Tony Dungy on Vince Young

Dungy also touched on the controversy surrounding Vince Young, who said last weekend that he wants to be the Tennessee Titans' starting quarterback in 2009 or play for another team.

"I am a big Vince Young fan, and I have gotten to know him from playing against him twice a year (with the Colts in the AFC South)," Dungy said. "He did a tremendous job at the University of Texas leading that program, and he was on his way in Tennessee, but some things happened. He is going to have to recover and rebound and reestablish that leadership.

"Right now, I think the team does look at Kerry Collins as being the leader, and that is going to be a hill he (Young) is going to have to climb. It will be interesting to see if he does it. I am pulling for him, and I hope he does. He is a good person, and I think he can develop into a big-time quarterback, but right now, I think you have to say Kerry Collins is the leader of that offense."

 

I think Drew is out of the league now.

 

Obviously Tony was being generous in his remarks for Kerry. My read is Tony is saying what the F$%^ is wrong with Jeff and his coaches.

 

If the Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator are not in your camp, you have a tough road to climb. That said, I believe we owe it to ourselves as Titan fans to see what Vince has to offer if given a chance. F%$# real chance. Just put him in and see how he adapts over the remaining weeks to the NFL opposition. He will find a way to win their support and ours or he will be cut.

This is why Jeff should have resigned when Bud forced his hand with Vince.
