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!!!!!

Vince Young... Suicide...

I don't think I can even comment on this Story.

Well, I feel I must...
This was an obvious cry for attention. To put this burden on those that love and care for you is a very selfish thing to do. I believe that for him to do this and then come out in the media (finally!!!) and say it was blown out of proportion is a common marker for a person that has low self esteem and in denial about their depression. Always needing to be reassured that you are loved is healthy but to take it to an extreme is not. I hope Vince gets and excepts the help he needs. I hope Coach Fisher stays true to his word and makes Vince earn his starting job back. I know that most Titans fans feel as I do. We have lost faith in his commitment to the team.

Vince Young Update

Vince Young speaks to the media about his commitment, injury and the issues surrounded him this past week.

Jeff Fisher, coach of the Titans stated today that Vince Young will have to earn the starting QB job back when he gets past his knee injury. This has to be the best thing I have heard since Vince Young joined the team. Nothing will be given to him unless he works for it, at least I hope.

More to come ( more in depth reports are linked as well )

When to say "when"

2000 AFC CHAMPIONS


When do we say “when”

It’s midnight in Nashville, TN. Most people are finishing up a great division rival game on Monday Night Football after watching the cities “Golden Boy” from Vanderbilt show why he is the only QB from his draft class that has class. Well… all except our Head Coach Jeff Fisher. He is at the sports park watching the Metro police search his starting quarterback’s SUV and finding a weapon (thank goodness it wasn’t loaded) then questioning him on his whereabouts for the last 5 hours.

Eating chicken wings and watching football…….WHAT????????

People in his own family were so concerned with him not showing up for his MRI and later storming off from his home without his cell phone to call his coach. Knowing the mental state of his quarterback after the whole world watched him act like a child on the sidelines after being booed, his coach called the police to find him with deep concern for his well being knowing that his action would be broadcast all over the world, embarrass his team further and the best we get is…

Eating chicken wings and watching football…….WHAT????????

I SAY “WHEN”!!! Enough is enough!!! Didn’t we, as Titans fans, just get over being the wiping boy for the nation over Pacman? At least he was getting in trouble for being a “BALLER”. The maturity issue with Vince Young is something that is not news to those that love and follow their team. He has always been a big baby. Even back in college, when asked about mistakes he has made on the field, he would take it very personally and react as such. Usually not even answering the question. I understand if a person has some mental disability and needs help and can not function properly in society. I can understand being put under a microscope and getting picked by the vultures having an affect on anyone. What I can’t understand is why he is allowed to single handedly destroy a team that, because of the find of Chris “fastest man in the NFL” Johnson and an even tougher defense this year thru smart offseason decisions, could challenge for the division title.

“It has been tried!!” is my answer to almost every response I’ve heard from the VY camp. He needs help. Professional help!!!! It is time!!! Time to say WHEN !!!! Let’s get on with football. Let’s find another quarterback, let’s start Colins and lets go get that Division Title.


GO TITANS
