bro. preach on. they need to get trent dil…..kerry collins out of there. put the rock in VY’s hand and lets see what happens, i think there is a chance of it having a huge upside.

Jeff Fisher

Mike Heimerdinger

Kerry Collins

At this point, I don’t believe VY is mentally ready to take back the starting job.

Every time I see him, he looks like he doesn’t want to be out there. I realize he only gets to play in garbage time but he needs to take advantage of the opportunity. If he plays well doing that time, it forces the coaching staff to start him again.

Remember back during his rookie year? When the team’s offense wasn’t doing well, he came in and led the team and gave them a spark. All the offense’s players seemed to respond to him very positively back then. But when you look at him go into games now, he doesn’t look like he is trying to take back the job.

I think he is writing off this season and I won’t be surprised if him & his agent refuse to re-do his contract so the team will be forced to let him leave.

Because Lord knows I highly doubt they will give VY 14 million dollars to stay next season… not when they can get a different QB in the draft and start over again…

But when you look at him go into games now, he doesn’t look like he is trying to take back the job

At least put him in situations to do it!!!

i can’t defend his play, and they even said all last week during the game everyone will blame collins for this performance because you can’t see why the guy threw for negative 7 yards and completed only 2 passes, there were at least 5 dropped passes, and that is inexcusable. So is Vince Young really the answer, the obvious response is no. But everyone is so upset with the entire team, yeah everyone wants to jump on the quarterback..it’s fine but you’re not seeing the whole picture. Collins regardless gives us the best chance to win, yeah don’t point out that we had two rookie corners vs two of the best wide receivers in the league. Yeah once again, everyone can’t see what’s right in front of them .

We should start VY at this point, this statement:

The number is not even close, the receivers drop the same amount of passes as another team.

I’m pretty sure is wrong. Football outsiders doesn’t track dropped passes, so I can’t prove it, but I think that our receivers have been dropping more than any other team I’ve personally watched this season.

This should’nt even be a conversation I watched VY the whole time at TX and he almost led ya’ll to the fricking playoff his ROOKIE season won ROY and got thrown under the bus,kicked the shit out of,for bad play (rookie) he comes in when the games are all but over, 0-6 and he’s supposed to want to be the starter for this team.hahaha….. ask yourself a question, would you??? HELL NO

I hope he goes somewhere else……please,please,please
he’s not going to sit back there and look like Peyton Manning (thats not who he is).people that gripe about him, go watch some old texas games,I been saying this whole time he should have been in there this whole time getting experience,I know the record wouldn’t be 0-6 and even if it was it was EXPERIENCE but know KC got tons of experience at what age and 0-6.pitiful

When Vince Young came into the game against Indy, how he stiff armed some dude into the grass..didn’t he lay there lifeless for a little too? As soon as I saw that I jumped up and yelled ’THAT’S WHY HE SHOULD BE STARTING!!’.

Does anyone know what I’m talkin about? I wish I had the video of it..can’t seem to find it..

Go to 2:45…awesomeness..the lone bright spot of the game.

is the only thing left of the season I’m still enjoying.

I will readily admit that I am the biggest Vince Young believer, but even in the clearest of my moments of rational clarity, I cannot understand Kerry Collins at QB at this stage of the proceedings.You can’t rebuild with Kerry Collins. But trotting the same offensive game plan won’t work either. There is a tissue thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. At this level, any QB, not just Vince, needs the full faith and support of the organization to succeed. I have never been convinced that this has happened here. It does seem that Fisher has completely given up on VY. If Vince does not start against the Jags, it is over between VY and the Titans. All joking about the body language aside, it may be that Vince is already getting counseling from his agent (part of the problem) that he does need to go out there and try to succeed in a system that is not structured for his success. Not only does VY have to start next week, but the offense has to be catered to exploit his strengths and support his weaknesses. Anything less than this is a waste of time for the Titans and Vince Young. Anything less is the end of the Titans and VY relationship. I am betting that VY and his agent have already answered the question, “Can I succeed in this organization under Jeff Fisher?” I think the answer has internally been a resounding “No!”. The only way to change this stalemate is a complete 180 by the organization on VY with full support. Anything less is a waste of time for both parties.

