runner who occasionally throws the ball — and not with much accuracy, I might add — who also battles the occasional temper tantrum. And yesterday’s game against the Jaguars perfectly encapsulated all those lovable qualities. Young took himself out of the game, apparently refused to go back in, and when he did, he was promptly injured. God works in mysterious ways, indeed : For whatever reason, Young appeared unwilling to take the field midway through the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon following his second interception ...

Vince Young Knee Injury
Every Morning Quarterback — ... just not take the field when it’s your turn. Vince seems immature to me. On the field, he simply hasn’t grown into the pocket passer the Titans need him to be. That, coupled with an apparent problem dealing with adversity, equals quarterback troubles in Tennessee. Vince was an amazing college quarterback. But it will be interesting to see if he still has his starting job with the Titans when he returns from this injury. Sources: TitansOnline.com, Tennesseean.com, Photo: Newscom Share This

Someone call a medic
My Sports Rumors — ... QB Vince Young - There is a lot of speculation on how severe his injury actually is. Some say his MCL is just sprained, while numerous reports say its torn. Regardless he’s only expected to miss about 2 to 4 weeks. A sprain would be much better thou for player and team. Veteran Kerry Collins will get the playing time while Young recovers. An interesting thing has been noted in the Nashville Tennessean, apparently the QB had tightness in his hamstring and didn’t want to reenter the game. Four players later, he suffered this injury. Is it true? ...
