    good read...id like to see what Vince has, just so we can decide to keep him or let him market himself to other teams.

    he'd fit in perfectly with a team WILLING to work in the wildcat...but Vince can make great plays without a special formation and then ones that'll leave you scratching your head

    give him a shot, see how it ends up. if this came up last week when we were 0-3, id say hell no keep Collins in because we'd still have playoff chances...but 0-4 makes it nearly impossible so you might as well see what the boy's got.

    pros: we will further confirm that VY is not our franchise QB
    cons: none, season is over, nothing to lose.

    Pros:

    - We would get to evaluate whether or not our 26 year old 3rd overall pick QB who is due insane money in 2010 has improved and can decide once and for all if he's our guy for the future
    - Maybe he gives us the spark we need to make something out of this season
    - We would be seeing an exciting, potentially game-changing QB for a change


    Cons:

    - Fisher would be letting down his BFF KFC

    pro: we get to showcase VYs abilities to the whole NFL so that he can show everyone that he is hardly worth a fraction of the 12mil he is due next year. makes it cheaper for us to hold onto him, considering this has to be KCs last year... hes going to get benched and next year hes due like 7 mil or something. he'll just retire.

    we at least need someone on this team who kind of knows the playbook, even if all VY does is play around with lendale or sit in the corner listening to his ipod. lol

    i dont get why people say he would be great in the wildcat....same goes for Mike Vick in a box.

    the wildcat has the QB out of the play! either in the slot or on the sideline.


    imo, the reason why VY was successful his rookie year was because he didnt know the offense. yes, did NOT know the offense. he had one key WR. drop back and if he wasnt open, take off!. his second year was one that he wanted to prove he could pass. he finally 'knew' the offense after a year of learning the plays. ball snapped, read, read read, read, read, sack. he waited too long reading all his progressions and by then the pocket was closed and no chance to run.

    imo, when the Titans drafted VY, they should have been willing to formulate an offense around Vince, not force him to fit theirs. they still dont seem willing to do so, so he will never be effective in this type offense.
    when you draft a QB that high with his skillset
    and you want what he has to offer you have to try and maximize it.

    with that said, the Titans arent interested, so drop him in the offseason, and find something new

    Pretty much.

    Been saying it all year. If Young hasn't earned the job why should he have it? Answer: he shouldn't.

    shouldn't the same be said for collins?

    what has he done to earn the job?

    he was given the job last year because young got hurt and we were winning last year with collins handing the ball off. well, we're not winning this year and he's playing miserably.

    time for young.

    Has Kerry earned it though? He's only starting because of last year, he was nothing special in preseason and he's even worse in regular season.

    I don't care if VY hasn't earned it, Kerry can't make plays when things break down, Vince has the ability at least. I'm sick of seeing 10+ balls thrown out of bounds because Kerry's first read wasn't there.

    I'd rather see a loss of yards on a scramble than a constant barrage of balls thrown in the stands at this point.
