Tennessee Titans won't say which QB will start

By Mark J. Miller

“VinceTennessee Titans heach coach Jeff Fisher seems to think that shrouding his decision of which quarterback will start on Sunday will somehow make things more difficult for his opponent. He's saying that "competitive reasons" are keeping him from giving out that info till today. But no matter if Vince Young(notes) or Kerry Collins(notes) gets the start, the team is still among the worst in the league with an 0-6 record.

Fisher will supposedly make his big announcement today, according to the Tennessean. Fisher changed things up yesterday and wouldn't allow Young or Collins or offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger to talk to the media

The expectation is that Fisher will go with Young, since the team's owner has made it pretty clear that he would like to give the ball to Young and not keep going back to Collins, especially since the team hasn't found success there.

But we'll all just have to hold our breath and wait on the edge of our seats till Fisher comes out and finally makes the big decision public. Bet the suspense is killing you.

    Oh yes he can be....he has been, and I bet he still is. Collins is the best choice, as the team
    s problem is not QB.

    Collins and Young are both terrible at the moment so it really does not matter, plus they have no one who can catch the ball even if they make a good pass. Just let Young play the rest of the season, finish 0-16, or 1-15, I am sure they can beat the Rams, and get a top pick in next year's draft and try and pick the best QB this time. Face it, Young was not the best choice a few years back, should have picked the hometown favorite Cutler. And for those who do not know, Young was drafted b/c Bud Adams wanted him not Fisher. Let Young go and open up the wallet Bud and use that enormous amount of salary cap room you have and get a friggin top notch WR. WTF!

    What differance does it make who they put in the season is over already for us so alternate them and make them earn there money . I think as bad as the Titans have been this year that all of us PSL holders should get in free to every game next season after all they didn't bother to play this year and they owe us a year!!! Bud is to damn cheap to have a first rate team we only prime player to go to other teams once they ask for more money. I wanto sell my PSL but right now I can't give it away!!!

    Love your comment "bet the suspense is killing you". I got a good laugh out of that bet. For us that are Titans fans and season ticket holders, Fisher is about as exciting and suspenseful as "crap". It really doesn't matter who he "announces", he still will play "Fisherball" and lose. Dallas is more than welcomed to have Fisherball after this season. What we need and want is a whole new team and approach with new "offensive" minded coach, new quarterbacks, and REAL Wide Receivers. We have none now and it doesn't matter who the QB is, the WR's can be counted on to DROP the ball.

    Collins hasn't been the only problem for the Titans this season, but certainly is one of them. Still trying to figure out if this year's team is badly underachieving or did last season's team badly overachieve? Mine as well let Young start the rest of the season and see what he's got. He has to know his window is closing as a potential starting QB in the league, certainly closing as a member of the Titans. If you're going to get the best out of Young, now is the time to see if that best is good enough to be a legit QB in this league and finally have him live up to the hype around him.

    Put Young in, the Team is not playing good anyway. With a crummy OL like this He can just tuck the ball & maybe scramble for a few 1st downs, as long as the ball isn't fumbled maybe He can make something happen. At Collin's age He doesn't need to take any more beatings anyway.........

    Kerry Collins is a monster. Even when he was on the Raiders he had over 3k yards. Vince had his chance. Is there a third option? I know what position the Titans are going to draft first next year.

    HOld up, this story is moot already:
    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—The owner of the Tennessee Titans wants more of Vince Young(notes). He’s getting just that with the winless Titans switching from veteran Kerry Collins(notes) back to the 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year.
    Coach Jeff Fisher announced the expected move Thursday after practice for the 0-6 Titans.

    I can't understand how some Titan's fans can say that the problem isn't the QB. If VY had gone 0-6 these same folks would be howling to throw him out. It's unbelievable.
    VY has a winning record; has won exactly the same number of superbowls as Collins; and has never gone 0-6 in his life.
    You same folks will jump on every incomplete and mistake as proof-positive that he isn't ready. But you will forget that the alternative at that position got you no wins this season.
    Final questions, if VY fails to win a game this season, will some of you still claim it isn't the QB's fault?

    And face it folks, Fisher's ego is what the problem was this season. He stuck with Collins because pulling him would make him look bad. How else do you explain his constant refrain that Collins gives the team the best chance to win....when they have NO wins!!!!
    Collins is a servicable game manager. Last year's defense covered his arse. But name one game that Collins won on his own.

    Oh the suspense is killing me. Who will they pick? The coaches for Jacksonville will lose sleep for sure all because Jeff Fisher is being sly. Did Fisher get coaching lessons for Eric Mangini during the bye week? Oh what will happen when the Titans take the field?
