Young: I wasn't going to quit
A recent nfl.com report suggesting he considered retirement after one season was "blown out of proportion," Vince Young said. Heading toward his third pro season, he said he's in a "much different place" mentally than he was at this time last year. Frustrations grew from the off-field pressures that come with being an NFL quarterback, and those were the things he wanted to escape, Young said. He wished he could be like Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison, and just not talk to the media at all.

Wishing you could be like a WR and not talk to the media...you are the franchise QB Vince talking to the media is an obligation and you better get used to it. I can't even imagine what the NY media would do to this kid.

The pressure for Vince to perform has to be intense. Unfortunately for him, a card board cut out of a receiver could rival their starters right now.

In wishing he could be like Harrison, does he wish he could be involved in a shooting as well?

Of course it was blown out of proportion. The NFL is by far our most popular sport. The scribes and talk show morons are desperate for something to blather about.
That picture of Vinnie surrounded by half-naked adoring men was disturbing though.

This is a lesson to think twice before you speak. I doubt Vince seriously thought about retiring. But you cant even make comments like that. Keep them to yourself..

Jeeze, all he was doing was just expressing his human side - news flash, an NFL player actually has fears and feelings!!! What is the world coming to!? These guys are supposed to play football and do NOTHING ELSE!!!

Give him a break. Of COURSE he was not going to retire! That was just him expressing frustration. We all do it. Haven't we all left work on occasion thinking, "Eff it. I don't want to do this anymore." Well...maybe not everybody has a fricking J-O-B, but you get my meaning.

Yes, and having a boat-load of cash in the bank has also gotta be intense. I mean all the access he must have to great cars, houses, the ability to travel....must be really intense...poor guy.

Everything that comes out this kids mouth or goes into it will always be blown out of proportion. I will never understand why we analyze everything a Jock says.

AAARedskins got it completely correct. Everytime I say something similar to that, everyone acts like I'm Satan.
