Vince Young's family seems awesome and very supportive
Kind of hard to feel bad for a guy that made more money than everyone in comments section combined and pissed it away. Fucked up there are people making 25-30k a year that are better with their money.
Houston should have drafted him. I'm sure he would have had a much better career. A lot of times players like Young don't work out because of the situation they are drafted in. If Tom Brady were to get drafted by the Browns I'm sure he would have never even made it to his 5th season.
MikeBNumba6 Tom Brady is a bad example, he would have been good where ever he landed, it just would have taken him longer, the thing that makes tom Brady tom Brady is why he would have had success any where and the pats were the browns. A better example is Dak or Russell Wilson
SuperJohn12354 Tom Brady is a good example. Tom would have probably would have never started if Drew Bledsoe didn't get hurt. Tom easily could have been a career back up. Not to mention the first super bowl run he had, he had a lot of help from his defense.
I feel the same way. Especially when I look at careers of guys like Tim Couch, Ricky Williams, Mike Williams (USC-WR) and soo many others.
MikeBNumba6 you're SURE? Don't give him that much credit. He failed himself, his discipline was his problem.
Brining him home would caused more problems. Look at what going home did to so many stars. To say a undisciplined man will be the exception is a reach.
If teams had issues connected to your last name own it, till this day he's running from it, that why he never got another chance.
MikeBNumba6 Playing at home is not for everyone. I'm from Houston and Vince playing there might been a mistake off the field. Having family and friends in his ear and pockets would have broken him a lot faster
Respect To Vince Young,Texas Longhorn The G.O.A.T.
darrell cook longhorn legend forever \m/
Vince Young's career was a success. Bump what you heard. Watched him since he was in high school. He achieved a lot, and left the NFL as a winner. PERIOD.
Us Titan fans are upset he didn't go to Houston Texans as well.
Next Level Sports the titans have fans
I like how his family and pastor blame everyone else for Young's lack of NFL success except Vince himself.
good luck from a eagles fan .
The common thread with Vince and Ricky Williams is that, aside being from the same university, they had the talent to take over a game and win single-handedly. All they needed was a system that would allow them to. Let them be themselves and do their thing. Coaches though have a set system that players can follow, or leave. Thats a flaw in the NFL.
He's been released since this segment aired SMH the NFL is one big fraternity so it doesnt always boil down to skill, The Same people that can build you up can also bring you down. Its the ugly side of the business. Thats why its important to Save up your money while you got it because theres no guarantee what can happen.
He was released because he tore his hamstring. Sometimes luck just isn't on your side.
he has the same problem ll NFL qb busts have lack of self awareness not lack of talent
Holycow 8498 he lacks talent too
Vince was unlucky at the Titans, had plenty of good moments and Jeff Fisher is just a straight up shit coach. But beyond that, his performances were shit. Once he left the Titans, he did not show performances worthy of an NFL quaterback. And his blame of everyone else on here shows a complete disconnect with reality
I completely agree. Its honestly somewhat sad to see him blame his problems on everyone else in his life, and his family supporting him in thinking that way. They are enabling his irresponsibility
Greatest college football player ever.
Check his stats!
He lead an offense that set the record for the most points scored.
yeah vince and foster and Andre Johnson wow what a offense that could have been
It's sad when a person keeps blaming others for their lost opportunities. I could see VY blaming the situation once for his problems, but he played for like six teams. Not a single one of them were right in their assessment of him? And now the team in Canada that cut him? The problem isn't only him, it's his family not stepping up and telling him that he needs to change to succeed as an NFL player. They all just agreed and supported his excuses, and that's why he blames everyone for his problems. This should be a cautionary tale to anyone that wants to make it, focus on yourself and don't blame others as it will not lead to anywhere good.
the problem is that he sucks at QB....i never thought he was much good and i cant see how any team drafted him....the newspapers love to blow up a black QB....even when they suck ass....so all these jerk off teams can keep on drafting the vince youngs, michael vicks, rg III's , tyrod taylors, jacarcass russells ect ect , but the mannings, bradys, rodgers and brees' will keep winning super bowls....call me racist all you want(youre right), but ignoring the facts do not change the facts
@@jamesvangurpan1959 Only Brady keeps winning super bowls all qb you have name were pro bowl level qb at one time.
robert salley ....i meant those type of qb's and by the way brady will not win any more superbowls
@@jamesvangurpan1959 I dont know what you mean. There have been some great black QBs. You dont have to win a super bowl to be a great qb. Does Warren moon, Doug Williams or randell Cunningham ring a bell? There stats will speak for themselves. A couple have won the superbowl anyway so your theory doesnt hold up. Qb is mainly dominated by white players so it is a lot more common to see a white one win but that is changing. Just go watch Patrick mahomes he is black and will most likely go down as an all time great. It's not 1950 anymore grandpa.
@@cade579 ..lets see how long mahomes lasts....he will be selling insurance in three years..
