Re: Kery Collins retires from the NFL
Even though it's an all new coaching staff, they say the offense they will be running is going to be similar to last years. So the advantage Rusty has is that he knows the playbook from last year, the longer the lockout lasts the longer it's going to take Locker to get a copy of the book and study it.
I still think Locker will be the starter when the season starts and I'm sure they'll sign a veteran QB. Hopefully Rusty can show enough to at least be the back up to Locker and not the 3rd string
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Re: Kery Collins retires from the NFL
Rusty will probably start the first pre-season game (????) and IF he does well, that puts the pressure on Locker and I beleive he will screw up. But Rusty HAS TO do well right off the bat, any opening and that will give the Titan's the excuse to play or start Locker because of his first round contract.

Re: Kery Collins retires from the NFL
I love FAU football and Rusty Smith is the best QB we've ever had here, but if you think he's better than Jake Locker right now, you need a reality check. Locker was the best thing for Washington in the past 10 years. He went back to school to help out something he helped recreate. He's not some "prima donna athlete" that just showed up and got drafted. His work ethic alone puts him in front of Rusty. There's a reason why Smith didn't go to a better school in the first place.
Now with all that said, I too am hoping the Titans can get their act together this year. Step one would hopefully be naming Rusty their starter. But honestly, it's not going to happen.

Re: Kerry Collins retires from the NFL
My only point really for Rusty is the simple fact he is the only returning qb there and that "might" help him since he knows the system and players and is actually under contract. They still have to sign Locker or any experienced free agent qb.
Might not help either though!

Re: Kerry Collins retires from the NFL
My prediction: I agree with a previous poster, I think the job is Rusty's to lose by seniority (after one year ???). He will start, but he will be watched like a hawk and if he screws up then he is back to the bench.
But who knows, maybe it's the conspiracist in me but I'd bet that there are all kinds of "unofficial" deals being made with players which will come public as soon as the lockout ends.
