Vince Young reflects on what he would change from his NFL career and his rift with coach Jeff Fisher, but says it would take guaranteed money him to ever consider a NFL comeback.
James Allen damn! That’s some longevity for a mediocre .509 guy. He’s like 2.5 Jay Cutlers. He must have some other skills to have been kept around for so long?
@@cb-tz8og I think he's one of those guys whose ceiling is mediocrity. A crap team would hire him, he would take it to a middle-of-the-pack team and start winning some games. But his teams (very rarely) went beyond that; they flat-lined. So, he would be mediocre for a few years, racking up winning season after winning season but without playoff results, and then he'd get fired, and start over again.
As a Titans fan, I'm still a huge Vince Young fan and loved watching him play. Too bad things ended the way they did and certainly prematurely, but there are still a few very memorable moments from VY. Years after he retired, my brother met him in Texas and said he was the nicest guy.
The only reason Fisher coached as long as he did was because of all his friendships with the owners and the commissioner. The dude was always an average coach who ran Eddie George into the ground. He lived off that one Super Bowl appearance that talk a miracle to get out of the first round.
John McDuffie How though? Vince walked into a situation where his head coach made it known he didn't want him there from day 1. As a young man, how do you deal with that?
How did he blackball McNair he went ravens that's not being blackballed . If ravens cut McNair then that is the ravens choice. Stop with the victim crybaby shit . How do u know what goes on behind NFL front office doors ? U dont u would have no way too.
Mcnair didn't have a Moss or TO but Derrick Mason was a VERY good WR for years and Wycheck was on that level as a TE. Eddie George was a stud RB. I followed Steve for his whole career and some of those Titans teams were excellent from top to bottom. I still can't believe they never won a super bowl because they were absolutely stackedo on both sides.
@gtgargon I think that ‘brand’ and “reputation “ are two different things. ‘Brand’ is inherently selfish, and more often than not , monetized. But a good “reputation” plays hand in hand with how you conduct yourself, and treat others. And the irony of your “nitpick” comment, 😝 priceless.
WTF is a "brand"?. Hi, I would like to purchase some Vince Young brand because he's doing well. WTF IS HE SELLING? I'D LIKE TO SELL Eli Manning. His brand has had a tough week
Spoken from maturity. I wish you the best my man. I too have many faults and have been immature when I was young. You have grown not only as a NFL player, but more importantly as man. Blessed. Grown ass man right here!
VY was a good dude. I actually really like him as a person. Very genuine and sincere. Jeff fisher is a terrible coach and ruined his career. I hate fisher.
Noah Atnikov if you hear all the stories in Nashville, Vince didn't work hard and he hangout with LenDale White at TGI FRIDAYS all the time, I was at the game he got booed a decided to sit out the game himself because he got booed
Michael Morris Yet Vince Young's record as a starting QB for Tennessee was 30-17. Compared to Fisher's mediocre sub .500 record as coach. I never understood why there wasn't more of an effort to make this work. Fisher has proven to be an average at best QB with the Rams and I believe if VY and Fisher had worked things out both their careers would have ended up better.
Truth is Jeff Fisher never wanted him and he never hid that fact well. Bud Adams should have just listened to coach Fisher and the GM at the time for Vince's own sake.
Coaches always like to talk about keep things in house, but pick and choose when they want to keep in house. chip kelly did the same to desean jackson. I hate hypocritical coaches.
@forman208 Lamar was successful because of how they ran that offense. They tailored it around him. They're basically the same player except Lamar had better weapons and coaches that want to see him succeed. Jeff Fisher hated VY and didn't care to see him do too well. Jeff wanted to bench VY.
Die hard Longhorns fan, you gave us memories that will live on longer then all of us. I appreciate you as a player but even more then that as a genuine human being. I wish you the best and hope you live a long healthy life, always stay humble! Long live #10!
Real story is he was pissed Texans passed on him and wanted to be in his hometown. I remember seeing him up in the club partying in Houston and dude had a game to play within the next 24 hrs.
James Blunt ....doesn’t sound like you’ve ever employed anyone paying them millions of dollars a year let alone expect them to be ready to do their job. I reckon paying someone minimum wage might be different versus the money he was getting paid and expecting the team to win every game.
