Only three Active QBs have won 7 starts in a row (1 Viewer)

2008 season

In the first game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Young injured his knee and was expected to miss 2 to 3 weeks. On September 15, Jeff Fisher made the decision to go with Kerry Collins and for Collins to remain the starter for the rest of the season. Young would be the back up quarterback. [46]

 
Disappearance

On September 9, 2008, a distraught Vince Young left his home without his cell phone. The reasons given were that Young was upset over being booed by fans after throwing a second interception against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars the previous day and the sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee suffered four plays after head coach Jeff Fisher prodded him back into the game. Young postponed a doctor's examination till the following day. After speaking to members of Young's family, Fisher called Nashville police. After a four-hour search, they found Young, who agreed to meet with Fisher and police at the team's training facility.

Vince Young's agent, Major Adams, told ESPN reporter George Smith that he didn't know why the story has taken on a life of its own, and stated that the incident was "blown out of proportion" and called any perceived depression or emotional problems suffered by his client "unfounded."[50] However, Young's therapist told Fisher that Young mentioned suicide several times before driving away from his home with a gun, which prompted the Tennessee Titans to call the police.[51]

His mother, Felicia Young, however, has stated that her son is "hurting inside and out." [52]

 
Peyton ManningDrew BreesandVince YoungWhy did he lose his job again?
:porked: I love all of the W/L records that people put up for Vince Young. Did anyone forget that Kerry Collins won his first 9 starts last year and was 12-2 as the starter (he played one series week 17)? Also, he came in for an injured VY in week 1 and threw for 65 yards on what ending up being the GW TD drive.Vince is doing really well, but maybe, just maybe, the Titans haven't been an awful team. I don't think Collins is a world beater, but he has been just as successful in Tennessee and in 2008, if it weren't for their horrible fumbling against the Ravens, I think the Titans would have won the Super Bowl.
