What the hell happened to the Titans?

Vince Young may restart the HOF journey soon.

Go dig up the threads I made about Vince back in February. I told people KERRY COLLINS IS STILL KERRY COLLINS. Vince deserves another chance to start and prove himself. If he bombs, then the Titans know he aint got it, and can cut their losses. But with the money he's making currently (on the bench) they'd be fools not to give him 1 last chance under center. Hell the season is OVER. He cant be any worse than the way Collins is playing right now, which is downright pathetic. His lack of mobility makes it even worse.

Well if Kerry Collins is that bad and Young still can't beat him out, then why in the hell should anybody believe that Young is the future? Could it be that the Titans lost their best defensive player and their DC, and that's really the bigger problem?

There's a good article on PFT about this right now... they make a good argument too... If Fisher goes with Young at QB now... the rest of the team might see that as a sign of giving up on the season, correctly or not. 0-4 is bad enough, but perceiving that your coach has given up would be rough.

Jeff Garcia couldn't beat out Jamarcus Russell. I guess its safe to assume Russell is better right? Collins is garbage, look at his numbers. He definitely aint the future and hasn't won a game this year, its time to give Vince another shot. If the roles were reversed and Vince were 0-4 and was puttin up Collins #'s a change would be made. You can't blame the D for Collins being a statue in the pocket. His o-line aint givin him that perfect protection they did last year, rendering him useless.

Young is what someone chose as a carbon copy when they made Jamarcus Russell: A wildly successful QB in college who could just as easily run it as pass it. Put them in the NFL, and their game just doesn't compute. When he's 1 of maybe 3-5 truly elite athletes on the field, he is amazing (as in college). When he's 1 of 22 elite athletes, he struggles to be mediocre.

Good post. I agree completely.

In college he didn't need to have the mental abilities of a star NFL quarterback because he could make plays using his athleticism. That doesn't work as well when you have all of the best that played in college on the other side of the field.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
