To Vince Young, If You Want Your Job Back Go Take It Back

So Vince Young wants his starting job back. I can't fault him for that. Nobody should be happy being a back-up. Anybody who is doesn't belong in Pro Sports.

What I have a problem with is his attitude about it. He says "I am ready to play again and they may not be ready for me to play again." Therefore, he gives the ultimatum of playing him or he wants out. Where does his sense of entitlement come from? It was he not the Titans who messed up.

Kerry Collins stepped in and had a great year. He led them deep into the playoffs. Does Young expect the Titans to just give the job back to him? Wow! That is out there.

Now to be fair, I am not sure that it is fair to just give the job to Kerry Collins either though. Although he was good last year his career has been a roller coaster ride. I think the two of them should battle it out in camp.

The second part of Young's comments were about asking for a trade. Looking around the league I don't think teams will exactly be lining up. Washington seems to look for any reason to unload Campbell. San Francisco may be an option. Other than that, I can't think of one other team that improves at quarterback by acquiring Young.

Instead of sounding like another crybaby prima donna, this is what Young should have said in a bold and tough voice:

I SCREWED UP! I HAD THE STARTING JOB AND I LOST IT. I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING  KERRY DID LAST YEAR, BUT NOW I AM BACK. I WANT IT BACK AND I WILL TAKE IT BACK. I LIKE KERRY HE IS MY FRIEND, BUT WHEN WE GET TO CAMP I WILL KICK HIS BUTT FROM ONE END OF NASHVILLE TO THE OTHER.

That is the kind of fire a quarterback needs to be a leader of men.
