Why Titans must re-sign Collins

Tennessee has to sign Kerry Collins to a fair-market deal, even if it means Vince Young has to sit behind him for two more years. Collins is pulling a Kurt Warner, and Young, unfortunately for his development, is going to have eat humble pie like Matt Leinart's doing in Arizona. Tennessee has the cap room to do a 2009-salary-heavy deal for Collins -- the Titans will enter the offseason $35 million under the salary cap -- and I'd be stunned if they don't do it. There can be no more questioning of Collins, who has thrown one interception in the past 21 quarters and taken four sacks in the last 34 quarters.

Couldn't agree more. Never have been a Collins fan...up until this season. Collins has it going on, whereas I still do not trust VY to start and his heart for the game is in question.

Keep Collins and make Young watch and learn from him. that is how you make a good QB better. and young needs to stop sulking and be a part of the team during the game.

LETS GO TITANS!!!

10-0 and still going.

What games have you been watching? He was jumping up and down excited yesterday patting his teammates on the helmet after they came off the field.

Also, anyone that thinks Kerry Collins is the reason they're 10-0...

Don't forget these three things:

- Titants Defense led by Haynesworth
- Running Attack
- PARITY in the AFC this season

Titans* my hands are cold...can't feel the keys.

November 17, 2008  11:20 AM ET

Collins is doing it. I'd be curious if Tennessee makes "cap room" by dumping Young, or keeping him as an investment. Is he an investment?

Will watching make Young a better passer. He never got to Vick's level with his legs. How much longer does Collins have? With a strong defense and running game, he is not required to be the man.

"Why Titans must re-sign Collins"

b/c Vince is emo.

November 17, 2008  11:49 AM ET

Why? Because you are 9 and freaking 0! The state of Tennessee hasn't seen a leader like this since Peyton wore orange.

Young is just like a majority of high profiled QB's coming out of past drafts...overrated and over paid. There is nothing special about Young...the "michael Vick, Vince Young new running QB" experiment is over.

Let VY learn for a few like McNair did. McNair had a good career after sitting the bench for a season and a half.

November 17, 2008  11:53 AM ET

Rory, the Titans and 10-0... 9-0 was so last week...ha ha

Also, peyton never won the big game(s) at Tennessee, so maybe go with Tee Martin...lol

November 17, 2008  11:54 AM ET

I bet Vince is somewhere crying in the truck right now......

November 17, 2008  11:55 AM ET

The Titans just have a great coach. He's under-rated and exceptionally loyal to this franchise. Something all organizations desire.

November 17, 2008  11:58 AM ET

Young has proven he is a bust and an unstable one at that. Collins has taken teams that were GOOD to the promised land and the Titans are one of the best teams he has had to lead. Gotta keep him!!!

November 17, 2008  11:58 AM ET

Kerry Collins is what we thought he was:) hell Trent Dilfer won a superbowl. The titans are gonna learn what every other team that has had Kerry will learn.....he will never win a superbowl or lead his team to one. If I am Vince, I will force a trade to the Texans or the Bears. The titans wont miss you till your gone and the REAL Kerry Collins surfaces.
