Vince Young's attitude in question

These days, the most prominent questions about Young are not about his health (The knee's fine, thank you) but about his attitude. Specifically, fans and those in the media keep noticing Young's conduct and body language on the sideline during games. He seems detached. He participates in pregame warm-ups then appears to retreat into his own little world after kickoff. When the offense comes off the field, you see starter Kerry Collins huddling with offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger as they examine photos of the opposing defense that are transmitted from the press box to the sideline. No. 3 quarterback Chris Simms is an interested participant. Young? He's usually found several steps away, uninvolved. He either doesn't want to be part of the process or is not invited. And I seriously doubt it's the latter. This makes a strange situation even stranger. During practice sessions, Young works extensively with the second-team offense. Since returning to good health, he has been listed as the No. 2 quarterback on game day. But even though he is just one snap away from being the Titans' quarterback again, he seems a million miles away during the game. At Titans Central, the party line remains that Young is merely doing what he should have been allowed to do as a rookie ? observe how a veteran quarterback conducts his business. But from the outside looking in, you must wonder if Young is maximizing this opportunity. Yes, looks can be deceiving, especially on TV, but Young certainly appears detached from this team. He needs to get with the program. There is a lot to learn. As an NFL game evolves, defenses make changes to counteract what the offense is doing. There are new alignments, new stunts, new blitzes. That's why the photos are such valuable learning tools. Look at it this way: If a 14-year veteran quarterback like Collins thinks it's important enough to study the photos and discuss them with his offensive coordinator, don't you think a third-year pro with 30 career starts like Young could learn a thing or two? Some have suggested that Heimerdinger come up with a hybrid Wild Titan formation as a change-up. Why not insert Young into the game, line him up in the shotgun and run some sort of run-pass option? In theory, this would add a new wrinkle to the offense. Beyond that, it would give Young the motivation to stay involved and engaged during the game.
