    I've never seen Booty play, but to me, this was resonable. It may be time for Collins to retire and call it a day, either now or at the end of the season. I'll give any USC quarterback a twirl just to see what he's got.

    First Titans QB news: Booty on practice squad

    <em>Posted by ESPN.com&rsquo;s Paul Kuharsky</em>
    <BR>
    <BR>NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The quarterback news so far Wednesday from Tennessee isn&rsquo;t about who will start Sunday in Jacksonville.
    <BR>
    <BR>It&rsquo;s that <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11355" target="_new">John David Booty</a>, who tried out for Houston on Tuesday, became a member of the Titans&rsquo; practice squad.
    <BR>
    <BR>The Titans are practicing right now. As they sort out first-team reps in a week when owner Bud Adams has reportedly instructed coach Jeff Fisher to start Young ahead of <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=734" target="_new">Kerry Collins</a>, odds are they felt they needed scout-team assistance.
    <BR>
    <BR>Fisher started the season with three quarterbacks on the roster, but the Titans cut <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3560" target="_new">Patrick Ramsey</a> after three games.
    <BR>
    <BR>Houston was likely updating contingency plans when it had Booty in for a look with a large group featuring quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends.
    <BR>
    <BR>With <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4480" target="_new">Rex Grossman</a> as the backup to <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5615" target="_new">Matt Schaub</a> and No. 3 <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8559" target="_new">Dan Orlovsky</a> in the first year of a lucrative deal, it&rsquo;s hard to imagine the Texans making any changes at the position.
    <BR>
    <BR>The Titans had made room for Booty Tuesday by cutting running back <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11912" target="_new">Lance Ball</a> from the practice squad.
    <BR>
    <BR>The other players Houston looked at: receiver <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10670" target="_new">Dallas Baker</a>, tight end Carson Butler, receiver Patrick Carter, former Titans receiver <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10710" target="_new">Chris Davis</a>, quarterback Bobby Reid and tight end Dezmond Sherrod.

    Well, instead of starting a new thread, I am pulling the trigger in this one.

    Bench Collins!!! Start John Booty.

    I was wondering why we didn't pick him up immediately when he was released. Definite quality.

    excellent "developmental" QB. we should have had someone in after the draft last year, but of course our FO thinks we were fine with what we had.......NO FUTURE! Just like Fisher's missteps in the whole Returner/Backup DB fail.
