Since taking over in the first game of 2008, Kerry Collins has been the consumate game manager. But what about his stats? For a QB who reeled off the best record in the NFL, finishing 13-3, you would expect more Manning or Brady numbers, right?

In the 2008-2009 season, Kerry Collins threw a whopping 12 touchdowns. Not exactly stats you want to build your fantasy team around. But, this year has potential to be much better. With additions of Kenny Britt, Nate Washington, and a steadily improving Justin Gage, Collins will have plenty of chances for arial assaults on weaker defensive backs. This week’s matchup against the Texans has the potential to be Collins’ first offensive break out game.

Titans fans should remember better than anyone that Kerry Collins can rack up the points when given the chance. Just look back at the 2004 game when Collins, the QB for the Oakland Raiders, torched the Titans for 375 yds and 5 touchdowns.

2004 Titans v. Raiders Stats

Expect an excited fan base this week as the Titans host their first home opener of the regular season. Traditionally, the Titans v. the Texans always proves to be an exciting game with a barn burner thrown in there every now and again. In Week 1 of the 2009 season, Jets rookie Matt Sanchez was able to toss 272 yds and a TD last week versus the Texans. Imagine what an experienced vet like Collins behind a top offensive line might do. If you’re looking for a second starter at QB this week in fantasy football, Collins may be your man.

Kerry Collins was asked by a media member on Wednesday “Is this your team?” Collins promptly responded, “I don’t know if it is yet, but I plan on making it mine.”

The quarterback situation in Tennessee continues to be a hot topic. Listening to the audio from interviews on Wednesday, even the team and staff still differ on what to do. For example:

When asked where Vince Young will watch the game, Coach Fisher alluded to Young possibly watching from the coaches box to hear play calls and watch the plays develop from a different level view. “Whatever we decide, we’re going to do what’s best for Vince,” Coach Fisher.

When Albert Haynesworth was asked what he would do if he were the coach, Haynesworth suggested the best solution would be to use a two quarterback system maximizing both quarterbacks talents.

With rumors swirling that Vince Young has lost the Titan’s locker room support, it still seems apparent that no one has told the players. They seem to be supporting Collins starting but it doesn’t seem that they’ve totally written Young off as well.
