Sure, Kerry Collins was the right choice for the Titans last season. You know, "managing the game," not making stupid mistakes and allowing the running game to do its thing. Those Titans were 13-3. These Titans are 0-6. Which means these Titans have nothing to lose. And When you have nothing to lose, then you know it's Vince Young time again.
That's how owner Bud Adams feels, anyway, according to the Tennessean:
Adams wants Vince Young starting at quarterback beginning with Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Following the 59-0 loss to the Patriots on Oct. 18 that dropped the Titans to 0-6, Adams told The Tennessean he'd made Coach Jeff Fisher aware of his desire to see Young play.
In the past week the 86-year-old owner has been more direct, according to sources familiar with the situation. Adams wants the change now. [...]
"I have been wanting (Fisher) to play Vince Young more because Collins has been having his problems out there,'' Adams said. "I just think we need to find out how well (Young) can do."If you don't play the guy and lose all your games, it is hard for you to see what he can do for you. Vince has won a lot of games for us.''
Assuming the team still feels that Young can be their franchise QB at some point, it makes no sense not to start him. Plus, we can all agree that a Vince Young-led team is an exciting team -- often in a train wreck sort of way, but still: exciting. Although, from Fisher's perspective, he has job security to worry about, so every game he can win -- even with the Titans falling short of the playoffs -- goes a long way towards cooling down the ol' hot seat.
Then again, if Titans fans had their way, none of this would matter and the team would just draft a QB in April.
