Esquire Magazine: Vince Young Biography

A good read. It sounds like Vince has his head in the right place. This quote in particular sends chills:

Oh, the Rose Bowl. It was fourth down and five. Twenty-six seconds left. The national championship on the line. In the huddle, I just wanted everybody to stay loose. So I said, "Look at how ugly they are. Jesus, they're ugly." And then I said, "We're gonna win this game." And I looked at each of my teammates and said, "One more down. Everybody do their job."

how can you say he has his head in the right place

with a comment like this?

“I don’t know when I’ll start again. But I will be the next black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. And I will be in the Hall of Fame.”

i will give vy credit he was a great college player but he will never be a great or even good nfl player.

There's something spiritual about baseball — like Mother Nature," Garrido said. "You don't mess with it. And I think before a player can really believe in it, he has to experience it."

I'll have to agree with August West at MCM

Who doesn’t understand why people are trying to tell Vince to strive for mediocrity.

i am not saying strive for medocrity

but what i am saying is that obviously he care about what people think of him and that is why he is a nutcase right now.

why did he have to add the “black quaterback” prior to win a superbowl. if you listen to warren moon and everybody else they do not want to be considered a black QB but just a quarterback.

as well to say he wants to be in the HOF thats great and all but i have never played in the NFL or anywhere close to it and i probably right now have a better shot at getting in.

i wish the best for VY i think he has amazing talent but all he is doing is making things worse for himself.
