    Source: Collins told he'll start in '09
    Comment Email Print
    ESPN.com news services

    When Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher broke the news to Kerry Collins last week that he was headed to the Pro Bowl, he also communicated directly to Collins that he indeed wants him back as his starting quarterback in 2009, a team source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

    Collins

    Fisher had made public remarks that Collins deserved to be the starter based on his performance this season, but a source said his private reaffirmation thrilled Collins, who has said he will retire if he does not get a contract as a starting quarterback.

    Collins, who was voted as a Pro Bowl alternate and replaces Brett Favre on the AFC roster, is scheduled to become a free agent in March. Though Titans GM Mike Reinfeldt has had some philosophical contract discussions with Collins' representatives, there has been no real negotiations as of yet.

    If a contract is completed for Collins, it means former first-round draft pick Vince Young will have to cope with the disappointment of losing his job to the veteran. A team source said Young has promised to have a good attitude and work ethic this offseason.

    However, the team has a desire to re-sign Chris Simms, who was the third-string quarterback. Simms also is set to be a free agent, but the Titans believe he showed tremendous progress throughout the season in practice and believe he is now fully healthy after complications from having his spleen removed during the 2006 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    That's not the most surprising thing. When I saw that he's replacing Brett Favre that made me do a double take. Favre?? Pro Bowler?? Really?

    What's also funny is that Simms, if he plays his cards right, could be Collins' backup in 09

    If they don't put some wildcat formations in for Vince next year then the writing is on the wall.

    If Collins had been hurt this season I think Simms would have got the call even though he was listed behind Young.

    Fisher will never win big with Collins. Big mistake.

    Correction: Fisher will never win big with LenDale White fumbling all over the field.

    Wow, the Texans look even more good w/ Young being a bust and Bush not living up to his hype. SUPER MARIO!

    If his attitude and work ethic are a concern, then you really don't want him on your team.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Simms takes the back up position.

    Not a very effective comback...
    I've yet to see Vince throw more TD passes than INTs in an NFL season.
