    hey...i seem to be in the minority on being all right with Bullucks comments to the media...that's fine...

    you guys seem to think that bullucks comments are going to undermine coach fisher, and i'm assuming here, give the media something to talk about which could become a distraction. And the result of those things would be what? Losing?

    Check...already getting our butts whipped...

    I think his comments would have been worse if he was dogging collins...but I didn't read it like that...he was fair to collins and praising and confident of Vince...I think that is a good thing...

    now vince not only knows he has the blessing of the team's best player (which he probably already knew from private conversations), but that the team leader is willing to say so in public, which represents an even bigger endorsement...

    To me these comments are either going to have no effect or a positive effect. i don't see how it will be detrimental to the team...

    the only thing missing from his quote wwas at the beginning he should have said "on behalf of the whole organization and all its fans..."

    Why wouldn't you play him against certain teams?? He's going to have to play against them sooner or later...

    i guess the logic is that he may either be 1.) overmatched b/c those teams are so good or 2.) hurt b/c those teams can blitz so good...

    but I don't like those reasons b/c Collins will also be overmatched which will cause Young to play anyway (see Chargers game)...and Young will be able to take much more punishment than collins on blitzes and he will be able to avoid them easier...

    I hear what you're saying Zack.. I just think that when other players see Bulluck questionning Fish in public, cos that what he's doing, they may lose a little respect..
    OK the upshot of it all could be that Fish goes, and we get to where we want to be sooner, ie VY starting and all that.. Just think it may have been better with Bulluck saying it to Fish..
    I want VY in there anyhow.. I thought there were going to keep him on the sidelines all season 'learning'.. if they're going to give him a series here and there just make him the starter and be done with it
    I completely agree with what Bulluck said, he's a legend as it is.. just think he could have kept it out of the media for now..

    Exactly. If Fisher says Collins is the starter and Bulluck tells the newspaper he thinks Young should be the starter, that's Bulluck saying he thinks Fisher is wrong. What's next? Bulluck's proposed starting lineup each Saturday in the Tennessean?

    i'm guessing there is a lot of disagreement on every football team...

    if lamont thompson said the statement, I would think he could have just been quiet...but I think bulluck has earned the right to be vocal...it's not like he isn't doing everything he can to help the titans win...

    and his tone wasn't all that negative...i thought he was fair to collins and praising of vince...

    how will this hurt the titans? will this start a revolt among players? no. Will this put bulluck in the dog house? no.

    What it will do is give vince more confidence...

    are you guys against the comments from bulluck questioning his teammates effort?

    Bulluck's comment goes to show just how much respect and faith that even the best players on the team have for Collins. The best of the best who practice daily with these guys can see the strides that Young has made. Young has a better feel for this team than Collins. The offense is designed more for a mobile QB and always has been. I say, since they went and screwed up the QB position so bad anyway, why not just go ahead and start Vince. He is the kind of guy who learns from mistakes. Vince doesn't get "down on himself" for throwing INTs. He learns from it and moves on. Not all QBs need the 1 to 3 season clipboard time to learn the speed of the game. This guy wants to WIN! How can he do that from the sidelines? Start Vince versus the Cowpies and let the VY era begin!

    I don't see anything wrong with Bullucks comments.
    That's his opinion, he never said Fisher was wrong or that the team was divided against Fisher,
    he just gave his own opinion of who he'd like to see start.
