Vince Young Done As A Titan (UPDATED)

Yesterday we witnessed the end of the Vince Young era in Tennessee. He might be knocked out for the year if he needs surgery, but even if he is healthy there is no way Jeff Fisher is going to let him play again after his actions yesterday.

As you have probably heard by now Vince Young was not happy that he was pulled from the game after tearing a tendon in his right thumb. Fisher felt he couldn't get a good grip on the ball, and thus pulled him.

"After the game, Young walked toward the tunnel and suddenly tossed his shoulder pads and jersey into the stands. When the team gathered in the locker room following the loss, Young began muttering and cursing under his breath as Fisher addressed the team, the Tennessean reported Sunday night.

After Fisher asked Young to be quiet, the paper said, the quarterback finished dressing and prepared to leave the room. Fisher told Young to stop and not to "run out on your teammates," sources told The Tennessean. Young told Fisher, "I'm not running out on my teammates, I'm running out on you," the paper said.

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 reportedly pleaded with Young, "You can't leave, you can't do this," before Young shrugged and left (ESPN)."

In a small way I understand Young's frustration. I don't feel like Fisher has ever really treated him fair. He seems to be on the verge of pulling him all the time, even though he seems to win game after game for them. Still, this is unacceptable.

Vince Young is unstable. There were rumors before that he tried to kill himself, so his actions this time around can't be taken lightly. Young is due over $12 million, so you know there is no way that they will bring him back. What I am worried about is the fact that we might just watch him completely fall apart. I still think he is a winner, but he needs to find the right situation, and get his head on straight, because giving up on your team and throwing your shoulder pads into the stands is no way for a franchise QB to act.

***UPDATE***

Now it sounds like Vince Young didn't throw is pads into the stands...

"According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, not only did Vince Young not throw his shoulder pads into the stands after the loss (as has been reported elsewhere), but his jersey wasn't "thrown," either. He gave it to the daughter of the Titans' executive vice president. "She's been very supportive of me," Young said, per Schefter (ESPN)."

Even if this is true swearing at your coach, and walking out of your team is going to cost him his starting job (if his injury doesn't first).
