GOP Bill Would Strip Workers Of Overtime, Minimum Wage Protections
Last summer Vince Young missed many of the Titans' voluntary offseason workouts as he went back to Austin, Tex. to work on his degree. It may have been only a coincidence, but he then lost the starting job just a week into the season.If Young is going to ever regain that starting job, he took his first step in that direction this week. Young showed up for the voluntary workouts, and made it clear to Jeff Fisher that he intends to do everything he can this summer to earn back the starting job.
Lifting some weights and throwing some passes in shorts won't earn Young his job back, but at least he's doing the right things to try to get back into the team's good graces. Kerry Collins will be the team's starter in 2009 unless he either gets hurt or is completely ineffective, but with Chris Simms leaving in free agency, the Titans have a pretty strong incentive to try to get Young's problems fixed. They may be talking to never-were's like Patrick Ramsey, but Young is the team's only long-term option at quarterback, and this is an awful year to take a late-round quarterback with hopes of developing him into something.
If Simms had re-signed, the Titans could have moved on, but now Young is still the team's quarterback of the future. When your starting quarterback will turn 37 during the 2009 season, you have to have someone ready to step in. It looks like, once again, Young will be that man.
More than his occasional accuracy problems, Young will have to fix his relationship with his teammates if he's going to regain the starting job. When Young's demotion is written about, most reports mention his knee injury and Kerry Collins' solid play in his place is always mentioned. But no one seems to mention that Young refused to go back onto the field at one point in Week One last year before he was benched. And you don't see a lot of mentions as to how Young didn't seem to try to learn from his experience on the bench by talking with coaches and Collins during the game.
