It appears to me that Vince Young's emotional problems stem from playing quarterback and not from playing football. If his emotional distress is such that he no longer wants to play football, his friends and family should mention the example of Rick Ankiel, and ask him if he would still enjoy playing football at a position other than quarterback. If not, hopefully he will get the emotional support he needs to do what is best for him and walk away from football.

He says he was upset as he dealt with his first serious injury, and he didn't realize he had to tell his mother where he was going anymore.
At least he still has his sense of humor.
