Good-bye Vince Young. You're gone. You're history. You're out of here, and you represent 12 million plus dollars that the Titans franchise can spend on things that might actually help the team, something you've utterly failed to do in half a decade. So it's time for you to do the one thing that would have saved your job as starting QB for our team: SHUT THE FUCK UP.
It's not that you're a bad player. When you can follow the rules, concentrate, keep your fucking mouth shut and lead your team, the Titans do all right. Not as well as we did in the 2008 season when you were benched for driving around town with a knee injury threatening bad behavior and Kerry Collins took the team to 13 and 3, but you do okay, too. No, not a bad player. A person of poor character, ruled by his emotions, and who does not have the wherewithal to lead a team. And so you're done, and now, characteristically, you are going to whine about it to anyone who will listen, this time about how Coach Jeff Fisher never trusted you.
The USA Today article (amusingly labeled with the word "content") says that while Young accepts his firing (When was the last time you got a choice? "You're fired!" "No, I don't think so." "Oh. Well, we'll see you tomorrow, then.") he complains that Fisher never trusted him, skipping right over the fact that he was benched early in his career with the Titans for rule-breaking, misbehaved on and off the field, and never did much of anything to earn trust, something I guess he thought came for free. Regardless, Jeff Fisher put up with a lot of shit from you - compelled no doubt, by many wins and Bud Adams - but reached his limit when you threw your little November tantrum after losing to the Redskins. You can't cuss out and refuse to deal with the coach, dickhead, and this time, it cost you millions, and the opportunity to stay here and play football. And Fisher? He's staying.
Me? I'm just hoping for a drama-free winning 2011 Titans season. Bye-bye Vince. I'm sure you think it's everyone's fault but yours. Try and keep your mouth closed at your next job, yeah?