@@CJP-oz6hr If his performance on game day matches his pay, what he does the night before is irrelevant. They don't own his life just because he's getting paid millions
Although I feel that V Young squandered his career, I also feel that J Fisher is a snake in the grass. What is said in a meeting should never be aired out to the media. There is a reason why Fisher is the all time losing coach in the NFL
Its simple. The truly great ones have something Vince didn't have, character and humility. When you think you're all that, you're ready for a fall. In truth, many QB's have this problem, its a product of personal achievement and it can either breed arrogance or it can strengthen humility. Vince was a great player, no question but the story is written and for all his talk, he bares an equal part in that story. Rather than being a story of personal triumph, overcoming the weight of his own ego it is instead a cautionary tale or what NOT to do when handed such a huge blessing. Stay within yourself, stay focused on the BIGGER goals and rid yourself of selfishness.
You sound just like a bitch to me. This guy was 23 when he came into the league. I swear, you males in America sound more and more like the feminist females that I never hear say anything bad about another woman but quick to jump on a man for the smallest infraction. Smh
@Roderick Harper Fisher is a whole other story, I'm no fan of him either BUUUUT, Fisher also didn't WANT to pick Young specifically BECAUSE he heard about the guys personal life and his attitude towards the choices he made. In short, Fisher was not impressed with Youngs character. They were going to clash no matter what. A marriage has to be mutual and this pick was forced on Fisher by the owner of the Titans, it was doomed in any case. Young didn't excel once Fisher left, either. Nor did he, as other QB's have, excel with another team, Steve Young, Jim Plunkett, Randal Cunningham, Kurt Warner...the list goes on and on of QB's that had the character to continue on and thrive elsewhere. This video is about Young, not Fisher. Again the story is over. He had some flash in the pan moments but he never really achieved anything of note or at least nothing that anyone holds dear in memory. There are COUNTLESS stories of Youngs ill advised decisions and the consequences, of course he's going to defend himself or simply deflect to save face, I get it but that's also why he never did anything, he can't swallow it, he has to project and posture and make a scene.
@Roderick Harper Young KNEW he wasn't starting in either of those cases, he knew what he was getting into, an easy paycheck backing up a solid starter.
Vince made two Pro Bowls and was an Offensive Rookie of the Year. Not a bad career. Fischer was an awful coach. Whose offensive philosphy cost many of his teams. He was just lucky enough to be endowed with a slew of great draft picks who turned into all pros. When that group was gone he couldn't take a team to the playoffs to save his life. He ruined every qb he coached. How many years did McNair get beat up because of his limited offensive strategies.
Yeah fisher doesnt understand offense very well and has something against young guys. Vince probably had some things he needed to fix but no way that was going to happen with fisher as the head coach.
I thought he won the backup job. They cut one guy and left VY. Then they cut HIM and picked another guy basically off the streets. Fucked up situation but we don't know what happened bts. I believe that's why he said it have to be some guaranteed contract due to that.
Yep.... The hole org was screwed bcuz of Bum. A good owner wouldve sat the 2 down & chewed some a$$ & then said hug each other & lets go win. If they couldnt then let 1 of em go! Btw... VY was better than SMcnare... fisher just couldnt c it.
Yo I’m a niners fan but back in the day I was a half ass titans fan I loved Air McNair and Eddie George Jevon Kearse Frank Wycheck. They were fun team to root for!
The NFL is so full of themselves, they don't even know how to get out of their own way. Vince Young, like a few others are superior talents in many way, but were largely, mishandled by desperate, unwise, coaches and organizations who pander to the media. What Vince says is accurate. But, what he did not get is very very important. You have to deal with people where they are. And be wise enough to know how to play the game to get what you want. The coaches often don't know what they are doing: WHY, because MOST of the got there via the old boy network and that is how this horrible system has been maintained over the years as they get off by wasting and mismanaging the very young talent that they were hired to develop.
He’s got no one to blame but himself EVERY team had to have a qb and these “kids” come out thinking they are bigger than the game and the truth is they’re not even close just like any job you can come out of college with a better degree than your boss but that doesn’t mean you become the boss stfu and do your job “make your bones” and show them you respect the game especially to those old school coaches then once you’ve done that,then you can voice an opinion just another big mouth know it all kid and no one likes them in any walk of life
@George Garvey Most single mothers I've known have required their children to perform and be good citizens. Of course all single mothers are not the same: there are widows, unwed mothers, drug addicted mothers, mothers working two jobs, etc.
He admitted in this interview he isnt a hard worker he said I would love to go to war to prove he was a hard worker but basically said he didn't want to put the work into proving it and it would be to hard and that he was actually tired of trying to prove it. That's the definition of not being a hard worker.
Also, sometimes it's a big shock for a high school or college star to get into the NFL and find out that he's just mediocre compared to all the other superior NFL players.
