So you would have sprinted to the thread with VY sausage in hand predicting that someone else will come in and predict that you will sprint in?
Gotcha
And if I would have viewed it first I would have predicted you predicting others to sprint into this thread.

Nope, would have left the sausage in the fridge and said typical instant timvp vy post in 3...2...
you sprinted in here faster than sausage holders...what does that tell you?
And I haven't defended him in this thread. Dude needs to shut up and play if the rumors are true.
Link to these typical posts?
It tells me I had to sprint in before the sausage holders in order to make the prediction.
ROFL.
Exactly.
Not sure if its been said yet but I am sure there is a bit more to this story that won't come out for awhile.
Yeah some more has come out. I really hope the guy is mentally healthy right now.

Felicia Young has seen her son experience the ups and downs that go with being a football star.
On Monday night, she saw 25-year-old Vince Young sink to his lowest point. It ended with Coach Jeff Fisher calling Metro Police to search for her son for over four hours, and opened the biggest window yet into the emotional and troubled side of the ans quarterback.
A psychologist was among those who met with Young at his Brentwood home on Monday, and what she concluded and told team officials led to a bizarre, 24-hour period that ended just after midnight Tuesday morning. That’s when Fisher met with Young and police at Baptist Sports Park.
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.
“Vince has gone through a whole lot as a young person,’’ Felicia Young said. “And I think he has done pretty well up to this point. But it is hard, all he is going through right now. He’s hurting inside and out.
“But he will be fine if people are prayerful and help my baby boy out. He is a young man. He just needs a lot of love and support.’’
When the frantic search for Young ended, Fisher and the ans said the incident had been blown out of proportion. So did some of Young’s friends and family.
But the events that led up to it all — and the fact Fisher called police — showed just how much concern the team has regarding the mental state of Young, who suffered a left knee injury in Sunday’s season opening win over the Jaguars. Young opted not to get an MRI of the knee on Monday; an MRI on Tuesday revealed he has a sprained MCL that could keep him out anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
The ans, meanwhile, were making plans to go on without him.
“In a major city police department we have calls like this all the time about people who fear for their loved ones … the difference here being Vince Young’s notoriety,’’ Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron said. “When the police department gets such calls, you have to take them seriously. You never know how these issues will ultimately turn out. The concerns of (Monday) night appear to be unfounded.’’
The ans had concerns about Young even before late Monday night.
After Young balked at having the MRI on Monday, Fisher went out and talked to him at his Brentwood home, spending over an hour with him. The ans also sent a psychologist, Dr. Sheila Peters, and Tina Tuggle, the team’s Director of Player Development, to meet with Young to try and encourage him.
The psychologist said Young was extremely depressed and expressed concerns to the team about Young’s safety. Later, Young left the house and sped off in his Mercedes Benz without his cell phone. He couldn’t be found for some time, which prompted a phone call to Fisher.
Fisher then called police, who began searching for Young. When Young was finally tracked down, he met with Fisher and police at Baptist Sports Park and eventually went home.
“The people that are closest to Vince inform(ed) us that he had left his house in a state of mind that had them concerned; and that he was unreachable, having left his cell phone at the house,’’ Fisher said in a statement. “(Later) it was determined that those initial concerns by his friends and family were unfounded and he returned home without incident.’’
According to police, Young had a handgun in the glove compartment of his vehicle, but it was not loaded and Aaron said officers had no concerns about Young trying to harm himself. Young was not charged with any crime because it’s not a violation of the law in Tennessee to transport an unloaded firearm with no ammunition in a motor vehicle.
“The fact the gun was in the glove compartment and was unloaded did not present an issue for the officers,’’ Aaron said. “There was no ammunition in the car. The gun was unloaded. The slide was back in a safe position, and it was in the glove box.’’
A friend of Young’s said on Tuesday the quarterback was with him watching Monday Night Football in Steve McNair’s office in Nashville when police were searching for Young, and neither had any idea anyone was looking for him. Earlier, the two had stopped by Nuttin’ but Wings on Jefferson Street and exchanged autographs for free wings, Raymond White said.
“We sat around watching football and eating chicken wings,’’ said White “Everything was fine. There was no problem.’’
Agent Major Adams, who represents Young, said on Tuesday the quarterback was shocked at all the attention the story generated on Tuesday.
“He understands that people care about him and all that; that is the good part of it,’’ Adams said. “But to have it all blow up like it was … Vince feels like he can’t go anywhere without people knowing where he is 24 hours a day. That’s the only negative part of it. He’s fine.’’
The events of the last 48 hours, however, have clearly left a lasting mark on both Young and the ans.
On Sunday, before Young was injured against the Jaguars, he initially refused to re-enter the game after throwing an interception and getting booed by fans. His decision to ignore the team’s request for him to have the MRI created even more friction between the player and the team, and indications last night were the ans have turned the team over to back-up quarterback Kerry Collins.
