Vince Young's bold prediction: 'I will be in the Hall of Fame'

Backup Titans QB Vince Young is confident he'll be holding the Lombardi Trophy at some point

In remarks to Esquire, Young, lifted from the starting job in Week 1 last year, boldly predicted he'll regain the starting job and even achieve football immortality in Canton, Ohio.

"I don't know when I'll start again," he said to the magazine. "But I will be the next black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. And I will be in the Hall of Fame."

Young was the third overall pick of the 2006 draft. He started 29 games for the Titans in his first three years, with an 18-11 record. But veteran Kerry Collins supplanted him last year, and led the team to an NFL-best 18-11 record.

"Kerry Collins and I are good friends," Young told Esquire. "He's been through this, too, so he knows. He's teaching me about stocks and investments."

Titans coach Jeff Fisher has said he wants Young to reclaim the starting job at some point. But he also made clear that Collins is his starter for this season.

Young paid tribute to his mentor, former Titans QB Steve McNair, who was killed July 4 in what police say was a murder-suicide orchestrated by his girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi.

"It's hard to express in words how important Steve McNair is to me," Young told the magazine.

McNair is one of three black quarterbacks to have started a Super Bowl. Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb and Washington Doug Williams, who led the Redskins to a win in Super Bowl XXII, are the others.

Young said he is "in the best shape" of his life.

"I'm back to playing my game and not worrying about what everybody else thinks," he told the magazine. "That was my mistake: worrying too much about critics. I'm only twenty-six, man.

"If you think you can write me off, just watch."

Reactions?

He sucks.

Terrible throwing motion. Relies on legs too much. Accuracy is garbage.

Ive watched him enough to know he isnt doing anything to get close to the HOF

 

[dave]

I hope Collins is more accurate with his stocks and investments than he is throwing a football, or Young is fucked financially too.

 

[JMeist]

Sigh...We'll see how he is in pre-season.

 

[JMeist]

Since that's the only time you'll see him on the field.


BA----ZING!

Haha seriously. Honestly if the guy could play with somewhat of a head he would be a legitimate starter in the league.

 

[Boss AZ]

Sounds good.

Haters

 

[FishStickZ]

Hall of Fame?

MORE LIKE HALL OF SHAME!

Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My reaction was a mirror image of this

[steeljake]

and the bashing of Vince Young by VSN internet thugs starts now.....

do you have any other go to phrases or will this internet thug thing be all we can expect for you when you post somewhere besides the ggml threads?

my only reaction to this is... huh? does VY not have a PR person? if he doesnt he needs to get one or at least get someone who isnt in his pocket to listen to all this crazy shit he thinks and tell him '*****, you gay' so he doesnt tell a reporter looking for a break.

The Kid Has one on a large stage at every level so far, High School, Texas State Simi finals, College MNC, not to mention spending 3 years at texas being treated like a living god. Not defending his statements but its not hard to trace the delusion to its source.

This made me LOL

I LOVED VY in Texas, i still love him in the NFL

Wherever he goes hopefully he gets his head in the game and regains his composure and plays some good football

HOF is too much to gun for, yet he has the talent to get there especially with the team he's on now. CJ and White in the backfield will help him excel.

To be honest,

he doesn't have the passing talent to make HOF in the NFL. Sorry

[Juggernaut]
