Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Sunday that beleaguered quarterback Vince Young will have to earn his starting job back if he wants to play in 2009.

With the Titans re-signing starter Kerry Collins to a two-year deal in the offseason, Fisher’s declaration seems to be slamming the door shut on Young’s tenure as a Titan. I doubt Young will catch Collins, and it’s doubtful Tennessee will shell out so much money for a somewhat unproven young quarterback.

Young and his psyche need a fresh start somewhere else. He has proved he can win and lead an offense in the NFL. There are teams that need a QB — imagine Young as a Buccaneer. I think Fisher will ever be confident in Young again; it’s time for the Titans to cut their losses and let Young restart his career with another team.
