Kerry vs. Vince

Alright, Kerry finally had that game we all knew he would have. I'm not complaining, I've just been waiting for this opportunity to give a little insight. Kerry Collins, as well as the rest of the team, had a poor showing on Sunday in Baltimore against the Ravens. Every player has those days, every team stumbles. As a Titans fan it was not a fun game to watch but, it was a great game to see the Titans have. Confused? Let me take you back to September 9th of this year.


It was the first game of the year, a lot of expectations. We had seen the Titans perform pretty well in the preseason and was looking forward to another competitive year with a shot for the playoffs again. The defense was playing very well. Jacksonville had 189 net yards with 3 turnovers and even though they had the ball for 31 plus minutes, only scored 10 points. The new rookie, Chris Johnson, was having a great introduction to the regular season with 93 yards on the ground, his longest an 18 yard run and 34 passing with a touchdown. Our quarterback, Vince Young, was struggling, as Kerry was this last game. Here are the stats:

NAME (COMP/ATT) (YDS) (TD) (INT) (RATING)
Vince Young (12/22) (110) (1) (2) (45.6)
Kerry Collins (17/32) (163) (1) (2) (52.0)

Now, where was the difference, was it location? NO Kerry was away. Was it injuries? NO Kerry had less starters. Was it a different game plan? NO Kerry has less of the playbook to work with. Was it penalties? NO JAC game 5 penalties for 36 yds, BAL game 10 penalties for 78 yds. Was it one lost, one won?

It was the quarterbacks ability to play the position, lead their team, and show strength during adversity. The Jacksonville game was won despite Vince and his Drama Queen antics. The Baltimore game was won by a Kerry sucking it up and putting together a 10 point 4th quarter to help his team secure the victory.

Vince Young has already moved up the chart to 2nd string quarterback for the Titans. Regardless of what has been said in the media, we all know he is not stable. He is not making great strides to get his position back. The Titans do not need him. I don't think the team really even wants him. I just hope that after a couple of losses, which we all know can easily happen, that the coaching staff and administration don't bail on Kerry Collins, who is looking better than he has since his years in New York maybe ever.

Who can argue!!!!!!

Well, it's Saturday night, I'm so tired, but can't let the LSU v. Auburn game go....
What a game. The SEC is the BEST conference in football. That's right, I said it, " SEC FOOTBALL IS THE BEST IN THE NATION. Yes my VOLunteers got beat but what do you expect from Crompton and Fulmer (can you believe this man has an extension on his contract?). Anyway....

The South Eastern Conference has more top 10 teams than any other conference in NCAA football. No, I didn't research this... ESPN showed 4,5,6 & 10 are SEC teams before the weekend even started.... isn't that enough? And how about those Commodores. GO BLACK & GOLD. 23 to 17 against the Rebels. Again, an SEC match up. WE own football. Prove it wrong... I'm waiting.

Oh, and BY THE WAY!!!! BWM beat me in fantasy football even though I had the top 3 score in our league. (YES, he had the #1 score). This is my first year playing(NO EXCUSE). I will redeem..............Waiting for BWM's post in response. Any way(again).....

Good to see that Collins will start again for week 3. Never know when that will change. Young , plz. get help!!! we could at least use your salary for next year....


OUCH harsh!!!!!
