HAHAHAHA. Jeff Fisher is apparently an evil mastermind. omg. You don't know shit about football either. You think a QB having a meltdown and the team losing it's 1st string starting QB means nothing. Forgetting that the 2nd string QB doesn't have the timing and reps with the 1st string offense that a starter does. VY is a cancer to the team.
That would be an excellent point if you ignore the fact that VY came back from being the 2nd string QB multiple times and has the winning record to his name. If he can go from 2nd string reps and provide those results, either it isn't that big of a deal or he can be even better if his own coach would stop playing games and try to win football games.
You forget this idiot scored a 6 on the wonderlic test and had to retake it.
And scored, what, triple that upon retaking it? I don't remember, but it obviously has had zero impact on his ability to be one of the highest rated passers in the game while having one of the better W/L records as a starter. I guess I'm saying it is kind of a moot point.
I remember it and I saw the tape. Seemed minor and no charges were filed, just a citation and a $500 fine. Its not like he was murdering dogs or raping girls. If citations are the standard by which players should be cut from a team that is kind of tough.
You forget about the whol Suicide Ordeal.
His mothers words: Felicia Young said her son has grown weary of all the negativity he faces as an NFL star. On Monday, he indicated to those around him he didn't want to play football any more."
He left a house and his FAMILY called Jeff Fisher because they were worried he might do something. Jeff called the cops for fear of him.
VY said he just needed some time away from everyone, and Fisher was the one to involve the police and the media in it. Fisher has been working to break Young for sometime, and has sacrificed his team's success to prove his point, irrespective of any results on the field. He trumps up any story he can and plays the media like a fiddle. Meanwhile, VY says these things are all blown out of proportion (obviously). VY has not had experience playing the media or fighting a coach publicly in order to get playing time that he has clearly earned with his play on the field. He isn't a PR master and has been hammered time and time again by a more savvy coach.
You're a moron to think this is all Jeff Fishers fault.

Young said he knows he made mistakes dealing with the situation Sunday and didn't react the way he should have. But he said his frustration of not playing and not having Fisher's faith had built up to the point in which he didn't know how to handle it. He now knows he did not handle matters the right way.
I never said it was all Fishers' fault. This thread is about a "good call" in passing on VY over Fisher, so obviously it involves the two being pitted against each other. Anyone who has paid any attention to the turmoil knows the two have not gotten along. It would be ignorant for anyone to say it was all one person's fault over the other. My argument, backed up by win/loss record and passer rating is that VY brings more of a tangible benefit to the team than Jeff Fisher. There is no way to defend the difference in the record of the team over such a long period of time other than to say that VY brings more to the table than Fisher does. That large sample size does not allow for statistical anomaly.
I will say that Fisher is more at fault because despite whatever frustration Young feels about being shafted by Fisher, and whatever ways he dares confront his coach, Fisher is allowing his ego to get in the way of the team. If Young were 15-21 as a starter and Fisher 26-9 without Young then it would be clear who needs to sit down and shut up. If that were the case, Fisher would be right to keep him off the field and VY would need to do more to prove himself. But that simply is not the truth of the matter.
Young then left the locker room and ignored media members as Titans safety and former University of Texas teammate Michael Griffin chased after him. The Tennessean reported that Griffin was seen confronting Young in the players' parking lot.
Griffin denied chasing after Young, but multiple media outlets reported witnessing the incident.
Guess the Media and people who say them in the parking lot are on Jeff Fishers payroll too. It's all Jeffs Big plan!!!!
I read an article where Griffin talked about what was said during that "confrontation", so your link must be outdated. Griffin played with Young at Texas and the two are close. Griffin was on record after that game of saying both sides needed to talk to each other more like men. "People need to let go of their egos". The media does lap up everything Fisher says because it is easier reporting if they don't have to do the work, and it makes for a nicer storyline.
Young has made it easy for Fisher to throw him under the bus because he doesn't know how to play the same game. Young hasn't tried to control his public perception or play the media. If Fisher were truly a team-first coach, he wouldnt run with the unsubstantiated Vince threw his pads in the stands allegation 10 minutes after the game had ended. Nothing good comes from that statement unless youre intentionally trying to paint that player in a bad light. That is exactly what he was doing. It's not some vast conspiracy, it is just working the press plain and simple. And obvious.
I never said Young can do no wrong. He certainly can screw up, and has at times. But Young flourishes when hes trusted, when hes given the opportunity to make, and make up for, mistakes. Fisher is too thick-headed to understand that, and hes allowing trivial shit to cloud his judgment on the only thing that matters (winning games). Hell, its worse than that, while Vince is playing very well on the field, Fisher is actively building a PR case against VY based purely on trivial shit. And youve apparently fallen for it.
