Kerry Collins(apparently on crack) wants more than Warner

2. Collins to piggyback on Warner. Once Warner gets a new deal, look for Collins to re-sign with Tennessee. Collins is looking for more than Warner, but the deals figure to be pretty similar and the Titans can’t afford to let the 36-year-old Collins go. Then again, Collins doesn’t figure to get much attention outside of Tennessee.
“There’s no question, I want to play,” Collins said. “Three years ago, coming off a couple of years in Oakland, I wasn’t really sure. I needed to take a break and that’s why I didn’t sign with anybody right away. Now, I feel like I have at least two or three years left. I’m excited about what we were able to do last season.”
Like Warner, Collins’ situation will also have an impact on …

I'm not sure why Collins thinks his 12 TD's and one-and-done in the playoffs is worth more. Between quitting on his team, his troubles with alcohol and overall average career I would think he should just consider himself lucky to be riding the backs of that defense and running game and just ****.

Collins had a fine year. He didnt even play the entire season and put up nice numbers.

LOL.

Ok Collins...when you are in MVP mode, go to the Super Bowl and drop 370 yards on the number one defense in the league in the biggest game of the year, you can ask for Warner money.

He sucked down the stretch.

I would think that there is a long line of QB's that would take less to be the starter in Tennessee. It continues to baffle me how they cannot get a decent starter in there. They should never have let Billy Volek go.

Orly? Where is he tearing it up again?

SD Practice squad?


Anyway.. Collins is straight stupid.

 

[Shogun]

Collins must have been drunk when he said that.

Maybe for the same reason Arizona can't get a decent running game going. Their team is set up to run the football while ours is set for passing. I think they can win with just about anybody at QB and would be stupid to pay Collins big money.

On the other hand the Cards can't win with just anybody because our line can't block and our WRs can't get separation so we need someone with a quick release who can and will throw the ball where only our guys can get it even with 1,2,or 3 defenders hanging on them.

Orly? Where is he tearing it up again?

It's all about getting an opportunity. Dude put up 900 yards, 8 TD's and 1 INT in back to back games when he got a semi-regular chance with the Titans. He's not Unitas reborn but he put up 19 TD's in 9 games before they drafted Young and he helped SD advance when Rivers got hurt in the '07 playoffs. I wouldn't build a franchise around him but I'd take him over Collins. Just about anyone in the 1st round after Young would have been a better pick for the Titans.

Of course, I would lay dollars to doughnuts that if they had gone with Leinart they'd have been in the Super Bowl by now. Not that Leinart is so great but Young has been a trainwreck. USC alum's Chow and Fisher had to want USC's golden boy and the owner F'd it all up. I mean, it's USC south. Great running team, great defense, LenDale White literally from USC, Chris Johnson a Reggie Bush clone(actually doing better in the pro's so far, just an NFL equivelant of Bush with the Trojans). If you changed Tennessee's colors to cardinal and gold you'd think you were watching the Trojans...except at QB.

What numbers are you looking at? Passer rating of 80.2 isn't exactly inspiring to me. The 58.3% completions? The 6.4 average per attempt?

The only place he looked good was in the won-loss column, and that's more to do with a stifling defense and a great running game than it is with a caretaker QB.

He started 13 games. Of the three that he missed, one was the last game of the year when the Titans had their seeding set. Averaging less than 1 TD/game and 200 yards passing isn't even Dilfer-esque. He had 200 yards/game and 1.5 TD/Game.

With Warner getting $9mil a year, Collins will be out of work if he's looking for a place that'll pay him even a third of that. You don't have a 2.6k yard season, which is below average for a guy that played basically the entire season, and expect All-Pro money. Hell, it was a joke that he was even in the pro bowl with the mediocre season he had.

Obviously leadership counts for something.


But Collins is stupid funny if he thinks he's getting anything near what Warner deserves. Puh-leease!
