Does he realize what "career change" implies? Anyway, they should've gotten the job done in San Diego the year before last.
Report: Young pushing to play
Tennessee ans quarterback Vince Young isn't saying play me or trade me, but he's coming pretty close.
Young
In an interview with Baltimore's WMAR-TV, Young said if he doesn't win back his starting job, he wants to move on. The problem is that Kerry Collins is still the starter.
"I definitely want to get back out there playing ball and picking up where I left off, winning games and having a good time with my teammates and with the fans," Young said, according to the television station. "At the same time, if them guys don't want me to be in there, it's time for me to make a career change for myself. Because the fact is I'm ready to play ball. If they're not ready for me to play ball, then somebody is."
The former rookie of the year suffered a knee injury in the first game of the season last year. Veteran Kerry Collins stepped in and remained the starter for the remainder of the year, leading the ans to a 13-3 record and the playoffs.
Young's season was further marred by an incident after that first game against Jacksonville in which the quarterback was reported missing. He was later found and there was some question as to his state of mind.
This offseason, ans coach Jeff Fisher said that Young would have to unseat Collins as the starter.
"I'm still focused, staying focused," Young said, according to WMAR. "I got a lot of people that look up to me. I got a lot of fans that love me and want to see me back out on the football field."

I don't blame the guy at all. He's got talent...he doesn't want to spend his whole career on the bench. Someone will give him a shot at the starting spot.

Agreed...but the guy is still too talented to be a backup.
If he just keeps his mouth shut and bides his time he'll be back out there when KC starts tanking at some point this season. Fisher is actually in his corner but after the season Kerry had last year you'd have to at least start with him.
Definitely..and I think that may be what he's hoping for...
He needs to go out there and let his game do the talking. All this does nothing.
We'll take him.
Eagles?We'll take him.
that would make no senseWe'll take him.
Yea
Earn your time in practice.
NO joke man. Vince is becoming a big joke and only making himself look stupid. He blew it as a starter before he got "injured". Im surprised Dirk has yet to post in here.
if you can't beat out an over the hill kerry collins, then what team would you be able to be the starter on?
Vikings maybe......Broncos maybe......that's about it.
He was a great college QB. His game just didn't transfer to the NFL. He should be happy to be a backup.
He is eager to impale or be impaled.

No he's not.
Physically, he's got the talent. Its his mental state that keeps him from succeeding, between bad decisions and freaking out over getting booed.
Yeah but his accuracy was never really that good either even in college. His legs is what made him great and I think thats what limited him the pros. He couldnt just run all the time.
Exactly...he needs a brain transplant...or he needs to focus more..whichever works better.
You don't remember too well, do you? Vince was the top rated QB by accuracy in the NCAA his senior year...I'd say that's pretty good.
oh I remember but it wasnt him it was his recievers. looks at Thomas's numbers. Vince always dumped it to him on short passes. Sweed bailed VY out a lot as well, watch the last catch against Ohio State. HORRIBLE ing pass, great ing catch!!
True. But VY went completely the other way when going to Tennessee, where their recievers all completely suck ASS. And no one on the team was capable of making plays except him. So it makes it a lot easier to stop him from running when they don't feel threatened by any reciever or running back. But now that they have a back that is capable of making plays (Chris Johnson), I'd like to see how that helps him. Finally Justin Gage started pulling his head out of his butt too and making some plays as well, starting to become the reciever he is capable of being.
His actual throwing accuracy is completely different than QB rating.
I'm still waiting for WOAI's Charlie Parker to walk backwards to Houston
Mr. Parker said he would walk backwards to Houston if the Texan's didnt select Vince Young with their 1st pick back in 2006
That boy ain't right
