Arkansas Bengal Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 No thanks--we've gotten rid of all the thugs/head cases (although the jury is still out on Pacman). We sure as hell don't need to start signing knucklheads again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigris Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I liked Young coming out but didn't think he was a selfish prick. He'll probably get signed by the Patriots and go on to win 7 Super Bowls and be inducted into the HOF before he even retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mroby85 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd take a shot on him if he'd sign a low risk contract, then just cut him if he starts acting like an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an OK 2 years with 10 TDs, which is nothing to sneeze at - but reportedly he's a locker room killer. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well this season and is going to be here next season. Nothing indicates he causes any problems in the locker room, though he did have some slight incident at a bar or something semi-recently. Which is why there's no way in hell we sign Titus Young, though he is better than Calvin Johnson [url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/04/titus-young-recently-boasted-hes-better-than-megatron/"]http://profootballta...-than-megatron/[/url] [b] Titus Young recently boasted he’s better than Megatron[/b] [color=#666666][font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif][size=1] Posted by Mike Florio on February 4, 2013, 10:47 PM EST[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif][size=4] [img]http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/350x-52.jpg?w=250[/img][color=#999999][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1][i][right]Getty Images[/right][/i][/size][/font][/color][size=1] [size=3]The Texans have learned the hard way that they shouldn’t have cut receiver [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4239/jacoby-jones"]Jacoby Jones[/url].

Who you talking to?’ I said, ‘Come on, you’re as good as that guy? This guy is the real deal.’ And he really believes this. And he was sincere about it. ‘Ah man, [url="http://www.freep.com/article/20130204/SPORTS01/130204062/detroit-lions-cut-titus-young"]I’m better than him[/url].’ I said, ‘No you’re not. Be real man.

bengals8580 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 We need to sign a guy with actual talent. Not a bunch of low talent guys like we already have. Not going to get it done with what we have as our #2 WR. Sanu was coming on but I dont know if we can count on him to take the next step. Would love to see them go out and get a proven WR in FA if that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyrid Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 [quote name='bengals8580' timestamp='1360043082' post='1213126'] We need to sign a guy with actual talent.

Looks to me like the FA WRs all fall into one of two categories, not good enough to help or looking for $10M dollars. Guys like Bowe, Jennings and Wallace would all look good in stripes, but aren't worth the price tags. It looks like a pretty deep WR class. Would love to see one of the first three picks spent on a WR. And I agree with everyone else, young is a head case and that is the last thing this team needs. With all of our cap space, young talent and extra draft picks, we don't need to try to cut corners to add talent like some other teams might. We can add a talented WR without overpaying or destroying the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincity Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Fuck him!!! He INTENTIONALLY ran the wrong routes. when you have teammates calling you out, then you know that person is a cancer.

[/quote] You could be right but I thought I read that he intentionally lined up wrong as in he was lining up as the #1 option when he was supposed to be a #2 or #3 option. Reading his quotes, that's what I got out of the whole situation anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, Father Marvigan, don't take the bait on this one. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/rams-place-titus-young-waivers-203636556--nfl.html yea they cut him the other day. As I understand it, they put in the waiver claim so that they'd have a few days to "interview" him and get to know him without fighting for his services on the free agent market. They apparently didn't like what he had to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Numbers| Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1531064-is-titus-youngs-nfl-career-over "Like I said I never been selfish but if I'm not going to get the football i don't want to play anymore." Young has been sent home by the team on three different occasions -- once for punching teammate Louis Delmas during an offseason workout program, then twice for repeated insubordinate behavior. In November, Young allegedly lined up in the wrong position on purpose in a game against Green Bay, something he later denied. Coach Jim Schwartz deemed Young's behavior "unacceptable." Pre-draft training, Titus Young was told that he ran a 4.6 40 in warmups. Threatened to beat up an intern, was thrown off the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
