Kerry Collins Retires

[John Waylon]

Jake Locker prolly just soiled himself knowing he'll have to go up against Freeney and Mathis (And maybe Hughes?) all alone this season...

Huge blow to the Titans IMO. Chris Johnson is going to hold out, and even he, as good as he is, can't carry the whole load, so they're going to need their QB to step it up, and I'm not sure if Locker can do it...

[Peytongirl]

:omg2: Did NOT see that coming! **d-line licking their chops**

[John Waylon]

Yeah, neither did I. But I remember a while back he said he'd be interested in returning to the Titans as a starter, so it seems to me they are committing to Locker right out of the gate.

[Coltswarriors]

Titans are going to be in trouble this upcoming year. I likey

[shakedownstreet]

this is almost as exciting as mjd's reconstructed knee 8)

[Coltssouth]

Wow! Palmer I expected. Kerry was a bolt out of the blue.

Didn't see that one coming.

[bayone]

Lockler is good but not accurate, & Brit mnay be suspended too with all his antics this oiffseason

[Andy]

Too bad, love Collins, such a great QB, one of the best to never win a SB. Anyways, now the Titans have a rookie QB at the helm which is good news for us.

Collins was pretty underrated. You never heard much about him, but he certainly knew how to play QB well. If I'm not mistaken, he was a Polian draft pick.

In Buffalo or Carolina? Buffalo I think?

Edit:

Nope. My bad Carolina. Search engines are great!

Really, you guys are surprised at this huh? I was watching the Titans-Dolphins game last year and when I saw Collins hurt his Achilles or whatever it was with no contact I said "Old man's got nothing left, that should rap up his career." And if Brett wants to come back (PLEASE don't let that happen) then my guess it would be that he would sign with the Titans for a year. Jake Locker is going to be a gunslinger, so why not learn from the best for a year?

[Korey]

I actually liked watching this guy play at times.

[Peytongirl]

People here in TN are in a state of PANIC! Well, except for us Colts fans.

Good, I hope they are panicking all season long! Personally, I'd have preferred Kerry to have played another year. This would have brought indecision, chop and change, and a great deal of uncertainty within the offense as a whole.

Well, at least we'll see what Locker has in his locker.

[MTC]

I saw that coming... Locker is the Titans new QB

[Peytongirl]

I knew they would transition to Locker quickly, but I thought Collins would stick around for one more season to mentor, start and then be backup. If the kid gets hurt, they are in trouble.

I guess they are going to be signing fast as soon as the CBA is done or whenever FA opens. However all that is working at the moment.

[21isSuperman]

If the kid gets hurt, they are in trouble.

It's not like he plays in a division with D-lineman like Alualu, Freeney, Mathis and Williams trying to hit him as hard as they can every play...

[GoDeep]

Ruh roh for the Titans.

Excellent.

[indy_nick]

woot. have fun Locker! Jax and Houston have built their teams to get after Peyton manning. They should feast upon a rookie QB starting as well as our DEs. Baptism by hellfire much?

[Rich Cannon]

finally some good news 2 free wins.....at least they should be

one of the best to never win a super bowl??? we are talking about kerry collins right? the guy that played at penn st?

[Peyton and Eli fan]

Heard on the radio today that the Titans are interested in bringing in a veteran QB now.

God I hope Favre goes to Ten. The rumors of him coming back are getting under my skin again. I think Freeney and Mathis need to remind him he's too old to play in the NFL :wink:

lol he's laughing in a jail cell right now. Although, with that 1st round money of his, bail is cheap.

wait....what?

[21isSuperman]

wait....what?

Yeah, I was confused too (thinking this was a recently made thread). This thread was made before the Colts signed Collins and if I remember correctly, before the Titans signed Hasselbeck.

[shakedownstreet]

kerry who?

oh yea...im confused too!

[Dustin]

rotfl It's hilarious to read all of this stuff after all that has conspired.

[ReMeDy]

Say what you want about Collins and Locker, but at least one of them is still standing! That's more than I can say for the other guy!
