Titans turning to Simms?

For the love of God I hope the Titans can bring in someone other than Chris freakin' Simms. I'm not saying it's going to be Vince's job, or even that it should be...but Simms sure as hell isn't the answer.

I've seen him play too many college games (and some pro)...he's a choker and a poor leader.

 

1. I just don't see Collins wanting too much money. I know he won't accept a backup spot, but I doubt he's going to ask for that much money. He's really not in a position to. I don't know of any other teams that would want him, at least for long term.

2. Vince will be given a chance to prove himself both in the off season, during TC and during the PS. I will be quite surprised if anything happens to him before then.
While Fish has implied that the position is KFC's to lose, he could very well still lose it.

3. Dinger has already stated last year before the season started; to paraphrase him: Ideally I'd like two more seasons to work with Vince to better assess his ability/potential.
He's already had one season. If he was telling the truth, this upcoming season will the be second. That tells me that Vince will indeed still be here this upcoming season, albeit possibly as still a backup.
To anyone who thinks Vince is going anywhere this season, just stop right there. Vince isn't going anywhere. He may not be the starter come game 1 of the '09 season, but he willl still be a Titan.


Crazy speculation alert: It's possible that they put VY as #2 so Dinger could work with him in the fashion that he stated before last season. Who knows, maybe Dinger wanted Vince to be the backup so he could have more time to work with him. Since they could afford to have KFC as the starter, that could have freed up Vince a little more so he could indeed work with Dinger.

 

This was mentioned on the local news last night that Simms could be the starting QB next yr if Collins didn't sign. The Titans have contacted Simms about resigning with the Titans

 

Yeah, I saw that too. But it made me wonder why the FO still has Vince if he's no longer of any use to them. Granted they will incur some expenses if they cut him now, but it would wind up costing them more if they keep him through his contract.
Regardless of his conduct last year, I think that if the Titans were planning on exploring other avenues, they would have done something with Vince by now. I could be wrong though. I've seen stranger **** happen.

 

For the record, I'm the only person here who likes Simms.