I believe he thought that he didn't need to improve when he enter the NFL , I follow his career in the Titans and I can honestly remember one game that he show courage and commitment , the rest was like he felt he knew it all , his throwing motion was off, he didn't learn from his mistakes and in the end that cost him.
Missing fathers! Men raise your sons and daughters for Gods sake!
Family always got your back, but fact remains if you're disciplined and you have talent you will prosper.
He failed himself.
Torence Jones I just get a hanger-on feeling from all of them sitting there laughing but him overhelping probably contributed to his stress
If anyone wants to know. He got injured before preseason started and the Roughriders released him
Vince is his own worst enemy. Not Jeff Fisher. For him to say Jeff set him up to fail is like wanting the pilot flying the airplane you're on to crash.. makes no sense. Vince was late to meetings, practices and team flights. Vince didn't study film and his playbook. That's all on Vince
polotrey all a lie . Players and years of background recording and locker room every single game its a hoax media perpetuaded thru mean nashville actually fisher fucked for years
Players interviews on spot even right when he "stormed out " u know the context? Everyone agreed vy was ok he not immoral or weak etc at all. Opposite. Wanted to stay in game week 8 vs other top in division playoff rank team for a crucial tie breaker and home playoff and a buy lead in playoffs. Vince was proven starter after he came off bench again to save fisher and kerry after went 6-0 badly without "little baby vince from 1st game 2008 hoax he hurt knee and fisher lied to media etc which pushed hoax.. "sources say VINCE YOUNG was frustrated when docs checking if knee ok to play in big first game of season vs jags.. fans bood lil at vy and team cause boring game both teams were rusty offense super strong fresh on defense. It was bright hot day hot Jacksonville. Ps also season before is playoff soph season.. rookie kfc loses first 4. Vince loses wins L W L W W W W W L W L W L
Blame. Blame.... Blame. C'mon now..
Just like LenDale White blaming Pete Carroll for losing the Rose Bowl
VY has been taking responsibility for everything that's happened in his career from day one - since the fall out. Too much so, in my opinion. Fischer was a piece of chit, who stabbed him in the back. Watched it all with my own eyes. I don't know where you saw "blaming" in this piece.
totally and he surrounds himself with people that tell him it's someone else's fault
@Danny Branderson Ur a loser who hasn't accomplished anything close to what vy has lol
robert salley...typical response from someone that thinks black can play a position that they were never meant to play...they are species never know for intelligence or good decision making..you need both to play qb in the nfl....this imbecile truly exemplifies how pathetically stupid they are...people like you(liberal fucktards) cant face the truth...even when its proven with tests.....
Unfortunately that was a huge draft class that year of 06' and all those guys pretty much went down the shitter, it wasn't just Vince young. None of those guys who were such huge stars in college ever amounted to much in the NFL
As a black male in America you better prepare yourself for the political part of the process, when you let your credit get bad, you opened yourself up to allowing them all in your business.
The NFL is not Austin Texas and Vince never realized that. He did whatever he wanted on n off campus but you'll never hear about that. Had most of his school work either done for him or just given a passing grade. Very sad because he could have been one of the greats but he did it to himself.
What happened to him? Someone explain please!
Well, I hope he makes good on this last opportunity... aaaaand it's gone.
If his hamstring fully heals. The RoughRiders or another team will give him a shot once again. The CFL ain't a bad place to play in. Other NFL's unwanted should it a try like Manziel, Tebow, RGIII and Kaepernick
You will never get me to say that Vince young was a bust, Evan though his stats aren't the greatest he wasn't given enough chances to succeed because his coach in Tennessee hated him and there wasn't enough talent for him in philly but other awful qb get loads of chances like mark Sanchez, Ryan Fitzpatrick. The nfl is can just be horsh()t
HAZZARD why because he knows how to read defenses and move in the pocket? He isn't very good but he can help younger qb's learn and can actually learn a playbook and step into a game at any moment.
EZRA SCOTT Brock assweiler too
dudes played for like 4 or 5 teams and was lazy and uncommitted. great talent but didnt care about the game
I feel bad for the guy. He really was projected to have amazing career. With that said, only the people that worked close by know the real story between him and fisher.
I always wanted my Buffalo bills to give you a shot I was so mad at them for not letting you rip shit off Vince would have taken them to the playoffs well in my opinion
He saved Jeff Fischer's job TWICE. Fischer stabbed him in the back. PERIOD.
Vince could've taken better advantage of his opportunity. But Fisher did sabotage his career to a degree.
I was 8 when he got drafted now I'm 20 where did 12 years go ????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Last Titans game- "Why my fans booin me"
The NFL wasted Leinart and Young, the NFL does not like certain types of guys. It's just how it is, Young could play and win, Leinart was a college football player for life unfortunately, he would have needed better development in AZ for that which they could not supply.
DREAM TEAM
To some degree if you fail in one place, it says you will fail in another. And it should be obvious to you why.
