So what's this I hear about Vince Young throwing his pads into the stands at some fans when he got pulled? Later last night I saw a crawl on the bottom of another network..."Coach Fisher says Vince Young is done as a starter whether he's hurt or not".
I was outside grilling for the 3rd and most of the 4th quarter so I came back to see some mystery QB playing. :D

A sprained thumb that's going to require surgery and will keep him out the rest of the year.
Can't defend VY's behavior at all yesterday. The guy needs to grow up already.
NFLN said torn thumb tendon last night.
I've actually had that SAME injury...painful one. My tendon was ripped completely in half...could not move my thumb. It could not be repaired (one they're torn in half, they're done, re-attachments can be done though. I had to have that joint (one right at the web part of the thumb) fused with 2 screws. Now it's fine, but it was a long healing process. Your other surrounding joints adapt to make up for the loss of mobility in that one. There are 3 joints in your thumb...one that moves your tip, one by the webbing and the one no one thinks about down near your wrist. The middle one is the one involved.
But he's done for the year for sure.

So what was the deal with VY and why has he been benched? If your going to say because he is black please do not respond.

Remember the debates ...who is better, Vince Young or Matt Leinart?
They matched up in a great National Championship game after dominating college careers. They have different skills sets but were both leaders in their own ways. The draft discussions were endless. There were people on the side of each guy, it was tough to choose one of the two.
It's still tough to figure out who is better. :D

Definitely seems like Fisher has never felt comfortable/confident with Young as his QB, but it has nothing to do with race. Young needs a change of scenery and he needs to act, well act more like Donovan did when he got pulled two weeks ago. Wouldn't surprise me to see Fisher get a change of scenery as well. Might just be time for a fresh start in Tennessee. Wonder if Fisher will end up in Dallas?

Reggie Bush? LOL.
At least Bush has proven that the Saints have some need for him. He did have a punt return TD in the playoffs last year and brings a valuable element to their offense.

And Young channeled his inner Patrick Roy Sunday. Never thought we'd be the ones to do it. :D
