Titans Turn QB Job Over to Young
SUMMARY: Rookie QB Vince Young will make his first NFL start for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Young already had played spot duty in each of the Titans' first two games. But the Titans are winless at 0-3 and are hoping the quarterback who led Texas to the national title in January can provide a spark to their offense. Coach Jeff Fisher had promised he wouldn't start Young until the rookie was ready, and he publicly said Monday that veteran Kerry Collins would start against Dallas (1-1). Young is 10-of-23 for 133 yards with a touchdown and an interception this season in limited duty.

Got it as soon as I read it..... Charles Nelson Riley
I love it....I think the whole team will rally around Vince and we'll upset the Cowpukes.....
Let's see how many times they try to get some cheap hits in on Vince.....
Vince is gonna be fine, but if he's not perfect.....a bunch of morons will already say he was the wrong pick, overrated...etc, etc...(like other people have said)....
If we lock down Terry Glenn and control the run game, maybe we can knock Drew Dedthrow around and get him scared.....
Maybe Pac can return a punt without getting it called back......
Let's go Titans.....InVinceable BABY

Read the Tennessean article. Collins was practicing with the scout team and Young wsa getting all the reps. The only reason Fisher didn't announce earlier was so Dallas would not prepare for Young.
The way the coaches were talking about Young's progress this doesn't surprise me. Chow spoke in one interview that VY wasn't "quite" ready yet but when asked if he was progressing faster than he expected he said 1000x faster. I have to hand it to Fisher for now. At least he is trying to spark the team and who knows. This might turn out pretty darn good.
I'm unbelievably excited. It changes the whole complexion of the game and the crowd support. I'm hoping to hear alot of noise from the Coliseum, errr-oops- LP Field for the defense.
I really don't care how Vince plays- just get the real time reps against a good defense- and Please Lord- No injuries.
FINALLY SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT!

it's great to see Vince get the intro
but don't be surprised if he's pulled and/or is sat against Was/Bal/Jax

I wasn't serious about the one series for Young.
Let's hope so
IADT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It's about damn time)
Go Titans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go VY, stick it to all the naysayers!!!
The defense has to step up and play!!, if they do, then we will get our first win today.

It's funny. Some of the sports reporters around town had been talking about "maybe" this would be the week that the Titans would give vince his first start. I didn't pay it much attention, thinking they were just floating ideas. But this makes a lot of sense. They had already noticed the division of reps in practice this week and were not supposed to talk about it yet.
Very cool news.

This should be mega hype with T.O. in the house and a large part of the nation watching.
Two things..
i) Bulluck knew all along !
ii) Has Bud Adams had any role in this do you think?? Just putting it out there.. Think about it.. the man who left Texas with the Oilers, we're now playing the Dallas Cowboys with THE QB everyone in Texas loves..
oh and a third..
even if Young stinks it up, he's the future... that's a whole different thing to KC stinking the place up..
fantastic news

Great move..
I like the boldness of it. It took mcnair until his 3rd season to take over and young is doing it after 3 games. Wow!
Unusual isn't it that now that collins has been here over a month and is probably finally getting a grasp of the offense he has to sit down. Despite the 2 ints against the dolphins he did have his best game.
In any event this is a team that has averaged 11 points a game and i'm sure we can do better with young. We will now see a crowd that is on fire and a team that is on fire. The gayboys are going down!
