The Packers took Cobb after the Lions had wasted a second round pick ( 2nd year in a row / J. Best) on Young.

Mayhew just throwing those 2nd rounders away!

Not many players have a perfect personality or no baggage, the Lions have a problem situation here that needs a bit more of an objective response than just tossing him out with the trash.

I don’t agree with Titus’ choice of how to deal with this situation, but I do understand his pain. And understanding where a player is coming from is half the battle. All players have some sort of flaw or problem to deal with on a personal level, and the Lions would best be served by figuring out an appropriate way to solve this one and if they aren’t prepared to handle the situation then they should have thought about that before drafting the kid. There is more than one way to skin a lion, and exile is not Detroit’s best option here.

There’s really not much in comparison.

Carter had personal problems that included addiction.

Young is only addicted to his reflection and is barely worthy to hold Carter’s jock.

Titus Young Jr (whoever that is) must be embarrassed by Sr.

Are you serious? Logic says that’s his son.

What’s with the thumbs down? Did I miss something?

A quick search of “Titus Young” and “son” gave me this:

Titus Demetrius Young Jr., who was born Saturday, August 11, 2012 and weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces and measured 19 inches.

I can’t believe that “HE” really said this. Unless, he just wants out of Detroit and will do anything to achieve his goals. Even then, there are better ways to getting moved to a new team. UNCONSCIONABLE

What locker room would want him now?

What does he think is going to happen? Schwartz is going to call him up and say “Titus I saw your tweet. Please come back, you’re going to be the No. 1 receiver.” Guess again Titus.

He just wants to be team player and help the “team” win. That seems to be the excuse these days…tweeting before thinking (or before consulting with their PR/agent).

I sure will not miss his flutter hand to the sky after EVERY single catch. The craziest thing about this is that he just finished his second year and has the leagues best receiver next to him. He still got the ball thrown his way too…

That pretty much defines selfish, doesn’t it?

I don’t think he’s going to be missed.
