I've got that beat: He's my #2 to Mike Vick and I was counting on several years of solid, if unspectacular fantasy performances to balance out Vick's highs and lows.
This seems odd to me too. Even if McNair goes and they sign Young or Leinart one would think that Volek could be a mentor for a couple of years on the outside, probably more like a year realistically. So would it be Collins and Volek battling it out for #1 and the rook at #3?
My other 2 QB's are the fraBULGERile and Martin combo fro St looie.(I did trade Big Ben last year for what turned out to be the 1.11 rookie pick in 2006. DOH!)I've got that beat: He's my #2 to Mike Vick and I was counting on several years of solid, if unspectacular fantasy performances to balance out Vick's highs and lows.
Maybe they saw last year that Voleks initial moment in the sun was just a fluke?(50 of 88 for 474. 4 TDs and 2 INT in 2005). Maybe Volek does not really understand Chow's version of the offense?This seems odd to me too.

FWIW.............This was on the Sportscenter NFL Draft Special.......Michael Smith reported it.I did not make it up.
Cmon he played 1 game i think and with most of the offense injured , give the guy a break.Maybe they saw last year that Voleks initial moment in the sun was just a fluke?(50 of 88 for 474. 4 TDs and 2 INT in 2005).

I don't understand the whole "Volek is crap!" sentiment either.It wasn't much more than a year ago and plenty of people thought Volek as good enough to fight for a starting position somewhere based on 8 starts and a QB rating of 87. Last year the guy gets one start and has a QB rating of 77 and suddenly everyone thinks he should consider himself lucky to be in the league.Cmon he played 1 game i think and with most of the offense injured , give the guy a break.Maybe they saw last year that Voleks initial moment in the sun was just a fluke?(50 of 88 for 474. 4 TDs and 2 INT in 2005).

You might want to update that. Frerotte is the #2 in StL. Martin is wandering the FA road.
Why the "loco"?I think it's crazy to throw rookie QBs into action especially by teams that can't protect them. If I were a TEN fan I'd much rather have Collins/Volek as my starter and let Leinart come in off the bench in limited action rather than be thrown to the wolves if there's a QB injury and have the rookie QB with a ton of $ invested playing behind a suspect line. Alex Smith would probably agree with me.So would it be Collins and Volek battling it out for #1 and the rook at #3?
this is an insult to the mobility of blocks of cement everywhere!Collins has the big arm and is about as mobile as an average block of cement. The Titans will start one new tackle (replacing Hopkins) and a new center - albeit perhaps an upgrade over the last one.
Collins spent most of last year dumping off to LaMont Jordan - he should be able to dump off to the TEs as well. he had a 53% completion percentage (25% of which were dump offs to Jordan) with a 20 to 13 TD/INT ratio
I'd say that he might have a few more yards than McNair did (given Givens>Brandon Jones or Courtney Roby) but a lot more sacks.
88 pass attempts in one game - must have been one heck of a game...Volek played more than just sparingly in three games, all losses by a combined score of 33 to 84. In those three games he never had a completion percentage higher than 58. Maybe he just ain't that good?Cmon he played 1 game i think and with most of the offense injured , give the guy a break.Maybe they saw last year that Voleks initial moment in the sun was just a fluke?(50 of 88 for 474. 4 TDs and 2 INT in 2005).

You do realize before the SD game(when Moss got injured) Collins qb rating was 94.5, 92.9, 99.8 and 88.7 in the first four games of the season?
In my leagues Collins was the 10th highest scoring qb last year - that would make him a marginal starter in a 10-12 team league, decent in a 16 team league and golden in a 32 team league. Wasn't Moss decoy most of the games anyway (he'd catch a few bombs and then disappear).I think you are being a bit harsh here
If the Titans sign Collins, Volek won't even be on the roster
and this comes from where? Trade rumors from bongo? This thread started with the supposition that Collins is rumored to be signed because McNair would be released and that is what the subsequent posts have talked about as well.No, it would leave Collins and the #3 draft pick on the roster.Volek would be dealt or released.
That would leave Collins and Volek on the roster.
well you are the first person to associate that to this thread and I don't think it's a lock like you do. And Volek might be traded but I doubt he'd be released.No, it would leave Collins and the #3 draft pick on the roster.Volek would be dealt or released.

There arent alot of people knowledable about the Titans here. WMI hasnt commented. People are still drooling over Volek's 2004 season without realizing how horrible he is, or that the Titans are disinterested in keeping him in the present or in the future.well you are the first person to associate that to this thread and I don't think it's a lock like you do.

Because they signed him after the 2003 season when he only had one career start?He got slightly above average backup money, when they thought he was the QB of the future. The team does NOT think that now.
Well that's interesting to hear. I appreciate the contrarian viewpoint.The Titan fans I asssociate with go on and on about how good he is/was and how they could easily get a 1st for him.There arent alot of people knowledable about the Titans here.

I think the Titans are willing to stick Volek in there for 5-6 games and let Leinart get ready, but under no circumstances will he be the QB there for an entire season.I also think the Titans would LOVE an upgrade to Kerry Collins (depending on price of course) and would love to have him QB for a year while a Leinart or especially Young watches for a year.Well that's interesting to hear.

While I didn't fall for that I did believe he was somewhat in their plans at least as a stopgap while a rook developed, ala Chris Chandler.
But if what you say is true, a Collins signing, and a Leinart drafting, make a lot more sense.
Sorry, I can't even comment on such a thing as signing Kerry Collins. I may be out in left field but I don't think it has anything to it.There arent alot of people knowledable about the Titans here.

besides the KFFL/ESPN linen concerning Kerry Collins coming in? I find nothing to authenticate here in Nashville.
Guess not...which is really good.Anyone have a link
I'd rather have Volek or Boller.
Id rather have Boller, but I dont want to have to watch Volek throw his 1 yard outs all game for 16 games in 2006.
Dude, I can KILL on those 1 yard outs.
I dont think we signed David Givens to have a bunch of 7-46 games.
This is from part of an article talking about Vince Young/Steve McNair in the Tennessean in Nashville........If McNair is released, there's no guarantee Volek would take over. One short-term solution the Titans are considering is bringing in former Raiders quarterback Kerry Collins, who is still on the market.Anyone have a link

Yes.Collins will be THE guy this year until Young is ready, we arent cutting him unless its before Sept 10th.See ya Volek, and good riddance you brittle POS.
Old fashioned scapegoating. Not that he's John Elway or anything, but someone has to take the fall for the OLine not being able to block and the D not being able to stop the run.Who's fault is that? Must be the new QB!
3400/21picked up Collins already so maybe I'm just a little biased/hopeful.
