VY in Buffalo?

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks recently posted an article regarding the potential fits for Titans quarterback Vince Young. Although he is still under contract, the Titans have stated that they will release or trade the six-year veteran once the lockout concludes. Undoubtedly, someone will take a flyer on the 28-year old quarterback, despite the fact that his career has been marred by off-the-field incidents, poor attitude, and lack of confidence. However, Young is also a winner. Brooks notes that his career record as a starter is 30-17, and the Titans are a mere 15-18 without him. He is actually coming off of one of the best seasons in his career, completing just under 60% of his passes, with ten touchdowns versus three picks.

Brooks lists the Bills as one of five potential fits for Young, the others being Miami, Oakland, Philadelphia, and Green Bay. Here's what Brooks had to say about a possible Bills/Young pairing:

Chan Gailey's previous success with Kordell Stewart and Tyler Thigpen would make the addition of Young an intriguing scenario. Gailey loves to build his system around the talents of his triggerman, so Young might find comfort working within the Bills' wide-open scheme. AlthoughRyan Fitzpatrick has been productive as the team's starter over the past two seasons, the chance to add another explosive option could help the team compete in the tough AFC East.

I'm not sure if head coach Chan Gailey would be interested in a player, especially a quarterback, who has had some issues mentally, regardless of his athleticism. Nonetheless, it must be noted that Ryan Fitzpatrick's contract expires after the 2011 season, leaving the Bills in the market for a quarterback yet again. Bringing in Young might give him a year to get accustomed to the offense, however, being the competitor that he is, I can foresee Young voicing his pleas to start by mid-season. At the end of the day, although I do believe that Gailey could have some success with VY, I don't think the Bills will be in the leading mix for him.