Even when Young returns from his injury, he might not get his job back.
The ans believe Young’s injury is one that will keep him out anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
Then there’s the question about whether Young is interested in returning, something he mentioned to those who were with him on Monday.
“What would you think, if you were tired of being ridiculed and persecuted and talked about and not being treated very well, what would you do? What kind of decision would you make?’’ Felicia Young asked. “He may not want to deal with it (all), but you have to get to that point before you make that decision first.
“But we’re not talking about football right now. We’re talking about what would make him happy, and that is the most important thing.
“… You don’t want people to be hurting like he is. But it is a growing-up process, and he will eventually come out like gold no matter what. But Vince is going to be OK. We are just going to try and give him some space.”
Mario Williams is a wizard. There can be no other explanation.
I have a feeling he's on drugs. There's no way the guy who was so confident and such a winner in college and in his rookie year could have fallen this far on his own.
Seriously, I think this is a side effect of VY being raised by only women and being coddled without having a dominant male influence to help him grow out of his boyhood and face the challenges of being a man, especially a dominant leader of men that he needs to be in his career. At Texas he was still close to home and never faced the challenge of leading a large group of multimillionaire men, many of whom are several years older than him. He is far too sensitive to the thoughts and feelings other people have of him (a very strong feminine psychological trait), and that seems to be the problem here. His situation isn't uncommon, a lot of men I've met have never really grown out of boyhood mentally and emotionally.
It's an ego thing. He's been Superman since before he had a drivers license at Madison and then at UT. Now he's a heavily criticized mortal and he can't take it. This is the second time I've heard the "VY doesn't want to play anymore" line.
What I don't get is that he's gone through three training camps and seen teammates get cut that would kill to be an NFL player, then throws temper tantrums when the team wants him to get an MRI. Then he ''disappears'' after he gets the results. It's almost like he wanted a career-ending injury.
Harsh.
I saw the an-charger game in person and it certainly was not VYs fault the ans lost. Dropped passes, fumble at the 10 yard line, shanked 30 yard field goal.
QB in his second year goes 10-6 and gets team to Wildcard. That's not bad.
He seems like a good guy, its a shame that hes all screwed up.
Hope he can get some help and get fixed soon.
Don't be fooled its wasnt him that led them to the playoffs. It was the ans Defense, which is the only reason why they won this game last week.
I'm guessing it also isn't Matt Schaub's fault when the Texans get faceraped every weekend?
So now Vince's mom says he isn't sure he wants to play anymore...yikes.
True, but people also used to and still do bag on Trent Dilfer for the year he and the Ravens D won the Superbowl. I haven't seen any other QB le with that Ravens D.
Nah this past week the Steelers Defense ripped his ass hole apart. He made some very poor decisions on offense. He is probably 80% to blame for the ass raping this past sunday. Mono are you still crying cause your man Brady is out for the season?
Trent sucked and yeah thats a good comparison, only thing is its not the same D it was back then. Same situation would go for Chicago a few years ago. That D and special teams was amazing. The Offense, yeah not so much.
Yeah I hope the guy invested his money. He should have stayed in college and played 2 more years. Its apparent that he wasn't ready mentally and he still had more to learn about the game. He could have worked on his passing game which has come back to haunt him. He isnt used to being booed and they booed the out of him sunday.
No I'm just fine. We lost the most valuable player in the league and we're still better than the Texans. If anything, you should be the one crying.
LOL man you barely beat the Chiefs and your still talking . Funny thing is this is a VY topic and you bring up the Texans just to try to get under my skin. You really are a little arent you.
After leading the Ravens to the Bowl he was traded and sat on the bench in Seattle. With the Seahawks fighting for a playoff bid, Dilfer got the final two starts of the year due to injury. Won them both, got playoff bid, passer rating 92.0
That left Dilfer 50-39 as a starter. How many other NFL QBs were/are 50-39 after 90 starts? To the point, the one year with Balti he did just fine.
Ditto with Grossy. While he has sucked bad at times, he also went over 100 passer rating for 7 of the Bears 13 wins. NFC le game he went 20-28, albiet with two INTs. That is not sucking, sorry. Otherwise, yes he has sucked.
...grow a pair, Vince.
Oh don't get me wrong Gross had his games where he did good, but all in all he sucked. Thing is Fabbs every guy 1st, 2nd, or 3rd stringer is a PRO football player. Given a great D, they should win a lot of games. That is my point really. I mean look at Brad Johnson with his SB years with the bucks. They had a bad ass def. The offense was just OK at best. VY just isnt a smart player on the field, makes bad decisions, never really did his homework according to the ans center, and hasnt improved his accuracy and now he is letting his emotions get the best of him. IMO he is done, and will possibly retire after this season. He talked about it once and his mom makes it seem like thats what he wants to do again.
