I know. But if he does start from week 1 and plays all year it's not out of the question.

Kerry Collins...
1. Has thrown 21 or more TDs twice in his career.
2. WIll be an immobile QB behind a mediocre-to-bad Oline
3. Throwing to perhaps the worst set of WRs in the AFC
4. Without the benefit of camp to learn the playbook.
....and you think he's going to toss 21 TDs?
I'd say he'll go 1600 and 11 before he becomes Vince's backup for the next 3 seasons.

the whole point of bringing collins in is because they DONT want young to play this season. and nice stats, you didn't mention that collins has also thrown for 3,000 yards in 6 consecutive seasons.

Yeah, actually I think it is. He's thrown for 21 or more twice in his career. This guy started playing in 1995. He was 20/12 last year with the Raiders, and they threw a lot. Fisher has already said that he plans to run the ball as much as possible. And I reeeealllly don't think the Titans have the O-line to protect this guy.I find it hard to believe he's a better option than Volek, and I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he beats Volek out, or starts all season long.

Positives: Quicker in his reads. Better arm. Better at the long ball.Negative: Not mobile.

I'm not 100% convinced that Collins will beat out Volek here. I am going to offer another take on this:
1. Vince Young is not ready yet and needs a lot of work from the coaching staff.
2. Volek also needs a lot of time from the coaching staff since he did not start last year.
3. Kerry Collins instantly gives the team another guy who knows this position (both as a mentor and a quasi-coach).
I see Volek as the #1. Collins as the #2. Vince as the #3 but getting some playing time during the season. Maybe I am blinded here, but I don't see why the Titans would go with Collins here. He might be better than Volek, but clearly is not the future. I think he has been brought in so that there is NO PRESSURE to get Young on the field this year if they don't feel he is ready.

Collins was smart to stick to his guns. He got his money.

With this offense and without a full camp to learn the offense, I think it's out of the question.