@Steevy Horton I've watched high school, college, and NFL (films only) players working out. Their workouts would drive regular people into total exhaustion.
He overestimated his value and acted out. As a result he didnt work as hard as he could. Didn't want to take a back seat and lost millions. The league is always bigger than any player.
Graham, you do great interviews man! I don't know how you get the opportunity to talk to all these guys, but i can't imagine your channel not blowing up very soon!
he's a shitty coach and young was a shitty nfl qb who pissed away all his money. he's still delusional talking abotu what he did in hs and college thinking that automatically translates to the nfl
Denard James it is different If he looks like he is still able to play plus keeping his legacy going and getting bigger pay checks. I’m surprised and VY went, he was interesting to watch on the field.
Best way to have your brand famous is to play at a better level which takes hard work and consistent play if you’re wearied about your brand it takes away from your play
I finally figured it out Mister Vince Young, you was just too good, because I'm from Nashville so I watched your career and I saw you have a great rookie season and you had about to maybe 3 wishi-washi Seasons where I could see that you were learning. And you were at a peak when everything went sour, but with everything you had going, you could have been really great and I guess not to be prejudiced on my end, but those old white guys could see your greatness, and didn't want you to outshine a lot of the guys that are famous now. You could have been like Michael Jordan, but it's okay, keep living your life it hasn't been bad, many other men would trade their life for what you had and have. I like you hints keep doing good.
Good quality 1-on-1 interview with Vince Young. I know we've all heard of Vince Young's legendary spending habits. And him going broke. But honestly, I felt that he did not receive a fair share of having the opportunity to utilize his skills like other quarterbacks. And yes, I totally understand many that criticized his QB flaws. But he was definitely not alone in that department. I mean, certain QBs like Kerry Collins, Mark Brunnell , Vinny Testaverde and many others clearly had QB flaws. Yet they were able to stay in the NFL for well over a decade. Vince Young for whatever reasons simply did not last long in the league over a blow-up with his head coach. I mean, c'mon!! Vince Young was definitely not the first sports athlete to lock horns with his head coach. Yet, he got screwed over badly. And Vince Young's mechanics were definitely not as bad as Tim Tebow. And despite that, I felt Tim Tebow at least deserved an opportunity too to play in the league. Too many QBs with the same skills and deficiencies were able to remain in the league. I guess the NFL has changed quite a bit. Even Matt Lienart, a horrible QB still remained in the league longer than Vince Young. I guess like Vince Young said, you must keep your mouth shut.
Jeff Fisher hates black qb's. Bud Adams wanted Vince Young. JF did the same thing to Steve McNair. He brought in Neil O'Donnell after McNair took JF to the Superbowl.
Please, bring Vince Young back into the NFL because I think he has learned from the experience, and possibly has change into a better person from the experience.
I've been an Oiler/Titan fan since 1973, & I wanted VY to succeed so much. It boiled down to some poor game decisions/interceptions. This led to fans turning on him a bit with boos, etc. He couldn't handle it. Particularly the Jacksonville (?) game where he threw his shoulder pads into the crowd on the way out. smh Then he disappeared with his gun, sulking. He lost Fisher, and the fans for good, on that day. His career NEVER recovered.
Big Ounce Yes, because that’s what gets you drafted to professional sports. That’s how players immediately sign endorsements deals and hire agents once they’re eligible. That’s why college stadiums are packed to see star players and colleges sell endless amounts of merchandise and high tv ratings. Even in college star athletes are building a brand and receive millions as soon as they turn pro.
Fischer was a crappy coach. If you kissed his ass you were his guy. VY could have been a hall of famer if he went to an organization with better coaching. VY played the game like a chessmaster with the legs of a Baryshnikov.
Sam Bradford spent more time on the Injuries List than contributors list. Granted Bradford was a good potential player. But every Head Coach is two games away from the Unemployment Line of NFL Coaches. You can't piss around with a potential player. Players must put out and win games.
Vince is a lie, he is just being humble, before he is completely black balled. Jeff Fisher screwed him over. Dont understand Jeff fisher still not winning sorry azz coach. He made his living off talented teams that would have went further without him. David Carr got over 5 years to get it right Vince had to do it in 2 with Jeff fisher micro managing him.
They say, time will tell the truth. Well as it turns out Vince Young was right, period. Fisher almost ruined two Q.B. Named NICK FOLES AND JERRED GULFF.
Man you didn't even want to listen to him. He's talking about how he let his ego take control and he's explaining why his coach triggered that inside of him. You hear excuses I hear reasons.
