Titans | Volek still unsure why he wasn't given an opportunity

Jim Wyatt, of the Tennessean, reports former Tennessee Titans QB Billy Volek, traded to the San Diego Chargers Tuesday, Sept. 19, still does not know why the Titans never gave him an opportunity to be the team's starting quarterback. "The funny thing is, to this day, I still don't know why I am not starting (for the Titans)," Volek said. "The only thing that I can think of is I was kind of a scapegoat for the offense, not putting up 40-50 points in the preseason…If you want to point the finger at me, point the finger at me. I am fine with that. But let me know why I am not playing, and that never happened here. No one told me. Yes, I leave with some bitterness. But I am trying to think of the good times."

Maybe for the same reason we didn't like Collins. Volek put up great stats but had an awful record. Granted Volek had nowhere near as much to work with and the D wasn't that great either. With that said, Volek did not get a fair shake in Tennessee and I liked him. If something happens to Rivers, Volek-Walter could be fun for years to come.

they could have just traded him at the end of last season and gotten a lot more IMO,something must have happened to get him in the doghouse for good

i saw a bit about this on nfl network.

I guess he complained at the end of last season, and said he never wanted to come back... well when they were keeping Mcnair out, they said they tried to contact him, but he said he was not in town, and later they found out he was???

then they drafted Young, and brought in Collins during a work out...

miss communication?? who knows, but they should had brought in Collins in training camp!
