The next chapter in the Vince Young saga is about how Young considered retirement after his rookie season with the Tennessee Titians. Young reportedly thought about retiring because the game no longer was fun and he was struggling from injury. However, Young now says that he no longer plans to retire prematurely.

Young was in the news recently for photos that made their way to the internet. In the photos, Young appeared topless and possibly drunk. A few days later, Young apologized for the photos.

All this Vince Young news can’t make fantasy owners too excited about his 2008 fantasy football season. Young was a poor fantasy quarterback in 2007 and his busy offseason hasn’t done much to end fears that 2008 could be another poor year for Young.

Right now, it appears that Young is a backup fantasy football quarterback in 2008. He’s a high-risk, high-reward type player at the moment.

Vince Young has offered an apology for the topless and apparently drunk pictures that were posted on the internet earlier in the month. Young’s apology was directed at kids who view him as a role model.

Although Young apologized, he also said that he won’t stop having fun in the offseason. While that is certainly understandable, it doesn’t ease the concern that fantasy football owners and the Tennessee Titans have about the young quarterback.

Young is immensely talented but he also has a lot of work to do to improve enough to be a solid quarterback in the NFL. His instincts are great and by all accounts he is a great leader, but his mechanics and ability to read the field need work. Whether he’s putting in the required time sharpening his football skills in the offseason is something only he knows for sure.

For now, Young’s fantasy football stock is a little bit lower than it was a couple months ago, however he still remains someone of a sleeper in 2008 at the quarterback position.

Check out these pictures of Vince Young apparently drunk and certainly topless. I’m not exactly sure what Vince Young was doing. He was partying but it doesn’t look like a very enjoyable party.

Matt Leinart’s party pictures got him in some trouble with his team. Will these Vince Young pictures get the Titans’ star quarterback in trouble? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Surely, the Titans coaches can’t be excited by what they see.

And while Leinart got criticized, at least he had females at his party. There are no chicks visible in Vince Young’s party — not that there is anything wrong with that, of course.

This may or may not make you think twice about picking Vince Young to quarterback your fantasy football team in 2008.

At least Vince Young Doesn’t Look Drunk Here.
