(CBS/AP)The Tennessee Titans were hurt by one big loss: quarterback Vince Young, who might be out for the season after tearing a tendon in his right thumb and storming out of the stadium minutes after tossing his shoulder pads into the stands.

After Young's latest meltdown, CBSSports.com senior writer Clark Judge says the quarterback doesn't deserve respect and it's time for the team to send him packing.

"Memo to Jeff Fisher: Start looking for another quarterback. I don't mean this season. I mean for next week. Vince Young's behavior Sunday convinced me the Titans ... and maybe anyone, for that matter ... can't win with the guy," Judge writes.

As players filed off the sideline, Young was seen undoing his shoulder pads, which he then threw into the stands. He and Titans coach Jeff Fisher talked in the locker room before Young left so quickly a security guard was nearly knocked over.

Titans safety Michael Griffin, also a teammate back at Texas in college, ran after Young in just his shorts. Young brushed him off before heading to the parking lot. Griffin was seen shaking his head as he walked back to the locker room.

Fisher wouldn't share what was said in the locker room, saying that was between himself, Young and the team. But Fisher said rookie Rusty Smith is his starter now.

"He threw half his uniform in the stands. I think clearly that is no way to respond, and so we have some things that we have to sort out with him," Fisher said. "He may need surgery. And if that's the case, he's done for the year."

Young's past personal problems make this story all the more disturbing, notes CBSSports.com's Josh Katzowitz. In 2008, Young disappeared for a few hours the day after he was booed by fans and tried to take himself out of a game against the Jaguars. Fisher urged him back in, but a few plays later, he injured his knee. The next day, Young was scheduled for an MRI, but he no-showed, and Fisher grew worried enough about Young's well being to call the police.

Young's mother said then that he was "hurting inside and out" and that perhaps Young was considering giving up the game. Young's agent claimed then that the story about Young's possible emotional problems had been blown out of proportions, but still, that incident two years ago had to be in the back of some of his teammates' heads as Young walked out of the stadium.
