Owner Bud Adams Puts Jeff Fisher In Tough Spot

Jim Wyatt from the Tennessean’s Titans Insider blog explains why this QB controversy may be a no-win situation for head coach Jeff Fisher:

At 0–6, the Titans need to show something to Adams in the final 10 games. It’s important for Fisher’s future with the team. Adams has said as much.

But if Young plays well, Adams will likely question why the fourth-year pro wasn’t playing earlier, instead of Kerry Collins.

And if Young plays poorly, and the Titans finish 2–14, Fisher’s job could be on the line.

In Fisher’s defense, Collins led the team to a 13-win season last year — that should be enough to earn him the right to be the team’s starting QB for at least six games this season. On top of that, it’s not like Young has shown much the few times he’s gotten into games this season.

Speaking of not showing much, at SB Nation’s Music City Miracles, they’re prognosticating how Young will perform on Sunday. The predictions are cautiously optimistic, at best, and disastrous, at worst. I’d be surprised if the outcome isn’t closer to the latter than the former.
