H Town I thought he was too fat in the later years when he was in the NFL. look at how slim he was at Texas.
I was at the first Tittans vs Texans game that went to OT and on that last run I was half way the rows up from where I was sitting before he scored, I could see what was going to happen and I bailed so F'in fast..
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19750735/vince-young-questions-why-ryan-fitzpatrick-job Vince Young wonders why Ryan Fitzpatrick playing but not him 12:16 PM CT TAMPA, Fla. -- Former NFL quarterback Vince Young took a shot at Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup Ryan Fitzpatrick when questioning why some quarterbacks have continued to get opportunities in the NFL and he hasn't. "I'd see a quarterback and be like, 'Dude is garbage, and I'm over here in the kitchen cooking turkey necks!?'" Young told Sports Illustrated. "I hate to name-drop, but [Ryan] Fitzpatrick is still playing!? He leads the league in interceptions, and he's still f------ getting paid? I mean, what the f--- is going on?" Fitzpatrick's 17 interceptions last season for the New York Jets were actually third-most in the league, behind Philip Rivers (21) and new Bucs teammate Jameis Winston (18). Fitzpatrick threw an NFL-high 23 interceptions for the Buffalo Bills in 2011. Cleveland Browns; he was released less than two weeks later, after they drafted Johnny Manziel. Young announced his retirement the next month, having thrown 46 touchdown passes and 51 interceptions during his NFL career. Young led the Texas Longhorns to a BCS National Championship and was the third overall pick of the Tennessee Titans in the 2006 NFL draft. He was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and reached the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2009, but he struggled to maintain that level of success. His last regular-season action came in a six-game stint with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. Besides the Browns, he has had offseason looks from Buffalo and the Green Bay Packers. He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2014. Young also told Sports Illustrated that his former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher took all the fun out of football. "I'm going to expose his ass," Young said. Young described an incident in which he was left behind on a road trip to Philadelphia after he left his ID at home and went to retrieve it. "I feel like Fisher did that s--- on purpose," Young said, adding that Fisher had held the plane for other players in the past. "I'm pulling in, seeing them pull the door down. I can hear the team yelling." Young later told Fisher, "Where I'm from, that's like saying F you."
It's weird that he'd be calling out people like Fitz when he can't even make it in the CFL. I think he needs to come to terms with the fact that he was terrible in the NFL and it was no one else's fault. No one mistreated him, he was just an idiot and it caused his talent to go to waste.
fitz wouldnt make the cfl either established white qbs dont like being backed up by black qbs, you saw what happened with alex smith/kapeernick and matt flynn/ russell wilson hell even romo/ prescott
Kind of a weird comment being that Fitz has made it and continues to make it in the NFL. Honestly this has nothing to do with race, it has everything to do with Vince Young being a mental midget and that leading to him pissing away whatever talent he might have had. He had numerous chances and failed every single time....even in the CFL.
Oh I've come to terms with the fact that they decided to give him the award despite his awful performance where he threw more picks than TD passes and fumbled the ball more than he ran the ball for a TD while having a Tebowesque completion percentage of 51.5%. Of course that doesn't mean he was good, it has more to do with hype and the fact that no rookie on offense really stepped up although they really should have given the award to Maurice Jones-Drew over Vince Young but back then the "justwinz" argument won the day.