Vince screwed Vince. Guy was a joke of a teammate by all accounts. Didn't work hard. Showed up late for team flights. Argued with Fisher- I'm not a fisher fan. He's a joke. You must work hard in the NFL and many teammates have written and said he didn't. Vince screwed Vince.
Vince was reputed for missing practice, refusing to travel with the team and generally being insubordinate to his superiors. In the NFL, if you are winning or a team player, you are playing: no two ways about it.
Vince again blamed everyone but himself, no lessons learned here. Fighting what media battle??? you should have shut up and played, running ur mouth again in this interview.
Remember that time when half of the Steelers defense picked up Vince Young and slammed him on his head? If that tackle happened today the NFL would have suspended the entire Steelers organisation for the rest of the season.
I disagree, Vince was a great player period. Jeff didn't want him as his QB. NFL is a business, so you re a coach help this spectacular football player advance. Let him take you to the Super Bowl like he could have. Men have a pride about them that shouldn't be rubbed the wrong way. This guy was a beast that wasn't allowed to be great. Not the first time.
Vince Young is an amazing quarterback who has proven himself on all levels of football (highschool, college and professional) .. tip my hat to you my man
32 years old and still don't get it...hey bro everybody got a boss,,and it best not to cuss them out and maybe show some respect to some one who's been down the road you were just trying to get started on..and oh don't throw your helmet and shoulder pads into the stands ...
The title is very misleading because what I understand Vince to say is that if he would not have trusted Fisher, he would have been alright. Let's pause and take a step back and remember that it was the owner that wanted Vince and not Fisher. So it's plainly obvious why they bumped heads. Look at what Fisher did to McNair and this was the man who took him within a couple of inches of winning the Superbowl. So it's apparent why Vince had the troubles that he did. Years later, history repeated itself and RG3 went through the exact same shit!! No QB should have the contention with his coach. What white QB that you know of didn't want to draft him but was forced to by the owner??? I'm proud of what Vince said in this interview. Keep the truth in your mouth VY, I'm proud of you man.
Jeff Fisher was to Vince Young what Barry Switzer was to Marcus Dupree. They were both excellent players that ended up on the wrong teams with the wrong coaches.
Fischer intentionally tanked Young's career over an ego power play, did Steve McNair dirty towards the end and nearly destroyed Jared Goff's career before it could even get started...dude is straight up poison
Tennessee was a really bad fit for VY, Nashville is like a small town where everybody is going to gossip about you and know your bidness. Plus, Fisher was there too long and lost his edge.
That's what I was thinking. Good him brand wasn't a business but ego I feel. But maybe he meant trying to sell certain products or get paid for endorsements
7:00 you absolutely did earn enough respect for them to not give you a middle man. you were a very nice qb that could have had way more success. i agree
Hey Vince get in shape and give yourself a last hurrah. If Michael Vick can have 4 or 5 comebacks, why can't you? Cleveland could really use a big quarterback right now.
yea fam, you have to pick your battles wisely. I lost my job speaking up for the truth (which i dont regret) but I did have a son to feed. So just how this bitch as world is! Although I do feel you though lol
I’ve always feel bad for Vince Young. Him winning those championships in college and NFL coach purposely trying to tear down his credibility in him and his talent, he was clearly the best quarterback that the Titans had and he’s better than the ones that they have now but they feel stronger about tearing him down and showing him who’s the Boss means more than the game. Receipt with the refereeing the call on replay for plain as day but they still won’t corrected it Exercising near authority before the world is moe important than a game Being played properly
He was ok his rookie year cus Norm Chow was the offensive coordinator, and he didnt force Young to change, he had a gameplan that maximized Youngs strengths. But Chow was gone after Youngs rookie season, and thats when they started to didnt utilize Young well
Still part of one of the best NCAAF championship games ever
no doubt.
im still mad Reggie Bush tried that lateral!!
agree
DrGanja99 Man I was at that game against USC of course I'm a USC fan but to watch this dude ball was incredible.

@DANIEL MOLLOY He has a career record of 178-171-1

Well it helps when you've been coaching for 20+ years (the most losses part)
yah....especially if you lose a lot.
NewWaveFan1 at least dan reeves went to 4 super bowls with 2 teams so his losses not as bad
Look at Marvel Williams Cincinnati still got him around and they still lose

How did he blackball McNair he went ravens that's not being blackballed . If ravens cut McNair then that is the ravens choice. Stop with the victim crybaby shit . How do u know what goes on behind NFL front office doors ? U dont u would have no way too.

