Should Vince Young Retire?
September 13th 2008 02:12
Little did we know that Vince Young’s troubles are more than just a football injury. Things bothering him apparently escalated into the Titans asking for the Police to find him. A man with issues and a gun who could have made a tragic mistake and ended his life.
Pressure can be a terrible thing and Vince Young has loads of it applied, and not just from outside sources. His natural talent has always prevailed and now he is having to learn to be a complete player. I am sure he has more things on his mind than just football but I will write about football since that is what this site is about.
This guy has met the president of the United States because of his talents as a football player. He has been told how wonderful he was most of his life. Now he is known as an amazing athlete who happens to play quarterback. I am sure he wants to be known as a complete player not just a glorified running back.
As mentioned here on footballdogz.com earlier, he was learning a new offensive system. New coordinators and young quarterbacks don’t mix. It slows their growth and pretty much makes them a rookie again, learning the new plays and terminology.
Even before his injury last week Young didn’t even want to play. I hope he uses his time off to heal both his body and mind. And if football is still overwhelming, he should walk away. Anything not helping him get rid of suicidal thoughts shouldn’t be a part of his life. Maybe he can take the rest of the season off and come back fresh. Or just retire period and go on with the living of his life. No matter what happens I know I will be pulling for Vince Young to get better.
