The Twins say, "Vince Young is INDEFENSIBLE!"

Yvette: I have been a big defender of Vince Young in the last five years, and totally believed that he would come around and turn out to be a Mike Vick like talent once he matured and found out that he’s one of many talented people in the NFL.
But VY’s latest actions are indefensible.
(Tennessean article "Tennessee Titans lose game, possibly quarterback")

Yvonne: And it really is sad. Vince Young is a unique talent, with skills and instincts that most quarterbacks in the NFL simply do not have. This year he was doing rather well, which leads me to believe that it was his attitude, not his play, that lead to all of this.

Yvette: I am CERTAIN there are more parts to the Vince Young saga than people realize. I have so many questions about how Jeff Fisher has handled him over the years and his part in the implosion of their relationship. But there is a pattern of immaturity and lack of leadership qualities that makes it hard to stay on Vince’s side.

I do believe that Fisher has not been the biggest advocate of VY, to say the least.

Yvonne: I think that is crystal clear. Again, it cannot be his play, but more likely due to his attitude. We are not privy to the Titans locker room and those conversations in it, but just seeing what I see from VY, he does come off as arrogant and aloof and it makes it difficult to root for him. If that is how he is at all times, then I can see why Fisher has difficulty advocating for him.

Still, it’s difficult to believe that VY is the only talented-but-difficult QB to ever put on the pads. This situation was handled poorly by Jeff Fisher, who I suspect let too much of his ego get involved (a la the Childress situation in Minnesota).

The fact of the matter is, when given the chance, VY wins games, and that is what you want your QB to do. Period. If he didn’t do that, all of Fisher’s actions up to this point would make sense.

Yvette: Last year, should have been the first indicator that he had NO CONFIDENCE in Vince Young. The Titans went 0-6 before Fisher elected to start Vince again.

Yvonne: That was baffling, and it probably cost the Titans a payoff run; again, an ego trip on Fisher’s part.

Yvette: Another indicator was this year, with the mid-game benching against the Steelers.

Yvonne: Which, again, made no sense. Even when Vince doesn’t play particularly well, he keeps the Titans in the game. Sorry, Kerry Collins can’t do that; again, ego.

Yvette: A recent incident was the game against the Miami Dolphins, where an injured Kerry Collins was given the start over a comparatively healthier VY. The evidence was mounting…Fisher doesn’t believe in VY.

Yvonne: Look, I know how it is. I hate giving egomaniacs any opportunity to further inflate their gianormous heads. But the fact of the matter is, VY is a winning QB, with the numbers to prove it. Was his attitude a problem, who knows? But in the games that he played he ALWAYS gave the Titans and opportunity to win in the in end. And for me, as a fan, that is all that matters.

Yvette: Sunday was the latest incident further indicating Jeff Fisher didn’t believe in Vince.

Yvonne and I sat 11 rows back on the 50 yard line after Vince got hurt. I saw WITH MY ON EYES he and Randy passing the ball back and forth. He the put his helmet on and stood next to the coaches as if he was waiting to get put back in. After a discussion with a coach, his helmet came off and a he put his cap back on out of frustration. So just my observation, it was crystal clear, Vince was ready to go back in. Vince was not allowed to come into the game again.

Now whether he told Fisher he wanted to play, I think it’s just the coach saving face.

He clearly wanted to play.

Yvonne: That was clear to me too. Fisher said, he was waiting for him to say he was ready. Really? And why? Ego.

Yvette: With all that said, Vince didn’t help matters with his behavior after the game.

Yvonne: Right. I can’t defend his antics. Whether or not it was out of frustration, VY is a 5 year vet of the NFL now. He should be beyond that.

Yvette: Instead of asking the question:” Did Fisher's vendetta against Vince Young lose the game for the Titans?”, we a talking about the arrested development of Vince Young.

Yvonne: It is the coaches’ job to manage all of his players and their personality flaws and issues. And I will debate all day that Jeff Fisher mishandled Vince Young. Even, if Vince was to blame most times.

Yvette: But the latest incident of immaturity and lack of leadership, I can not defend.
Vince Young put the period at the end of his career with the Titans. He will not be back.
