Taking the starting job halfway of last season and leading the Tennessee Titans away from consecutive losses to winning streak, quarterback Vince Young is now full of confidence with his future and does not seem worried about the high expectation on him at all. Actually, he is enjoying it.
“A lot is expected of me, I know that. I embrace it," Young said. “I’ve faced some things in my four years that passed, and now I feel like I am more at home. I paid my dues and now I feel I can say a little bit more, do a little bit more."
Passing for 1,879 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions last season, Young resurrected his career after regaining starting job from disappointing Kerry Collins, who replaced Young as a starter after Young disappointed the club in 2008 season. Increasing winning rate to 26-13, Young now feels like he has a lot more to accomplish and aims at leading the Titans to the playoffs. He also wants to make it to the Hall of Fame one day by accomplishing what people do not believe him to be able to accomplish. Well, at age 27 and having just spent four seasons in NFL jersey, Young has many reasons to be that optimistic. He simply has the time and strength to prove himself.

Titans QB Young had tests on hamstring
After leading the Tennessee Titans to another win and chance to a new winning streak, quarterback Vince Young is not taking care of his right hamstring, which was mildly strained during last Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams.
The quarterback pulled up at the end of a 44-yard run, the longest of his career, during Sunday’s 47-7 win over the Rams. Being confident that his team would win, he did not appear again in his Titans jersey on field for the rest of the game. After having a variety of tests on the right hamstring, he was listed as day-to-day by Coach Jeff Fisher, who said that the injury was just a mild strain.
According to Fisher, Young will appear on the practice field on Wednesday to test how the hamstring works by then. The coach also said that Young will likely play on limited basis because it is unlikely he is in perfect condition by game time and the team does not want to take the risk of aggravating the injury.

Young made it to help Titans win first game of season
Seeming to prove his edge over Kerry Collins, Vince Young successfully brought a long expected win to the Tennessee Titans, also proved Coach Jeff Fisher to be wrong in insisting that Collins gave the team more chance to win.
Getting rid of 0 from record finally, now 1-6 Titans believe that Young is the very starting quarterback in Titans jersey for remaining nine games. Fans were right and Owner Bud Adams was right when they said that they preferred Young to Collins as the Titans starting quarterback before Sunday’s game and forced Fisher to change his mind to give the starting job to Young, in time before Collins might lead the team to the seventh loss of the season.
“We’ve got to find out how he’s developed over the last two years,” Adams said after the game. “He hasn’t played that much. We’ve got to get him in and find out what he can do. Otherwise we’re going to have a high draft choice, and we’re going to be looking for another quarterback.”
One win may be incidental, and now what Young needs to do is to play more games to show how much he’s really grown and whether he’s worth expectation.

Titans QB Young is near to failure or success
QB Vince Young was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 draft and selected by the Titans. He was then compared Steve McNair — his talents in football would bring wins to the Titans.
But in 2008 season, Titans' win did not come from Young but from Kerry Collins. This made the originally promising QB rather frustrated. He recently told WMAR-TV in Baltimore that he might change career if the team does not think him valuable.
He was wrong. It is not time to be show self-pity. His talent was already proved, what he needs to do from now on is to work hard on proper fundamentals. He has fast legs, and he is in lack of polished play-making passing skills. It is important time now. If he makes the right decision, he will be approaching success.
