Titus Young Thread

Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young continued his quest to get released by the team Friday by once again taking to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the organization.

After lashing out on the social media site earlier this week when he threatened to never play football again, Young directed more thoughts at the team about his unhappiness.

"Oh I'm not done, if y'all going to cut me let me go. I'm tired of the threats," Young tweeted.

Young shortly followed with a another tweet that stated: "Never needed the money Give me a dollar and a ball bet I come back #HallofFame"

It has been a tumultous two-year tenure for Young, who has been sent home by the team on three different occasions -- once for punching teammate Louis Delmas during an offseason workout program, then twice for repeated insubordinate behavior.

In November, Young allegedly lined up in the wrong position on purpose in a game against Green Bay, something he later denied. Coach Jim Schwartz deemed Young's behavior "unacceptable."

In a since-deleted tweet from earlier this week, Young also said he would retire if he didn't have more passes thrown his way. The 2011 second-round pick had 33 catches this past season and 81 in 26 career games.

"Like I said I never been selfish but if I'm not going to get the football i don't want to play anymore," Young wrote.

Schwartz addressed Young's tweets earlier this week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

"Every offensive player wants the football, and there are good ways to go about getting that and not so good ways about trying to get that done. This is a pretty good example of a not-so-good way," Schwartz told the team's website.

"We obviously still have some ground to cover there."

Someone needs to tell this idiot he plays behind Megatron. He will get the ball when Megatron is not open. Until then, kindly stfu and block someone bitch.

I literally wanna shank this piece of shit. Posted my hatred enough any him in the Lions thread. Hall of Game...lmao right. I said it once, I'll say it again, I would rather have TO at his worst. The fact that we haven't cut the guy STILL pisses me off even more.

 

[Aso]

I would not touch him regardless of team. Why would anyone want him on their roster?

 

[mgoblue2290]

If it isn't about money how about he restructures to league minimum. Needs to be cut immediately.

 

[ram29jackson]

too bad, Titus Young would be a cool name if he were a great player

:jonesy:

Does he really believe he's going to get a lot of targets with Calvin Johnson on the roster? He can beat double coverage in his sleep, Young isn't going to get that many targets. He just needs to do the best with what he has. He's actually in a good situation, and if he does end up being released, he's going to go somewhere for the veteran minimum and have to play his way onto the roster.

 

[Aso]

I think he might end up being a free agent for a while. If I'm a GM I just don't want someone with his ego on my roster. And if he has to play his way onto a roster which he will have to do if he wants to still play of course he won't get a ton of targets, at least not right off the bat. I'm guessing he will eventually see the error in his ways and grow up a little.

Young fool. 10 years from now he will be reflecting on how he wish he did it differently.

Titus Young cant get open with consistent 1 on 1 coverage. Dude just sucks period. He doesn't need to shut his mouth, he needs to learn to play the position.

Not sure about the cap situation, but not sure why Lions haven't released him.

My guess is just to be vindictive.

Not to mention the dude drops plenty of passes.

 

[G-men]

I always thought that most of the Boise State guys were the types with a chip on their shoulder. Young is just an arrogant asshole.

Lets not get carried away. He had a pretty solid rookie campaign and has loads of talent. Obviously his ego gets in the way (lining up incorrectly, running the wrong route ect...), but he can play.

Former NFL star receiver Terrell Owens, team owner of the PBA Tour's Dallas Strikers, threw out the ceremonial first ball, along with Jerome Bettis, to get the competition under way at noon Sunday at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park. He then jumped up and gave PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke high-fives after fourth- and ninth-frame strikes in a dominating win over the Silver Lake Atom Splitters.

Owens, 39, said if he could give advice to troubled Lions receiver Titus Young, it would be that Young should "know his role."

"He has to understand that Calvin (Johnson is) the No. 1 receiver, and being the No. 2 receiver, you have to go with the flow of the offense and when your time comes, make the plays," Owens said.

Owens, looking in game shape at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, hopes to play in the NFL again next year. "I look good. I feel good," he said.

Frankly, while an Eagles' fan, I'd give Owens a shot if I were an NFL team. He's been humbled and still could be a good NFL receiver on the cheap. Frankly, the Bills should re-sign him and give Steve Johnson a complimentary piece.

No.

 

[BigBucs]

Owens did it to himself but there isnt a question in my mind whether or not he can be a #1 WR for someone. Dude is a freak of nature, AP cut from the same cloth.

 

[Apocalypse]

He's gone!
