Man, Vince Young's career really took a nosedive.  He was a good QB in Tennessee, but after Fisher left, his career fell apart

 

And the thing is, I'm not sure why. After Tennessee, he had a solid showing as a backup at Greenbay in their preseason. People were saying he was one of the better backups in preseason, stat-wise. I think there's something more to it, like personality issues.

I wouldn't say he was exceptional, but he could get you wins

 

Kerry Collins could win games with that Tennessee team back then. It's a matter of perspective. Even in his rookie of the year campaign his numbers weren't good.

Yup, I haven't seen a QB regress this far this fast since Tim Tebow in Denver following that playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers & his forgettable season in the BIG Apple.

We should have an entire section called LOLBROWNS dedicated to topics like this, cause it's going to be a long train ride of hilarious wrecks and bruises and tragedies for the poor poor Brownies.

I will be honest Bogie. I did laugh at this initially because it is true, but I can't slam a team that has been cursed for so long either. It's like laughing at how somebody falls down. It's okay as long as you don't take too much pleasure in their NFL misfortunes.

 

I know; I know this coming from SW1 who loves to watch the Dallas Cowboys unravel & fall flat on their face missing the playoffs yet again is more than a bit hypocritical & disingenuous on my part I realize that.  I guess I feel sympathy for the Browns because their team has been so irrelevant for so long they are almost a caricature of NFL inadequacy now, their roster is getting better talent wise, & the NFL HOF is located in Canton, Ohio. That last point is odd to me because you don't typically associate a HOF elite fraternity with a lackluster Browns team host city. That's like hosting an earth day international summit on the chernobyl disaster site.

Fisher tried just about everything he could think of to get Young's mind into the game. Young was past the point of help. I kind of always thought that Young had some emotional problems.

Everything I've heard is that he's just not able to digest a NFL playbook.  

 

His stats seem to me to that of someone who could at least land a stable backup job someplace.  But there apparently isn't much there in the head.

I wouldn't call Tebow a regression.  If you didn't buy into the Timmy Tim Tim hypetrain during his peak and actually watched him play an entire game instead of just half of the 4th quarter of a few games, you wouldn't have even really called him a quality backup prospect.  With the circus that follows the guy it's really no surprise he's announcing college games these days instead of occupying a roster spot.

 

Vince had a little more potential but it's been known for some time that his head just wasn't in it during his key developmental years.  No QB recovers easily from squandering that new-to-the-NFL grace period, especially when they've developed a reputation for being an unreliable presence off the field.

He is mentally unstable remember he refused to go back into a game because he was being booed then he had the suicide thing when he had mentioned to his therapist he was going to kill himself numerous times he left with a gun and was missing for a few days back in 08 or 09 couldn't handle the pressure went things went bad

 

He has real mental health problems I believe.

      - even when we kick their rear, Knicks fans can't accept it. They will soon be home for the season, if we win Game 5, it is over because we haven't lost a game here since March  .

      @DEColtsLover36, Happy Mother's Day. I am at moms now, been here all day. I bought her a nice bottle of Wine and I grilled us out 2 Ribeye steaks she had in the freezer. I did the cooking, it was great. A little Garlic Powder and a tenderizer and you are good. She cooked her Baked Potato because she likes it a certain a way. I cooked mine and smothered it in butter  . She doesn't even follow basketball that much but was entertained watching the Pacers today the way they were making shots and running. It looked like the Showtime Lakers.

      Normally when 2 teams are pretty even, in the 1st 4 games it ends up 2-2. You usually have each team win a close one and each team win big. So far that is what had happened. The difference here is, we are healthier and have the deeper team. Even when we were down 0-2, I wasn't panicking, see my posts above . Once we pulled out Game 3, I knew we would win today. Teams that fall down 0-2 in NBA history lose 90% of the time but this felt different. I just looked at the NBA TV network odds and the Knicks are favored to still win the series 53% now to our 47%, it's close. It is only because they have HCA. Had the Knicks won today and went up 3-1, they would have been 92% favorites. 92% down to 53%, WOW!
