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?
