It sounds like he’s trying to speak carefully but he keeps shooting himself in the foot. He needs to just stop talking if he wants anyones respect.

I generally have little tolerance for prima donna athletes who think they are bigger than the team, and I really hope I am not just being a homer here, but I think the Titans are not holding up their end of the bargain.

The story I heard last year was that certain promises were made to Vince about taking a year off and starting over with a clean slate this year. And now, Jeff Fisher is basically saying Vince has to unseat Kerry Collins. I don’t think that was the deal that was made with Vince a year ago. And I don’t think Vince is being disrespectful in what he’s saying right now. He’s not throwing out the “play me or trade me” card. I think he’s asking, in a roundabout way, “what are your intentions?” He has a career to think about just like the rest of us. If they don’t want him there, then they need to admit it and take steps to get him somewhere else. If they do want him, then they need to cut the BS and start acting like they believe in him. I’m not saying give him something he hasn’t earned. But don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep either.

I don’t know about you all, but I’ve been in the position of being promised something by an employer and then having to jump through hoops to get it when the time came. There’s a fine line between paying your dues and letting people push you around just because they think they can.

As I’ve said at MCM, if you don’t try to load his quote, he didn’t ask for a trade or anything. All he said was that if he can’t play in Tennessee, he’ll look elsewhere for a team that would give him a chance to. That’s it. He didn’t rag on Fisher or anyone else. He even said that while he’s loved it there, it would simply be a career choice for him.

Much to do about nothing, but for some odd reason, the media (and disturbingly, Titans fans now) like to blow everything he does or says out of proportion.

I’m just trying to make sense of VY’s comments, and why he’s shifted from his stance of keeping quiet this off-season. I’m wondering if something’s been communicated to him from the coaching staff or management that he didn’t like…or did he see something in drills or practice that irritated him to think he has no shot of starting in Tennessee.

I firmly believe VY knew his statements would cause a stir, and there’s a reason behind it. Maybe he’s not getting the practice reps he wants with first-teamers? This is just purely frustrating for me as an avid VY fan that wants to see him succeed!!!

Bottom line, it wasn’t a good ided on VY’s part………no matter the reason.
