    Titans worried about his mental state of mind.

    Will miss next 2-4 weeks due to a sprained knee.

    Vince thought about retiring after his first season in the NFL. Titans have had troubles tracking him off the field.

    Titans pick up Chris Sims.

    Some people think he is alright in the head but has a bad attitude. For example, most people know by now he was boo'ed after his pick but it wasn't because of the throw. It was because after he threw it he walked slowly to the sidelines, ignored the coaches, and just put his head down.

    However, there have been reports over the years that he struggles with pressure and it may be too much for him. He may very well be depressed and I do not want to pick on him.

    Honestly, he is a terrible QB and will never be good but depression is more serious than W's and L's.

    I hope depression isnt an issue. Thats a bad sickness. I have first hand experience with a close friend who ended up taking his life because of it.

    Looks like there is at least smoke here. And no, depression is not something to be taken lightly, its real and causes very real problems:

    The Tennessean is reporting that Young “spent time with a psychologist” before disappearing for more than four hours Monday evening. The psychologist told the Titans that Young was extremely depressed and there was reason to be concerned about him, the newspaper reported.

    “Given the totality of the situation, coach (Jeff) Fisher was concerned about Young’s emotional well-being,” a Nashville police spokesman said.

    ...

    But someone from his home telephoned Fisher with information that alarmed Fisher enough to call police. Clearly someone thought Young was capable of harming himself.

    Once Young was found, he met with Fisher and convinced his coach everything was fine. But for a few minutes Monday, everything clearly wasn’t fine.

    I got a good question...

    What the hell is going on at UT that these guys come out this way.

    Remember Rickys first season with the Saints, kept his helmet on during interviews and just an overall weird SOB.
