I just read this on ESPN. I'm completely shocked.

I'm trying to understand this too. At least VY played well in the preseason.....that can only help his reputation around the league.

Twitter response: Brian Stansbury @stansbury "Seriously? The @packers cut @vinceyoung??? Guess I can go back to ignoring that franchise." #mistake

The decision to cut him, confirms my suspicions (during the game the head coach's demeanor towards Vince during interactions was contentious)

Aaron, what were u able to pick up watching that game?? I didn't watch it but it seemed to me that VY outplayed Coleman in that game and through out the preseason.

this is fucked up. if they had brought him in earlier, he would have easily been way better and there would be no doubt about him being the backup.
after the game on thursday, i would say when i saw them rotating QBs, i felt very unsettled. uneasy, i should say. fucking sucks. hate that this happened ot him this way. fortunately there are many teams with QB issues right now, but this will be a blow to his reputation. i don't know what to say or think about his future

@freshmanx, yeah Vince outplayed Coleman big time(Coleman threw an INT after all).
I didn't like the feel of the game. (Vince having to play with 2nd stringers, with the O-line doing jack shit)
@joan, I also felt very uneasy. The fact that they stopped putting Coleman in during the second half, made me think of the Harrell extended playtime (previous game), where they cut him after the game too.

here is what some are saying who share our view:
Here’s who’s gone and what we thing about it. We’ll updated as we hear more.
Quarterback Vince Young — this move is inexplicable to us because Young performed better than any of the other quarterbacks not named Aaron Rodgers in the preseason. (http://www.totalpackers.com/2013/08/31/guys-cut-packers/)
Anyway. I am quite empty after this. I thought he had a real shot, because they would give him time. But in the end, they never gave him the time he needed. He was there for <30 days, competing with guys how have been there for 2-3 years, and throwing to WRs who are by and large cut. I am going off the grid and not think about this for a while. Very frustrating. Now he will only get a shot if someone has an injury. I think he should start perparing himself for a post-NFL career, and treat any start with a team as purely opportunistic. He is just not being given the chances that he need, which includes enough time to get comfortable in a system. And he is a guy who needs a lot of reps to forget the technicalities and be completely 'in the game'. Frustrating.

After seeing the TD drive in the last game- complete with two good runs- leaves me feeling SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED that he got cut. Especially considering he outplayed the competing qbs.

This is how my girlfriend (we both watched the USC vs Texas Rose Bowl game live) feels about Vince getting cut:

On Thursday VY looked like a QB who learning a new system and playing behind a piss poor o-line. I said before he went to packer it would very hard for him to win a spot with just 3 weeks of time . I will not judge VY ability in this situation.
