The Houston Oilers became the Tennessee Oilers in 1997, then in 1999 they became the Titans. Since the Titans were born they have won two AFC South division titles in 2000 & 2002, and a Super Bowl XXXIV appearance. The Titans lost to the St. Louis Rams 23-16 in a thrilling Super Bowl game. Quarterback Steve McNair was the face of the Titans franchise it the late 1990′s and 2000′s, McNair was a key part of the Titans organization and lead them to back -to back 13-3 seasons in 1999 & 2000. In 2003, McNair was named Co-MVP with fellow quarterback Peyton Manning. In 1999 & 2000 McNair helped the Titans reached back -to back 13-3 seasons. After two bad seasons in 2004 with a record of 5-11 and in 2005 4-12, the Titans rebounded with a 10-6 record in 2007.

There have been a great group of players who have dawned the Oilers/Titans jersey which include quarterback/kicker George Blanda, running back Earl Campbell, who was the NFL MVP in 1979, five time Pro Bowl selection and three time NFL Offensive Player of the Year award winner, safety Ken Houston, and offensive guard Mike Munchak, all members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Tennessee Titans play in a difficult AFC South with the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars so winning the division will be so easy task to accomplish. The Titans have had wavering success the last few seasons and look to get back to their Super Bowl form.

Everything seemed like it was falling in place for the Texas star .  His hometown team the Houston Texans had the number one overall pick in the draft that year and Young seemed like the consensus lock to be the choice.  Young would fill the seats and bring excitement and victories to the Texans, a couple of things the Texans organization needed desperately.  Then came the in-depth NFL scout evaluations;  Young had a weird delivery with the football and Young scored severely low on the NFL wonderlic test.  The once can’t miss future NFL superstar had a couple of chinks in his armor.  One thing led to another, and Vince Young was drafted by the Tennessee Titans after being bypassed by the Texans.  It seemed like everything worked out perfectly for both sides because the Young had a lot of similarities to Steve McNair, who was traded shortly after to the Baltimore Ravens.  Young had the perfect coach in Jeff Fisher, who utilized McNair’s ability to perfection and the two almost won a Super Bowl together in 2000.

Things just haven’t worked out as most and definitely Young would have thought or liked.

The fans seemed to have turned on Young and become unhappy with up and down play on the field from him.  The boos from the fans have not helped with Young’s alleged extreme sensitivity to criticism.  And it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement when your mother, therapist, and others have come out to speak on your emotional stability.  A lot of these issues are hard for a starting NFL quarterback who also has a history with injuries to come back and be the leader of his team.

If your NFL teamates think that you are mentally weak and you are the starting quarterback, then there is a problem.  Look into former Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Kordell Stewart situation in Pittsburgh for a reference.  Right now Vince Young has a problem with keeping his starting job in Tennessee.  If that is the case he will have a problem keeping a starting job in the NFL period.
