NFL: No QB switch, Titans stick with Collins over Young


By TERESA M. WALKER

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The messages are flying on Facebook and Twitter. Fans are calling for change on talk radio. Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher isn’t budging.

Fisher is sticking with veteran Kerry Collins at quarterback rather than switch to Vince Young, looking for a spark as he did in 2006 when the Titans also were winless. And the coach said Monday he doesn’t expect owner Bud Adams to weigh in on the side of Young, his fellow Texan.
The Titans’ four losses are to AFC teams with Indianapolis (4-0) up next, and Fisher said the staff is looking at everything. But Fisher said his reasons for sticking with Collins are simple. That’s the quarterback who led the Titans to 13 victories in 2008.
