Call me stubborn if you will, but I'm still not sold on the Denver Broncos, despite their 4-0 record, gaudy defensive stats and a sensational scoring play by the formerly disgruntled Brandon Marshall in last week's 17-10 win over visiting Dallas.
A Broncos' win over visiting New England this Sunday would go a long way toward reducing my skepticism, largely resulting from the fact that two of Denver's defensive gems came at the expense of the offensively-challenged Browns and Raiders.
Although Tennessee is 0-4, head coach Jeff Fisher shrewdly announced right after last week's 37-17 loss to Jacksonville that Kerry Collins was still his starting QB, fully anticipating lots of negative reaction from fickle fans and media.
The same people who were booing Vince Young a year ago are the same folks who are now clamoring for his return as the starting QB.
Earlier this week, 70 percent of the respondents in an internet poll said Young should be the starter in Sunday's game against the Colts.
Fisher has wisely turned a deaf ear on the armchair quarterbacks, figuring he's better off sending the 37-year-old veteran up against the Colts rather than Young, who last started a game in Week 2 of last year.
But if the Titans lose this week, it won't be long before Collins gets cast aside and Young gets another shot at showing that he's got the skills and smarts to lead a quality NFL team.
