Kerry Collins, jobless for most of the off-season after parting ways with the Oakland Raiders has signed with Tennessee Titans.
Collins put up solid numbers last season: 3,498 YDS, 20 to 12 TD to INT, 77.3 QB rating.
The talking heads are all spinning the possibility of Collins taking over the starting job from Billy Volek. But I don't think that's what happening at all. I think if the Titans wanted Collins to start the season at QB they would have brought him in five weeks ago.
I think the Titans have now got a look at Vince Young on the field and realized what a hole they'd be in if Volek got injured and the team was forced to start Young. Yes, I think Young is that bad and the Titan's coaching staff is that afraid and that is, in fact, what this move is about.
Extra insurance against even the freak chance of having to start Young anytime in the next few years.
Somebody prove me wrong. Young was a one-hit-wonder: the Rose Bowl. The Titans fell for the hype and now are trying to protect themselves from their own draft folly.
