Lebron-caliber decision about to be made.

[IronMexican]

Shocker. I thought Jeff Fisher would be the one to leave.

Al has a stiffy for this guy. Would have trade up to #2 back in 2006, had Bush not fallen to New Orleans. I could definitely see it happening.

[LnGrrrR]

I still think Fisher has lost his fastball.

Vince Young is out in Tennessee

Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has made his decision: Vince Young is out at quarterback, likely signaling that Jeff Fisher will be back to coach the team for a 17th season.
Ever since Young walked out on the team following a week 11 loss, it was apparent that the Titans owner would have to choose between the quarterback he adored and the man who has coached his team since 1994. In a somewhat surprising move, he went against his talented, but troubled, quarterback. Yet in a statement about Young's eventual dismissal, Adams didn't fully commit to the 52-year old Fisher, who is the longest tenured head coach in the NFL:

"As you are aware, we have been engaged in a series of internal discussions over the last month about the future of our football team. We have two critical decisions to make - the direction of the coaching staff and the future at the quarterback position. They are separate issues to me and will be dealt with separately.
Today, I informed our general manager Mike Reinfeldt to move forward with plans to begin the process of identifying the next quarterback for our franchise. He will inform Vince Young's agent that Vince will not be on our roster next season. I want to offer my personal thanks to Vince for all of his positive contributions to the club. These kinds of decisions are never easy and this is especially true for this particular player. I certainly wish that things would have worked out better, but I think it is best for the franchise that we move on at this point.
I also informed Jeff (Fisher) today that I was continuing the evaluation of the coaching staff and I am hoping to make a decision soon."
Reading between the lines, I'd say that Adams' heart told him to go with Young, while his head told him to stick with Fisher. It's a surprising move given Adams' clear affection for Young and the fact that Fisher's teams have slipped in recent years. For all the stability the coach supposedly provides, his teams have a 54-58 mark since 2004 and he's only made the playoff six times in 16 full seasons.

All he does is win.

[ohmwrecker]

Harbough and Young to the Raiders.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I still think Fisher has lost his fastball.

I don't ever think he had much of a fastball in the first place.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I can see Jerry Jones signing him to sell more jerseys.

[ducks]

I wonder if cards will go after him

[ohmwrecker]

Redskins?

[Greg Oden]

Greg Oden / DoK - 1

VY ballhuggers - 0

[Greg Oden]

Redskins?

replacing an inconsistent, inaccurate black QB with a poor man's version of said inconsistent, inaccurate black QB is telling.

[Blake]

Greg Oden / DoK - 1

VY ballhuggers - 0

ftr, Young will get a fresh start on another team and be an MVP candidate like Michael Vick.

All that this life-loving badass does is win. :lobt:

[Greg Oden]

det reminds me

DAF after predicting VY would be SB MVP - negative trillion

[crc21209]

I could see him going to either San Fran or Oakland. I wonder if Jerry would actually go after him to get him in Dallas too...

[mojorizen7]

I think VY lands in Minnesota.

[Blake]

I think VY lands in Minnesota.

after having released Moss the way they did, I doubt they go after Young.

[Phillip]

VY will be a Raider.

Book it!

[johnsmith]

VY will be a Raider.

Book it!

I agree.

[Phillip]

then the raiders will go 19-0

[Blake]

[monosylab1k]

seriously, there is no more overrated head coach in football than Jeff Fisher. Someone tell me exactly what the guy has done to deserve 17 years at Tennessee? If not for the second flukiest play in NFL history, he'd have been fired years ago. The Titans with McNair might have actually gone on to win a SB if that happened too.

Your a fucking idiot. I was just posing the question. The 'Skins need a QB, obviously. I would rather see VY go to the Raiders like I said before.

Yeah. I got nuthin'. Dude needs to chill out, get on a team as a second stringer under a quality quarterback, and learn.

Now will see if the light comes on for Young.

I thought how he responded to the question about being a back-up QB was even more damning to his sense of reality.

He gave a condescending laugh, then kind of half-whispered "now that's funny" and then tried to answer it diplomatically.

You'd think after this season, his ego would have a self check.

The Tennessee Titans (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/ten/tennessee-titans) intend to try and trade quarterback Vince Young (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9589) rather than release him, according to league sources.
Young is due a $4.25 million roster bonus 10 days after the start of the league year, whenever there's a new collective bargaining agreement. It originally had been thought Young was due the bonus March 10.





Thus, from the moment the new CBA is signed, Tennessee will have a 10-day window in which to trade Young and his contract that calls for $8.5 million in base salary during the 2011 season.

Another team would have to be willing to take on Young's contract -- or be willing to restructure it. The Titans can release Young starting Feb. 7 but they do not have plans to do that now.

Young is 30-17 in five NFL seasons, but only 13-14 against teams finishing a season .500 or better. He's also battled questions about his work ethic, leadership and injuries. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury on his right hand Nov. 21, tossed his shoulder pads into the stands and told off former coach Jeff Fisher in front of the team before storming out of the locker room.

They've destroyed whatever trade value he had! Jesus Christ, that team is run by a pack of dickless retards.

I don't see how that's damning at all. Look at the numbers he put up this season. Is a 98.6 QB rating and a 3.3:1 TD to INT ratio the numbers a backup puts up?

Calling himself elite was too much, but he's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's better than a backup at this point.

Post whatever lol pats fail pics in this thread, and they're all goin in my sig.

obviously since sigs have that shitty scroll feature, get your best pic in quickly for prime real estate.
