Jake Delhomme, Donovan McNabb, John Kitna, etc...

collins still sucks, as does jon kitna.

all i'm saying is i would rather have the guy who has been in the offense and worked with his WRs/TEs/RBs for the last three years.

i don't see how kitna over collins is an obvious upgrade or vice versa.

 

Charlie Batch
Kyle Boller
Brooks Bollinger

Jamie Martin
Luke McCown
Craig Nall
J.T. O’Sullivan
Dan Orlovsky
Patrick Ramsey
Chris Simms
Brian St. Pierre
Marques Tuiasosopo
Kurt Warner
Anthony Wright


Of this list of QB's that are going to be out there next year, i rather stick with Collins. IMO,Collins didnt do anything to lose his job if in fact the decision is going to be between him or VY.

 

It's been 5 years since Kitna had a season where he threw more TDs than INTs.

His last full season as a starter, he threw for 18 TDs, 20 INTs, fumbled 17 times and was sacked 51 times.

He threw for a lot of yards in his 2 seasons in Mike Martz's offense (who doesn't), but outside of those 2 years, you have to go back 6 seasons to find a year in which he saw any significant playing time.

Kerry Collins is not the long term answer at QB. I'd be amazed if anyone thought that. If we keep Collins around, then I'd expect us to draft a QB high and groom him behind Collins and be done with Vince and hope that we can squeeze one more good season out of Collins.

If we are looking for a stop-gap QB for another season to make a run, then I'd 100% take Collins over Kitna. I'd have absolutely no confidence in Kitna playing mistake-free football consistently for us.

If we are looking for someone to truly compete with Vince for the job and potentially be our long-term starter, then you have to look outside of any of these guys.

 

IF Collins decided to retire and we needed to sign one of those guys, based on money I think Byron Leftwich would be the best guy for a small amount, yes even if Kitna was there I would take Leftwich over him.

 

Agree, but Leftwich is all about the Bears,i dont know if you heard that latest news about that.

if we had leftwich as a starter we'd see vince in about five weeks. leftwich has all the tools but he just can't stay healthy.

 

Charlie Batch
Jeff Garcia
Byron Leftwich
Kurt Warner


I'd take Garcia to start.

Think Warner would really struggle in TN unless we bring in at least 1 WR. But if we lost Collins, signed Warner and Housh... ok I'm :guzzle:.


Would like Batch or Leftwich as competition with VY to start the season if Collins retires or is signed elsewhere.

 

January 10, 2009

Titans 391 yards - Ravens 211 yards
Titans (21) 1st downs - Ravens (9) 1st downs
Titans 112 return yards - Ravens 47
Titans Time of Poss 34:07 - Ravens 25:53
Titans Turnovers 3 - Ravens 0

Protecting the ball is important - so much in fact it absolutely trumps every other statistic in a game as we saw Saturday. Part of me is defending Kerry's season because of the lack of turnovers which allowed our defense to win games, but I'm not saying we can't upgrade the position because we can.

And Tennessee just became an attractive place for a free agent QB with our O-line + CJ. Someone like McNabb could absolutely dominate on a team like the Titans. He is a perfect fit imo.
