Apparently There Are Three Different Ways To Spell "Bust"

Da Realist:

Ouch

Their football futures were so bright, their potential so limitless, it would have been hard to imagine that the three college superstars had just peaked. Bush, Young and Leinart were taken Nos. 2, 3 and 10, respectively, in the 2006 NFL draft. But in the three years since, Canton has faded beyond the horizon as expectations have been adjusted downward for the once-dazzling trio.

Waldini:

Yea I read this yesterday too and had the same thoughts. You did hear Vince say this offseason that he wants to start AND he is going to the HOF right :-)? If you saw the preseason game against the hapless Bills on Sun, you would say Vince um maybe you just need to shut up and play....

Gangsta D:

The funny thing is, there's still time for redemption...well maybe not for Leinart.

Waldini:

There's still time even for him. I mean Kurt Warner ain't 28, he's 38 :-) Read more!

"It Was All A Dream..."

Waldini:

It's crazy that just 3 years ago, Matt Leinart was a Heisman winner and Vince Young was a BCS stud. Now these two can't supplant two QBs over 35 as the starting QBs on their teams. What happened?

"We're going to get Vince back, get his knee back, work with him, get him back involved in the offense," Fisher said. "But Kerry's going to go ahead and play for us until either he struggles or whatever else happens. Yeah, you saw by the way he played. In light of everything, it just makes sense to go with him."

Gangsta D:

I think we overstated their NFL potential. Matt Leinert is Ken Dorsey. All he had to do was get the ball to his plethora of weapons. Vince was just the best athlete on the field, and dominated by sheer will. I don't think they're lost causes, just look at Jim Plunkett. But, they better get in the film room and get their shit together or they'll be out in a quick minute.

Waldini:

You just nailed it on the head with the film room comment. And don't let your mom publicly complain to your boss about how you are being treated would help too.

Leinart, I don't get cuz he has Boldin and Fitzgerald. Just make a read. For Vince, he's needs to stop relying on his legs and athleticism and think more. Read more!

The '06 Rose Bowl Was A LONG Time Ago

Waldini:

I know you hate him Gangsta but his article is interesting. As a Titans fan, you know I'm not thrilled. Btwn the reports of him quitting on Sun, to the police going to his house on Mon, to his mama issuing a statement on Wed, it's not good.

I don't agree with everything in Whitlock's paper b/c he generalizing on a few subjects. But overall, makes ya think

Gangsta D:

I don't hate Young Vince. That's just your insecurity as a Titans fan talking. I'll decline to read the article, for obvious reasons. But I'll say this. Maybe the dude just has some stuff going on his head that trumps his job. I think he's a sympathetic figure. Maybe he's incapable of dealing with the pressures of being an NFL QB, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Just because you're 6-5, with a strong arm, and can run doesn't mean you're automatically going to be able to handle what he has to handle. It doesn't make him anything other than human.

But as a QB, he does suck:)

Waldini:

Thanks for the pep talk Coach Cardigan.

Gangsta D:

It's not my fault, my team is LOADED:) Read more!
