Vince Young a portrait of immaturity
by Bryce Martin

How can Vince Young think anyone would care if he had retired after his rookie season?

One blogger commented he'd retire too if he threw the football as poorly as Young. Another said he probably changed his mind only after he found out he'd have to give most of his money back to the Titans.

Young got little sympathy from readers regarding his admission in a recent interview to wanting to chuck it all when his comfort zone closed like a zone trap after replaying Year I of the NFL in his mind.

Personally, I wouldn't care if it meant not seeing him sulking on the sidelines after a benching for oversleeping and other team infractions. He always says he is just displaying his emotions, those that he has because he is such a competitor. Really? I could have sworn I saw a whiny kid.

Now he comes up with this "I thought about retiring" gambit. Retiring from what? Quitting is a better word. And for him, it is still a decent option.

Young's immaturity level is now apparent. It's just above the mercury bowl near 0. Immature kids commit suicide with the idea that the world will be sorry, that the world will sorely miss them when they're gone.

Young's mistake is thinking that anyone would care about his career suicide.

He needs to grow up, whether he can ever throw a football well or not.
