    Riders in talks with Vince Young

    REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders are reportedly in contract discussions with former NFL quarterback Vince Young, according to Young’s agent Leigh Steinberg.

    Steinberg, who announced on Wednesday he would represent Young during his football comeback, tweeted the news on Thursday afternoon:

    Sounds like camp fodder, can he have anything left in the tank for a pass happy league?
    Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    I sure doubt it. A last hurrah that won't be.

    I'm glad I opened up the thread to read the op, because using 'Riders' in the title only narrowed it down to about eight teams.

    Somehow, the suggestion that the Bills go after Cutler ended up NOT being the worst QB idea of the day.

    We never had teams with the same name. One was the Roughriders the other was the Rough Riders.

    Just like pro basketball never had 2 teams with the same name in the ABA/NBA days. There were the Houston Rockets and the Denver Rockets. One team's name started with Houston & the other team's name started with Denver.

    Re: Riders in talks with Vince Young

    Vinces issue was his talent. His arm strength was weak, he read the field horribly, and he got figured out

    Russel had a better shot because imo he was an elite QB who didn't give a ****. Russels biggest issue was his drive, but if he put in the work and allowed himself to succeed, he would of been elite

    Saskatchewan’s signing of Vince Young last week was the buzz of the professional football world and for good reason. The Riders have brought in one of the biggest names in the sport over the last decade as Young tries to re-launch his career.

    I’ll be honest; I don’t think it’s going to work out. But because there’s next to no risk here, why not take a shot if you’re Saskatchewan?

    Risk assessment

    Jamie Nye wrote a great piece last week that sums things up pretty nicely. Young’s signing is a Hail Mary of sorts, but one with very little risk accompanying it. As I said, I’m really not anticipating this to work out and usually I’d ask, “why even bother?” But in this case, with a player like Young, I’m kind of interested to see if I’m wrong.

    So why am I so skeptical of a signing months before the first ball in training camp has ever been snapped? Well, in this case, I’m mixing in a steady dose of history with Young’s unique circumstances and the situation he’s walking into. Truth be told, I think he’s got a lot to conquer to make this CFL foray a successful one.
    More.

    SASKATOON — Vince Young’s comeback with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders is on hold.

    The length of the delay is now the biggest question.

    The 34-year-old quarterback injured a hamstring during Tuesday’s practice at Griffiths Stadium on the University of Saskatchewan campus.

    Young pulled down the football and scrambled for a first down during a double-barrel session, but then pulled up lame, walked off the field and sat down on the ground. He left shortly afterward, walking to the locker room with a member of the training staff.

    Chris Jones, the Roughriders’ head coach and general manager, didn’t know the severity of Young’s injury immediately after practice. Jones also wasn’t sure what the injury would mean to Young’s availability for Saskatchewan’s pre-season opener, Saturday at Mosaic Stadium against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
    Young’s injury also could mean a return to the Roughriders for quarterback Jake Heaps, who attended the team’s mini-camp in Vero Beach, Fla.

    Heaps was released by Saskatchewan after that April camp so that he could sign with the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, but they cut him earlier this week. Jones confirmed the Roughriders have been in touch with Heaps’ representatives, but it’s unclear if the QB will rejoin the team.

    If he can't play this week in preseason, then he is probably done.

    4-6 weeks. I will say it is over.

    I wonder if Kaepernick will want a shot up here if nobody signs him down there.