Ultimately, VY'S career was cut short because of his own mistakes and poor choices...but I'll always wonder that big What If? What if Houston drafted him. That didn't exactly have a successful QB anyway, so it's not like they had anything to risk. Vince is simply not a very smart dude but he was a winner and had football skills that can't be taught. I honestly think that if he has been in Houston, with his family near him he may have been smarter with many of his decisions. Also, I genuinely believe that Jeff Fisher wanted Vince to fail from day one. Fisher is a terrible coach, but he also did a terrible job of managing VY. The man would bench VY in the middle of games when the team was still able to win and had playoff potential. You never see any other coach do that. Then he'd start him again the next game as though nothing happened. That messes with your QB's mind and it messes with the rest of the teams confidence. That's the tough part about pro sports, if you boss hates you and you hate him....you can't just go somewhere else like most jobs. You have to just deal with it. At the end of the day, Vince simply wasn't mature enough to handle it.
Now, I never met this man personally, but my best people roll him with him daily. His reputation may be "up in the air" but I tell you what you what. Hes not going to tolerate abuse in the Lone Star State. Nor will we stand for "fakery" !
He single handedly put the Titans in the cellar for years because of his immature behavior. Fisher wasnt a great coach but he wasnt bad. Everything that happened to Vince was on him.
This guy had potential and was living the life and he blew all his money got in trouble with the law and is also pretty over weight for a professional football player
Sad thin is he never played in the cfl
it's weird to think the browns could of had him. there franchise would be so different if they had
the browns don't change, they just lose
If he didn’t get hurt he could’ve been something
Thatsad I didnt know that
If you don't want that player, why did they draft him? Titans front desk at that time had too many flaws. Jeff fish was a perfect example of hustling the owners with no skill... but with good coordinators like Sean Peyton he extort them like he is a good coach... I can't believe NFL owners bought the bullshit for decade.
Hey Vince
its called narcissism, if you ever heard a jeff fisher interview and you've lived through narc abuse you'd know
TALK ABOUT EET PASTAH! ......ugh
Vince Young; screwed Vince Young. He was a lazy, undisciplined, dummy.
You can get away with a lot of crap as a receiver or a running back, but the QB has to be the man. Vince Young has not appeared to be the man in the NFL. Rookie QBs who act like the coach is the problem are not mature enough to play QB in the NFL. Young did great at Texas. Too bad he didn't realize he needed to grow up to play in the NFL. Black culture might have something to do with his attitude and his family's attitude, but Ryan Leaf, Matt Leinart, and Art Schlichter are white as can be and couldn't grow up enough to make the pro grade either.
Everybodys fault but mine
it's a shame how TN did him. as a Redskins fan, i seem to see a similar route RG3 took as Vince. these teams have insurance policies in place to soften the blow in the case that these big gambles don't payoff, but the teams get trigger happy and cut the player before allowing them to rise back.
All bs
Great college football player, a joke in the nfl though
The NFL is all about the politics, just look a the Colin Kaepernicks' situation..... He's not on an NFL roster because of politics not his skill set....Vince was not wanted by Fisher the Owner of the Titans wanted Vince... Very few people succeed where they are not wanted....
who's not surprised about the fisher part?
Wahhhhhhhh
Wow the Pastor is an NFL expert now
he should have stayed in school, instead of going to the league early.
guarantee someone on here is going to bring up race smh
So I guess it's because he's black, not because he had a mental breakdown, not because he's not very skilled, it's just because he's black.
Actually he led Texas team 13-0 and spent several years in the NFL. That person has skills.
I blame jeff fisher .. I honestly don't know how he held a coaching job HEAD coach at that for so long.. total POS if you ask me
Lmao what? I didn't hear the word "black" once in this video
how you gonna blame. it on the organization when you was at fault too
The dominance of ignorant women in his life.Where is his father.
No Heart!
To bad Steve McNair could not give him one and a Brain to!
Waste of Great Physical talent!
Wow this family has a laundry list of excuses
first him now colin #no black QBs
Frank Rhodes Cam Newton
Danny Hacker Jameis Winston
Frank Rhodes Wilson
Lol nobody want to mention that there hasn't been a white cornerback since 2003 and that's Jason Sehorn.
Frank Rhodes oh get fucked. He's a head case that wasn't very skilled as a pro. I blame culture, yes that's right, culture. What do all these black QBs have in common. They all run around like mad men. I can see some HS coach in some inner city saying you got to be better than whitey, you got to be bigger and turn more heads and stand out. Truth is, all you need to do is study and watch film and run the plays. I don't think anyone in the league runs slower than Brady, but he stays in the pocket, makes his reads and delivers dimes. Rodgers moves around but still wants to make a throw and avoids abuse. Vick, RG3, they're all hurt from getting hit, they all ran shot gun ride and decide offense in college. Freakin check with me doesn't work, that just means the coach was reading the defense or the QB has to read 1 player only. Winston will win a trophy in Tampa, maybe Dak in Dallas. Young and Kap are terrible. At least Vick had arm talent and wanted to throw. When he ran it was because his line sucked. Just my opinions
