Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young arguably made the most exciting play in a college football National Championship game when he nearly single-handedly knocked off the “unbeatable” USC Trojans.  Life was great; he was on the top of the world and was soon drafted as the Titans top pick in the ’06 Draft. 

Quickly after the tickertape parades and glowing compliments about his elusiveness, the harsh criticisms that come with being a starting quarterback in the NFL came down upon Young.  Before he even threw his first pass in the league, many questioned his unorthodox side-armed throwing motion, and many USC Trojans like me couldn’t wait to see the speed of pro linebackers and the complicated nature of professional defenses slow him down. 

With 2 NFL seasons now under his belt, Young has seemingly begun to crumble under the extreme pressure of the league.  After not making the playoffs his first season and a 1st round loss to the Chargers in last year’s playoffs, where the Titans only put up 6 points, the insane impatience of football fans with Young’s lack of magic has bogged the 25 year-old down.  Where’s the guy that ran all over and around USC?
