NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans quarterback Vince Young insists he never wavered in his commitment to football. All that concern over his mental state? He says he was upset as he dealt with his first serious injury, and he didn't realize he had to tell his mother where he was going anymore. Then the media went overboard. Young spoke publicly Thursday for the first time since Titans coach Jeff Fisher called police for help in locating the quarterback Monday night because of concerns over his emotional well-being. His mother, Felicia Young, also told a local newspaper that the quarterback had indicated he didn't want to play football anymore because of all the negativity he faced. "I was never depressed," Young said. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3582345
I don't buy that he is still committed. When your coach has to convince you to go back in a game, that is a sign of a major mental weakness. I don't think he'll be "successful" in this league much longer.
I'm not sure I'd say Young is overrated. I think most people think pretty poorly of Vince Young, outside of Tennessee.
I've never given Young a second thought as an NFL QB because I didn't expect him to be good. For me, he is frozen in time like this