maybe if he said "reputation" you would look at it differently? Funny how people that think a certain way find anything to nitpick

sure did!! i thought they would keep him

I thought he won the backup job. They cut one guy and left VY. Then they cut HIM and picked another guy basically off the streets. Fucked up situation but we don't know what happened bts. I believe that's why he said it have to be some guaranteed contract due to that.
gary morseau II So true!
Hell hes better off. He left a multi millionaire and not all crippled up.
Seems like he already won the superbowl.
Moron went bankrupt
@@rexgamewell national championship. Just as good.
He is pretty much broke bro.
Lol "just as good". One of the best jokes I've heard in awhile. Preeshiate it.
wow, great interview Graham! I like your style my man
+Kie Coleman Thanks, Kie!
I'm just glad we got coach Mike Vrabel now!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man no idea you were a Tennessee fan that’s awesome!God bless!
@@c1berserker744 Yup, love the Titans! Gonna be tough against Ravens this weekend!
the late great Steve McNair, Eddie George,Derrick Mason, Samari Rolle,kevin carter and Vince Young is the reason that bum fisher lasted this long
Yep.... The hole org was screwed bcuz of Bum. A good owner wouldve sat the 2 down & chewed some a$$ & then said hug each other & lets go win. If they couldnt then let 1 of em go! Btw... VY was better than SMcnare... fisher just couldnt c it.
@@jaredflanagan5951 ..he was better than Steve Mcnair
Miss those teams. Was in Tennessee when McNair was killed too smh
Yo I’m a niners fan but back in the day I was a half ass titans fan I loved Air McNair and Eddie George Jevon Kearse Frank Wycheck. They were fun team to root for!
He wasn't better than McNair
The NFL is so full of themselves, they don't even know how to get out of their own way. Vince Young, like a few others are superior talents in many way, but were largely, mishandled by desperate, unwise, coaches and organizations who pander to the media.
What Vince says is accurate. But, what he did not get is very very important. You have to deal with people where they are. And be wise enough to know how to play the game to get what you want. The coaches often don't know what they are doing: WHY, because MOST of the got there via the old boy network and that is how this horrible system has been maintained over the years as they get off by wasting and mismanaging the very young talent that they were hired to develop.
Its always THE MAN....THE MAN........always be holdin da black man down!!!!!!
He’s got no one to blame but himself EVERY team had to have a qb and these “kids” come out thinking they are bigger than the game and the truth is they’re not even close just like any job you can come out of college with a better degree than your boss but that doesn’t mean you become the boss stfu and do your job “make your bones” and show them you respect the game especially to those old school coaches then once you’ve done that,then you can voice an opinion just another big mouth know it all kid and no one likes them in any walk of life
I hope Vince shares this advice with all young players today!!!!
So what he's saying is, "It's not my fault."
He's trying not to tell his personal info to some rando reporter and millions of people across the world
@George Garvey Most single mothers I've known have required their children to perform and be good citizens. Of course all single mothers are not the same: there are widows, unwed mothers, drug addicted mothers, mothers working two jobs, etc.
@spanish rampage I think you are correct.
He admitted in this interview he isnt a hard worker he said I would love to go to war to prove he was a hard worker but basically said he didn't want to put the work into proving it and it would be to hard and that he was actually tired of trying to prove it. That's the definition of not being a hard worker.
Also, sometimes it's a big shock for a high school or college star to get into the NFL and find out that he's just mediocre compared to all the other superior NFL players.
@Steevy Horton I've watched high school, college, and NFL (films only) players working out. Their workouts would drive regular people into total exhaustion.
He overestimated his value and acted out. As a result he didnt work as hard as he could. Didn't want to take a back seat and lost millions. The league is always bigger than any player.
Graham, you do great interviews man! I don't know how you get the opportunity to talk to all these guys, but i can't imagine your channel not blowing up very soon!
Is he from ESPN or another major sports network? He really is great!
Hey Vince, Thank you for Winning Austin, Texas and College Fandom A Superb Championship Memory! Forever Young!
Look at Fisher now.....most loosing coach of "ALL TIME" in the NFL and lost his job! He got what was coming.
Rowell LeFrancios Jr. Losing*
he's a shitty coach and young was a shitty nfl qb who pissed away all his money. he's still delusional talking abotu what he did in hs and college thinking that automatically translates to the nfl
Losing
Damn. Google says his current net worth is 25$ Million. If so, don't feel sorry for him, he is doing just fine.