this is the same old topic. vy is a running qb. we don’t need a run game. for instructions on how to run talk to chris johnson. we need a passing game. kc is not the answer but i’m here to tell u that vy is by far not the answer. it’s time to part with both and look for something new. in 2006 vy’s success was due to the fact that we had a bad running game back then. we had lendale white and chris brown. lendale is a short yardage back but not much of a threat. people dont stack the box when preparing for lendale. chris brown was horrible. so vy came in and established a run game. but if you look back at it, all his highlights were big run plays. i for one want a qb who will pass first and run second not the other way around.

for all u vy lovers. explain his pedestrian preseason stats if he’s so great. he is not mentally ready for the nfl as a passer. he threw some really bad passes in the preseason. and last week his first pass was an int right to the pats d.

He is just another QB that cannot make it in the NFL. His passes are simply horrible. He has poor judgement, he passes when he should run and vice versa. He is not a bright guy and that is incredibly important at this level to make good decisions constantly. You mentioned that he was taken out last season. I think he took himself out by not wanting to come back in after being booed for his inept play. In my book, that is reason enough (insubordination) to not put him in anymore. Maybe he grew up in the off season, I don’t know. He needs to mature a LOT before ever taking another starting snap. Hopefully he has and that will serve to make him a better QB. The only reason that he might get the opportunity to play now is not because he is superior and will dominate opponents, but rather because Collins has not played good this year, basically by default only. For awhile Young was listed 3rd on the depth chart, thats how pathetic he was. Patrick Ramsey is gone, so that can’t even be an issue anymore. I remember how people all over thought he was the second coming of Christ in 2006 and how far has he fallen since then.

I might as well throw my two cents worth in. First off, college stats don’t mean squat at this level, hell Brady did not even start in college. The NFL is about production, plain and simple. Everyone in the league was a good college player. At this level you have to be mentally and physically tough, 16 games is a grind.

I, like a lot of fans, saw a lot of potential during VY’s rookie year. He made plays and the team responding to his energy. The next year he did not adjust to what teams did defensively, in my opinion we made the playoffs in spite of VY not because of him. Combine this with his failure to stay in Nashville during the offseasons, chosing to go back to Texas and live the college life some more.

That brings us to ‘08. I was at the Jax game, he quit. He pouted on the end of the bench after being booed for throwing his second pick. I know some fans don’t think you should boo your guys at this level but when you are paid the money these guys are it happens. It is part of the price you pay to be a professional athlete. When the D got the ball back, did VY jump up and grab his helmet? No, he sat his cry baby ass on the end of the bench. Fisher had to go to him and convince him to get over it, be a man and get back on the field. We know the rest, VY gets hurt, KC comes in, finishes the game and the Titans win. Then comes the ‘meltdown’. What ever the spin is something went down that night. No way does Fisher go looking for a player just because his momma can’t get him on the phone.

In my humble opinion VY lost the locker room that day. Players don’t respect team mates who pout and refuse to go back in the game. He was not the first player booed in the league nor the last. I can’t ever remember another freaking out and causing an allnight manhunt. How do you suppose his team mates felt that night and in the following days during the media frenzy?

I agree that KC is stinking it up this year and we probably should give VY another shot, if only to see if we can get something for him in trade.

I think Jeff has decided he can’t trust Vince. Bud may force his hand, but I have a hard time believing the vets respect VY as a leader or even a team mate. Those guys go thru hell to play this sport, sacrifiying the bodies and health to play a violent game that we all love to watch. VY may one day be a starter in the NFL, but I don’t see it coming in Nashville.

Datboydave, you have to be blind if you don’t think he quit on the Titans last year. His own Mother wrote a letter and criticized the boo birds for her baby boy. I have MY facts together when I said that Young was listed 3rd on the depth chart for a time. Where was my error? There isn’t one!!

If Mike Singletary and Tom Cable can make a switch at quarterback, then why can’t Fisher do the same?
