Inconsistent QB2 I think, good for two-QB leagues though this week against a Jacksonville secondary without Rashean Mathis. I'd give WR Kenny Britt a slight value bump.
Not to step on Voltron, but there is more to this!! Tenn has a coach that the players like and don't want him fired, thats number 1, number 2 is Young was unstable last year and Tenn was in the hunt so they didn't want to mess things up!! Young is a real good QB who can scramble, pass and is smart in the pocket!!
You can't go on last year as this was mental and he has been sitting on the sidelines waiting for his chance. I predict he will have a great game to the TE and Gage!!!
Young is better 10 times than Collins and Tenn just saw it now!!
When was Young ever a "good QB?" His best season in the NFL netted a whopping 169 yards passing per game with 9 TD passes, 17 picks and a 71.1 rating. His rookie season was better in terms of TD/INT ratio (12/13) and he had 7 rushing TDs, but he put up 146 yards per game passing and had a 66.7 passer rating. He is a terrible pro QB. Was he good in college? Sure he was, but many have said that he never completely understood the playbook and was limited by the coaches to throwing to just one side of the field most of the time because he couldn't read defenses. If he couldn't handle that in college, how is he supposed to be able to do it in the NFL?
I can't really see him doing much at all. He is a mess mentally and the team around him knows that they won't make the playoffs (unless they win every single game, but even then they probably wouldn't make it) so they are just going to pack it in for the year. Tennessee isn't a high scoring team and they rely on the run to move the ball. The guy is a good athlete, but not much of a quarterback.

Any insight how he will do from here on out?

I think he will return to his form that put him on the cover of Madden.......
I think Young 2.0 and Smith 2.0 will work out. Maybe not this week, but long term