That essential how much money he made. he blew all that money
Dj Akademiks Son
he owns a couple steakhouses in Texas. VY is doing good for himself.
Denard James it is different If he looks like he is still able to play plus keeping his legacy going and getting bigger pay checks. I’m surprised and VY went, he was interesting to watch on the field.
He's got a plush job at UT Austin now, earning over 100k annually. So he ain't hurting.. lol
Much respect Vince. Way to step up and Mature!! Thats why you are still a baller to this day.
Best way to have your brand famous is to play at a better level which takes hard work and consistent play if you’re wearied about your brand it takes away from your play
I finally figured it out Mister Vince Young, you was just too good, because I'm from Nashville so I watched your career and I saw you have a great rookie season and you had about to maybe 3 wishi-washi Seasons where I could see that you were learning. And you were at a peak when everything went sour, but with everything you had going, you could have been really great and I guess not to be prejudiced on my end, but those old white guys could see your greatness, and didn't want you to outshine a lot of the guys that are famous now. You could have been like Michael Jordan, but it's okay, keep living your life it hasn't been bad, many other men would trade their life for what you had and have. I like you hints keep doing good.
Mr3191980 What??? Yep blame it on Ole whitey!
Vince never smiles when he laughs lmao
lol wtf
he's dry
Pick that gray hair out of your facial hair
I followed Vince's high school and college career. He was a fierce competitor.
Good quality 1-on-1 interview with Vince Young. I know we've all heard of Vince Young's legendary spending habits. And him going broke. But honestly, I felt that he did not receive a fair share of having the opportunity to utilize his skills like other quarterbacks. And yes, I totally understand many that criticized his QB flaws. But he was definitely not alone in that department. I mean, certain QBs like Kerry Collins, Mark Brunnell , Vinny Testaverde and many others clearly had QB flaws. Yet they were able to stay in the NFL for well over a decade. Vince Young for whatever reasons simply did not last long in the league over a blow-up with his head coach. I mean, c'mon!! Vince Young was definitely not the first sports athlete to lock horns with his head coach. Yet, he got screwed over badly. And Vince Young's mechanics were definitely not as bad as Tim Tebow. And despite that, I felt Tim Tebow at least deserved an opportunity too to play in the league. Too many QBs with the same skills and deficiencies were able to remain in the league. I guess the NFL has changed quite a bit. Even Matt Lienart, a horrible QB still remained in the league longer than Vince Young. I guess like Vince Young said, you must keep your mouth shut.
Jeff Fisher hates black qb's. Bud Adams wanted Vince Young. JF did the same thing to Steve McNair. He brought in Neil O'Donnell after McNair took JF to the Superbowl.
Do you get tired of limping through life on crutches or you going to continue to blame whitey?
@@dirthotch1982 a hit dog hollers.
#SeemsLegit you want me to buy you a pair for Christmas?
Lone -Star Customs that hit dog is screaming and scratching!!! Lol
I always wanted Vince Young to play for my Baltimore Ravens. he was a pretty good QB
Please, bring Vince Young back into the NFL because I think he has learned from the experience, and possibly has change into a better person from the experience.
Damon Wayans role in his Last Boyscout character was like some weird prequel to Vince Young's career.
Cleveland would probably take him
+T Schott hahahahah. good stuff right there.
We would be blessed lmao
@Alvaro Lopez yeah..the number one pick and future Hall of Famer Baker Mayfield.
Remember Jeff Fisher almost destroyed a young Jared Goff
SHAYDEE3 facts
Jared Goff sucks lol
I've been an Oiler/Titan fan since 1973, & I wanted VY to succeed so much. It boiled down to some poor game decisions/interceptions. This led to fans turning on him a bit with boos, etc. He couldn't handle it. Particularly the Jacksonville (?) game where he threw his shoulder pads into the crowd on the way out. smh Then he disappeared with his gun, sulking. He lost Fisher, and the fans for good, on that day. His career NEVER recovered.
Vince young just hired a new agent, hope he makes the ultimate comeback that would an awesome story.
My guess, he was f'ed over. He regrets shutting up like every other NFL'er and cashing the checks.
"My brand, my brand....." He still doesn't get it.
Exactly! He didn't even establish a "brand" yet!
What?!... The guy has had a brand since college ... Football is a business idiots
@@Megabeat30 you think winning in college is a brand lol
@@Megabeat30 Really? He is out of football, IDIOT
Big Ounce Yes, because that’s what gets you drafted to professional sports. That’s how players immediately sign endorsements deals and hire agents once they’re eligible. That’s why college stadiums are packed to see star players and colleges sell endless amounts of merchandise and high tv ratings. Even in college star athletes are building a brand and receive millions as soon as they turn pro.
