Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young(The story of a Dullard)
Another thing... VY has a wife, large family, people who love him from Texas. The fact that he was unable to lean on all those positive people in his life and instead flipped out anytime he was criticized by a male authority is odd. He could of said that all the BS early on screwed up his development and that he wasn't given the time or opportunity to develop after TN. That the distractions were too much, that he couldn't handle it. Instead, he gives weak excuses like he's being cut because teams didn't want to associate with his baggage? That's ridiculous. He just wasn't good enough at that point. A small detail that I did notice, and this may be looking way too much into this: his family noted that in HS, kids who used to make fun of him starting being his friend when he got notoriety as a QB. The dude was a starting QB, super big and athletic. Guys like that don't tend to get picked on, even if they aren't nationally known. It did make me wonder about his personality -- that his peers smelled weakness in him despite his physical gifts. -

Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young(The story of a Dullard)
Oh, I agree. I didn't mean the locker room (every coach has players that support them), I meant everyone involved on the "documentary." Certainly friends and family are biased towards VY. Lendale was also criticized for being fat and lazy too, partying too much and drinking his tequila. Scaife comes across as pretty reasonable, being someone who played with VY in both college and the pros and who knew the difference in VY under different coaches, but he's obviously too close of a friend. I have no idea if the producers purposely aimed to craft Fisher into the villain of the story just for storytelling purposes, or if through speaking to everyone around they felt he was a villain. But they definitely painted a picture of a college coach who was empathetic and supportive and got a smart, hardworking VY. In contrast, they left a ton of breadcrumbs to insinuate that Fisher was a petty, ego-driven HC who wanted VY to fail, and actively tried to speed up that failure. They cast Fisher as a backstabbing saboteur who purposely created a culture of distrust. They even left crumbs to insinuate that Fisher's ego was threatened by VY's cultural popularity. I'm not saying all that is true; it's just how the producers presented the story. They easily could have showed all the things Fisher did to support VY and develop him, but they chose not to.
