Who’s out in Tennessee, Jeff Fisher or Vince Young?

To put it lightly, the Tennessee Titans have had a sort of "revolving door" of starting quarterbacks in recent years. With the Vince Young vs. Jeff Fisher struggle so pressing right now, we want to evaluate what really is best for the Tennessee Titans Franchise.

Round 1) Jeff Fisher jumps out to an early lead due to three reasons more than the rest. 1) Length of service. Jeff Fisher has been with the franchise since he took over in 1994 when he replaced Jack Pardee as head coach of the Houston Oilers. 2) History of Success. Jeff Fisher’s overall record as a head coach is 141-116 (including playoffs) for a combined win percentage of .549. Plenty of teams in the league would chomp at the bit to have a head coach with that kind of reputation. 3) Value. Do you play your cards with the Head Coach with the history or the so-called franchise Quarterback? My vote goes to Fisher here.

Round 2) Vince Young trails closely with some very valid arguments backing him. Here are a few things that tend to get easily overlooked when talking about Vince Young. The fact that he is 30-17 as a starter is quite impressive for a quarterback as young (no pun intended) as he is. While trying to be as unbiased as possible, let me also mention that in those 47 starts Vince Young is only 5-10 against teams that ended up making the playoffs. You frequently hear the statement that Vince Young is a winner plain and simple. But is it simply that Vince Young is a winner against bad teams?

 

With a split decision so far I will let you decide who gets the win on this one. Sure Fisher is accused of being too hard on Young. For those that don’t remember Vince Young has had his share of incidents in recent years. In 2008 Vince Young was the center of attention for supposedly having lost the will to play football and battling depression. His agent strongly refuted these claims, while his mother was quoted as saying her son was "hurting inside and out." And so the saying goes… Mama knows best!