Vince is top ten greatest college QB's ever. I miss seeing him play at texas. Boy is a campus legend.
No doubt, that championship game against USC was fucking epic.
Regret is part of growth.
Jeff Fischer ruined Sam Bradford’s career. And Sam was a Heisman Trophy winner
Sam Bradford should have no complaints. Hes made millions upon millions of dollars in his career to play one game a season and then get hurt
Fischer was a crappy coach. If you kissed his ass you were his guy. VY could have been a hall of famer if he went to an organization with better coaching. VY played the game like a chessmaster with the legs of a Baryshnikov.
Jeff Fisher ruined a lot of careers........................
@@cassiushay2488 shawn merriman comes to mind
Sam Bradford spent more time on the Injuries List than contributors list. Granted Bradford was a good potential player. But every Head Coach is two games away from the Unemployment Line of NFL Coaches. You can't piss around with a potential player. Players must put out and win games.
Vince is a lie, he is just being humble, before he is completely black balled. Jeff Fisher screwed him over. Dont understand Jeff fisher still not winning sorry azz coach. He made his living off talented teams that would have went further without him. David Carr got over 5 years to get it right Vince had to do it in 2 with Jeff fisher micro managing him.
Terry Howard Alex Smith had 7 years just to be a game manager.
They say, time will tell the truth. Well as it turns out Vince Young was right, period. Fisher almost ruined two Q.B. Named NICK FOLES AND JERRED GULFF.
Few players had that much talent but putting all that talent together on an NFL field is hard.
Sad story, man. Young had the tools to be a fantastic QB in the NFL
Yup that side arm was a thing of beauty.
Man i wanted the packers to sign him so bad.
Yep. Dude had it all.
'Brand' is codeword for narcissism
No, its codeword for "business". If you think the NFL is anything but a business, you don't have a clue.
Don’t worry Vince. This interview makes it pretty clear what kind of guy you are.
Been out of the league a decade and still can't accept responsibility for his actions.
Man you didn't even want to listen to him. He's talking about how he let his ego take control and he's explaining why his coach triggered that inside of him. You hear excuses I hear reasons.
Vince screwed Vince. Guy was a joke of a teammate by all accounts. Didn't work hard. Showed up late for team flights. Argued with Fisher- I'm not a fisher fan. He's a joke. You must work hard in the NFL and many teammates have written and said he didn't. Vince screwed Vince.
Legend in his own mind
Vince was reputed for missing practice, refusing to travel with the team and generally being insubordinate to his superiors. In the NFL, if you are winning or a team player, you are playing: no two ways about it.
Lol what? I've never heard that ever in all the mud thats been thrown at him
i miss you VY..Football would have been so much fun with you in it..
Vince again blamed everyone but himself, no lessons learned here. Fighting what media battle??? you should have shut up and played, running ur mouth again in this interview.
He a grown ass man
Speak when ever he like
He was a below average qb passing wise. Extremely limited outside of making plays with his legs.
michael jackson like Lamar Jackson lol
@@troythomison9804 the guy with a 92 passer rating completing 63% of his passes? Top 5 in the league in td passes? Crazy man take your meds.
michael jackson yes that Lamar Jackson fanboys are too much. Not a hold season yet. Wow, theses internet football fans are lol
Remember that time when half of the Steelers defense picked up Vince Young and slammed him on his head? If that tackle happened today the NFL would have suspended the entire Steelers organisation for the rest of the season.
Ron Froehlich I agree! I remember that game particularly the way Vince was lifted off his feet and BOOM..M
What brand? These mofos always think they got a brand now ....like play football n that WILL be your brand
YGAM LTD When he say brand he mean his name
@@jlemy1835 that's what he's saying.
@@jlemy1835 yeah bc a brand has a name "name brand " it's one n da same....thought you said something smart huh lol
Jon Captain Obvious 👌🏼👍🏼
He did have a brand, it was called “Help me blow 70 million in 5 years!”....
At 4:05 when he says nothing's changed, he's absolutely right. All you hear is I, I, I, me, me, me. Keep it up dude!!!
If there was a Heisman trophy for being stupid Vince Young certainly deserves it
I disagree, Vince was a great player period. Jeff didn't want him as his QB. NFL is a business, so you re a coach help this spectacular football player advance. Let him take you to the Super Bowl like he could have. Men have a pride about them that shouldn't be rubbed the wrong way. This guy was a beast that wasn't allowed to be great. Not the first time.
