On the topic of VY, did ya see this article tennessean? Hard to believe.

A topic for offseason: is it really true that Texans pro scouts understands this scouting thing better than us?

it doesn’t even seem like the guy. is that how he’s gonna “represent the university of texas until he dies” or whatever he said at the jersey retiring. i feel like i’m in bizarro world.

i pray for a speedy recovery to him

all he had to do was show up to affirm it. It didn’t matter if he was fat or could barely sing in the manner he once had, ir if his appearance was vastly more show than substance. He was Elvis. There was no other.

Vince has already gained legendary status in Texas. Unfortunately, he is still in the game, one where he has to prove it each week. I can’t image how jarring all these events are to his ego. He never seemed pretentious but he was a confident leader and that required a powerful assertion of himself.

So, it seems to me Vince must forget the past. All of it. If he should quit, he would tarnish everything he has accomplished. Can’t do that; not even a consideration.

The future is right now and requires every single bit of attention VY can muster. He must bite through the gristle, the problems. Perhaps he’ll use the off time out of the spotlight to see things for what they are, which is absolutely the most difficult thing for a young man to do. And the most essential.

I agree that VY’s game and what the Titans are doing are two different things. It is only through his performance, through mastering the Titans game, that he can unleash his own. That is how this die is cast this year. The injury is a subtle reminder that his time in the sun is limited, and the passing and team skills he needs to master will endure longer than the wonderful physicality of his body.

One look at Earl should have told him that, but then young men don’t always see things for what they are. Earl is a profound warning of the price of fame and fortune.
