Young isn't happy with backup role

07:53 AM ET 06.04 | During an interview with a Baltimore television station, Vince Young made it clear it's time for him to play football or go elsewhere. "He was just voicing his opinion about competing for a starting job," his agent, Major Adams, said Wednesday, adding that Young was surprised by the magnitude of the controversy. But make no mistake, Young isn't satisfied with the role of backup to 16-year veteran Kerry Collins, who assumed the starting job midway through the 2008 season opener and led the Titans to a league-best 13-3 record. But after an offseason when Young appeared to be largely toeing the company line, working hard and saying the right things, the interview at a youth football camp offered the first signs of a lifelong football star becoming frustrated with an unfamiliar supporting role.

Okay, stop with these threads! No one likes being a backup and Vince is not yet ready to be the starter. We get it! Let's move on!

If I was a Titan fan I would not be happy with VY in a back up role either. I would want something better in case Collins got hurt. I think VY is spot on on this one....

Does any kid, especially a former 1st rounder like being a backup?
The problem is that Young has a lot of maturing and improving to do before anyone trusts him with a starter's role.
Next story.

Don't tell Vince, but she's waving to Kerry Collins.

Agreed, but he probably won't be able to do that until after he gets released by the Titans and picked up by anyone willing to give him that chance.

Actually, in the next frame he is pointing to his spot on the BENCH!

"Young isn't satisfied with the role of backup"
OOOOhhh... so NOW you're ready to play... Well forgive US, Mr. Young.... Anything you want buddy. We'll just sit around until you're "mentally" ready to perform / work, and to stop quitting on us....
This guys is another one that is EVERYTHING wrong w/ athletes today. They all think they're owed something... Guess What, Vinny... if anyone is "owed", it's the TEAM YOU DI-KED OVER AND KEPT CASHING PAYCHECKS! NOW SHUT YOUR MOUTH, GO WORKOUT AND WE'LL CALL YOU WHEN WE'RE READY.