Dude made a 6 on the NFL wunderlic test. :(
@Roderick Harper Look at where Fitzpatrick is now financially in life and where Young is. It's no contest.
@Roderick Harper He made 34 million yet filed bankruptcy and is millions in debt. He's an idiot. Incredible talent...but an idiot.
Vince Young is an amazing quarterback who has proven himself on all levels of football (highschool, college and professional) .. tip my hat to you my man
He was amazingly atrocious as an nfl qb
I'm 36 and was a kid more or less when he was at Texas and that championship game was the greatest game by a single player I ever saw to this day
32 years old and still don't get it...hey bro everybody got a boss,,and it best not to cuss them out and maybe show some respect to some one who's been down the road you were just trying to get started on..and oh don't throw your helmet and shoulder pads into the stands ...
how can you please a guy that doesnt like you boss or not ?
Jeff Fisher has coached longer than anybody but hasn't developed any talent so don't feel bad VY.
Jeff Fisher nearly ruined Goff's career too. Imagine a Sean McVay-esque mind tailoring an offense for Vince.
The title is very misleading because what I understand Vince to say is that if he would not have trusted Fisher, he would have been alright. Let's pause and take a step back and remember that it was the owner that wanted Vince and not Fisher. So it's plainly obvious why they bumped heads. Look at what Fisher did to McNair and this was the man who took him within a couple of inches of winning the Superbowl. So it's apparent why Vince had the troubles that he did. Years later, history repeated itself and RG3 went through the exact same shit!! No QB should have the contention with his coach. What white QB that you know of didn't want to draft him but was forced to by the owner??? I'm proud of what Vince said in this interview. Keep the truth in your mouth VY, I'm proud of you man.
Jeff Fisher was to Vince Young what Barry Switzer was to Marcus Dupree.
They were both excellent players that ended up on the wrong teams with the wrong coaches.
Fischer intentionally tanked Young's career over an ego power play, did Steve McNair dirty towards the end and nearly destroyed Jared Goff's career before it could even get started...dude is straight up poison
Tennessee was a really bad fit for VY, Nashville is like a small town where everybody is going to gossip about you and know your bidness. Plus, Fisher was there too long and lost his edge.
Just found you yesterday... subscribed today... Salute
Vince definitely contributed to him having a shorter career then he should have.
What’s this “brand” thing?
And why keep bringing it up?
Dudes getting paid to play fb
Hit the jackpot
when he's referring to HIS brand he's talking about his ego. figure it out man
That's what I was thinking. Good him brand wasn't a business but ego I feel. But maybe he meant trying to sell certain products or get paid for endorsements
7:00 you absolutely did earn enough respect for them to not give you a middle man. you were a very nice qb that could have had way more success. i agree
Always remember. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
The amount of talent this guy threw in the trash can is massive.
Wish Vince had gone to the Rams BF: Before Fisher.
I'll always love VY for being a beast on Madden 08. First down all day
Yeah! Vince still should be playing
Hey Vince get in shape and give yourself a last hurrah.
If Michael Vick can have 4 or 5 comebacks, why can't you?
Cleveland could really use a big quarterback right now.
because vince sucks badly never was any good
Don't never regret for opening your mouth I'm speaking facts
Mike Hardin Nope. Dumb advice. Can't you see how it screwed Vince???
The better advice? Pick your spots to open your mouth.
Bob Jones well said. you can't just go flapping you gums in every situation!
drkdze Yup. I learned the hard way my friend to pick my spots
drkdze mainly because I got horrible advice like this guy is trying to give out hahaha
yea fam, you have to pick your battles wisely. I lost my job speaking up for the truth (which i dont regret) but I did have a son to feed. So just how this bitch as world is! Although I do feel you though lol
I’ve always feel bad for Vince Young. Him winning those championships in college and NFL coach purposely trying to tear down his credibility in him and his talent, he was clearly the best quarterback that the Titans had and he’s better than the ones that they have now but they feel stronger about tearing him down and showing him who’s the Boss means more than the game. Receipt with the refereeing the call on replay for plain as day but they still won’t corrected it Exercising near authority before the world is moe important than a game Being played properly
He was ok his rookie year cus Norm Chow was the offensive coordinator, and he didnt force Young to change, he had a gameplan that maximized Youngs strengths. But Chow was gone after Youngs rookie season, and thats when they started to didnt utilize Young well
Should have waited it out, played out his contract and sign a FAT deal with another team.
