06:57 AM ET 07.31 | When a former NFL starting quarterback pays a free agency visit, it's an attention grabber. But news that former Jaguars and Falcons quarterback Byron Leftwich will work out for the Titans today is a non-story as there are no plans to sign him, Coach Jeff Fisher said. General Manager Mike Reinfeldt regularly brings in players for physicals and workouts so the Titans will have updated information on them if a need arises. Vince Young certainly isn't going anywhere, the Titans are happy with backup Kerry Collins and Fisher is eager to see how Ingle Martin will perform in preseason games.

That Ingle Martin kid can also kick the crap out of the ball, I saw him play at Furman.

Don't bother with Leftwich. He is slower than slow.

Leftwich sucks. I beseech the Titans organization not to waste anymore time on him. Collins is head and shoulders above Leftwich as a backup.

What do you mean? Collins sucks for the most part. He had one good year, but it is not like he is a consistent pro bowl quaterback . . . . .Leftwich is a much better thrower than VY or Collins. Now he is as mobile as a tree, but as a back-up you could do a lot worse.

The CFL used very run oriented, mobile QBs. Byron does not fit that mold.

Why isn't Miami or Chicago offering him work-out? Neither has any better options than Leftwich

Thats all it was, a workout, Titans are happy w/ their current backup, Kerry Collins....they won't sign him.

Leftwich gets hurt too much, he's a bad seed. Plus he don't know the playbook and if Titans happen to need a back-up scrambler they already have Ingle. Collins will continue to be a solid Back-up because of his experience, so just face it V.Y is the starter PERIOD!

I find it hard to believe he's not a starter in the NFL he is a very good QB except for his tender body. If the NFL expanded and merged with CFL merged we'd have plenty of teams to watch and games to go too and guys like this would have a job.

Curious choice of back-up...an imobile QB behind a mobile one. They would have to change their offense totally with Leftwich in there
