This isn’t the same Vince Young that lead Texas to the National Championship. Don’t know what the hell happened to him. Drugs?

Don’t know. Lots of rumors and such on various football boards but I can’t put much stock in any of that at this point. It’s hard to say. I do think the Titans are far better off with KC at the helm—dare I day, even a contenda.

One thing that happened is his team doesn't have better players at every position than his opponents. I dont think that can be overlooked.

Something similar happened with Terence Newman. He grew in small town Kansas and went to K-State where he was just plain faster than everyone he played against. Then he goes to the NFL and gets burned his rookie year. It took about a year an a half for him to realize he wasnt faster than everyone, and how to adjust to it.

Vince just needs time to adjust. Plus, ESPN was really pushing this story, so I instantly thought it wasn't as bad as thought.
