It was kind of hard to believe but Vince Young looked like he quit on his team yesterday. After "tweaking his hamstring" on the same play he just happened to throw his second interception of the day, he walked over to the sideline and slammed his butt on the bench.
Fischer had no idea, but he didn't feel like going back in...
After the defense held JAX to a three and out, the team went on to the field and into the huddle without a QB. Fischer "bee-lined it" over to Young and seemed to have a little bit of an argument with him on the sideline and "basically threw him onto the field."

Four plays later he partially tore his MCL on a bootleg and is out 2-4 weeks.
This is an incredibly interesting story considering the man almost retired after his 2006 Rookie of the Year campaign. ( http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080907/COLUMNIST0202/80907012/1027 )
He has some serious issues if the fans booing him after he throws an interception get under his skin to the point that he's going to give up. Grow the F up. You think it's bad in Tennessee? Come up to Philly and I'll show you how to make someone feel unappreciated.

If you're going to pussy-foot it around like your mom yelled at you after you throw an interception, maybe you should retire...you freaking 12 year old.
You're an unbelievably talented athlete (not a talented QB) who despite throwing twice as many interceptions as touchdowns last year...STILL led his team to the playoffs. How you did that is beyond me, but it says something about your desire to win.
Pick your head up, be a role model and get the F on the field.
