Kinda the forgotten man in Tennessee......is Vince going o get a shot this year? If he does, can he step up? Is he done, or can he make a comeback at some point?
 
Him getting a shot this year will rest squarely upon Kerry's shoulders. I do think he will eventually get his opportunity.

I think the kid just got in to deep so fast that he got overwhelmed but will hopefully benefit from this time out of the limelight.

Vince's time is very near.

If he can't run the Tennessee offense, then he's pretty much screwed in the NFL. They were 28th in passing attempts and 7th in rushing attempts in 08.

Just hand the damn ball off.

His break down was mental more than anything else. Unless he gets control of his mental state of mind and shrugs off last year , he will be a bust. He'll end up being another Leftwich.

Hard to find a way to argue with that

Does anyone here know what set him off? A close call? A relative? Seriously, does anyone know?

So far as being worth anything. Nah. He's just about out of football now

I could have sworn they said something or made up some excuse when it happened but i don't remember it. I have never been much of a VY fan, always thought he was overrated. In college he was impressive but Texas is a powerhouse every year, so any QB looks impressive.

VY was the Titans offense his first year and was nothing but Roses.

VY was the LongHorns and worth every penny they spent.

I don't think you are correct, Cerberus, in your casual dismissal of Young Vincent during his time at Texas. He was amazing. Sorry.

But, yeah, seems like he quit and just wanted to not get hit. Which is why I ask if anyone can pinpoint the cause.

On your VY be amazing, wouldn't that mean he would be amazing NFL QB. He isn't and never was. I think he has the skills to be a good QB but his head isn't straight or better yet wasn't last year. I really feel it was the systems he was put into. In college, Texas was amazing not VY. Compare the players he had around him his first year to last year players when he mentally flipped.

I'm sorry, but no, Cerberus. amazing in college would be most Heisman winners and so few rock in the NFL. Can't see how you could argue with that.

Amazing in college means amazing in the NFL? dude. No. Those are the dreams busts are made of.

won't somebody chime in here about VY at Texas. Didn't he beat Ohio State and USC? and go undefeated? or am I wrong here?

With nary a future NFL WR or RB worth a shit

As soon as VY gets his first booooooooooo's and some bad press, will have a meltdown again, he's a mental mess at this point in his short lived career, his college success is a mute point.

Moot to those not LongHorns.

but you got it double 0 Seven. I think that's what i said earlier. I just can't help but be curious. what happened?
 
I thought it was moo.

like a cows opinion. it's moo.

proper props to mr. Joey Tribiani, who also once said, "Up? Up is not an option. What's a urethrae?"

Point blank, he could not take being booed. I am not kidding. The pressure was too much, and he broke down to it. In Texas he was the second coming.......so he was never booed.

Tennessee has fans that want wins...and they were relatively merciless on him.

Thus...I think he won't go far.

Yep, that was what started the downward spiral...he wasn't (isn't) mentally tough enough to handle the fans getting on him.
