    This is a good question. Bud knows his time on this Earth is coming to an end. Adams has owned a business for 51 years. That business has only beat its competitors twice, and those two times were 50 years ago. Surely Mr. Adams will recognize that this season will be a wash (if it isn't already) if Young is placed on the IR or released.

    In my opinion, the best thing Bud could do is suspend VY for this week's game (it hurts to say that), and threaten Fisher that if he does not put the best team on the field, and cannot make a playoff run, his job with Tennessee will be in jeopardy. This is unlikely to happen, but, I'm just giving an opinion.

    When the going gets tough, Vince gets gone.

    You don't walk out of the locker room before the team meeting is concluded, especially when your coach is telling you not to. That is insubordination. That damaged the team.

    Vince has had 5 years to figure that out. If he is frustrated at not having his coaches' confidence, then he should figure out how to get it. Fisher has supported him numerous times- he hasn't "always been out to get vince" as some have suggested.

    I suspect Bud will tell Fish to get VY back on the field because Bud doesn't have enough years left to re-build. We'll see some more statements of contrition from VY if that is the case.

    Personally, I've had enough of Baby Vince and his tantrums. He just doesn't get that it takes more than great play to be a great leader and the franchise equally needs a QB who is great leader as well as a play-maker. I've also had enough of Fisher and his recent inability to win play-off games.

    Vince is smart enough to say the right things after the fact, but in the heat of the moment, when things really matter, when he's facing adversity, he has shown an inability to control his feelings and he has proven that he can't be trusted.

    To forgive him once again would be a mistake. A line has to be drawn and the franchise needs to go in a new direction. You can't win with instability at quarterback.

    In all honesty, I think it is time for Fisher to find a new team. There is something that is going on in the locker room and it does not seem right. The plays that Young has are crazy. Then Rusty Smith comes in and gets 3 shots deep. Especially when CJ is doing well. I don't get that. If Rusty gets one in or Moss's TD was good, would that have shown everyone, that Rusty should be the starting QB and give reason to sit VY? It took Bud to step in and put VY in last year and turn the season around, at least make it exciting. I am real tired of losing important games with dumb playcalling. Our 3rd quarter is always 3 runs up the middle and out. With Rusty in the back field, CJ was given Wide out pitches to hit the sides. But with VY, everything is up the gut. What happend to our option play. The one where VY doesn't go one way then out, just the one that he bootlegs out and then pitches to CJ. Seriously Fisher needs to learn how to use his weapons accordingly and win games.

    Vince threw his shoulder pads into the stands. He taunted the crowd when it was booing... and it was not clear at the time they were booing VY to me... but once he started raising his hands in the air, they sure booed him and loudly.

    AND Vince threw a hissy fit in the locker room when we still have 5 divisional games left and can win the division and get a home playoff game.


    How can you still support the guy after that?


    (and yes, Fisher deserves a lot of blame and to be fired if the team doesn't make the playoffs. But Vince doesn't get a pass from this fan, not anymore.)

    Yesterday, Vince said he still had his pads. Today, he says he gave them to daughter of Titans VP yesterday. He is a liar and talks like a 3 year old.

    This is the thing though, we are getting spoon fed stories from the media. I mean Kuharsky had a story up stating the Titans need to cut VY Immidiatley within 2 1/2 hours after the game. Im not saying anything that was said was false, but the way the Miami game played out, people in and around the NFL wanted a VY story, needed a VY story, and they got one yesterday, and they made it a story. Now, I know he still threw his pads into the crowd, but today we find out he was giving his Jersey to someone in particular. Did VY lose his composure and do the wrong thing? YES. Does he deserve to be disciplined? YES. Does he deserve to lose his job and be cut from the team on the spot? NO. Why? because the dude is the best QB on the team, and is a member of a HUGE list of NFL players known as Divas. We as fans need to get off the idea that VY is going to start acting like Payton Manning. Hes not. Hes a spoiled kid, who grew up with no father who doesnt know how to act. But dude has made remarkable progress as a QB even though hes been benched, treated like a second rate citizen by his head coach, and has been nothing but drug through the mud by the media.

    Like I said earlier, my gut is telling me to side with VY on this one. If something else comes out, I am more than willing to change my views or be convinced otherwise. Im not "supporting VY to a fault". At the end of the Day, I want whats best for The Titans and in my honest opinion it is to Fire Fisher and have VY as the QB.

    What he gave her was his jersey, not his pads.
