• What was the turning point in your career?  When did you realize that the alcoholism and alleged racism could be a career killer, and how did you change your life?
• What franchise was the best run that you were a part of?  Which treated the players the best, and how does that impact the winning attitude within the locker room?
• How does ownership, and the player's attitude towards ownership affect the moral within the locker room?
• How can you explain your renaissance in Tennessee?  Sub par seasons have led to your benching on multiple teams, what turned around for you?
• What is the most memorable moment in your career?  How did it affect you, and what did you learn from it?
• What are your thoughts on Vince Young?  Do you believe that he has what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the NFL?  Given your struggles throughout your career, what advice and mentor ship could you give to Vince to help him become your successor for the Titans?
• You and Kurt Warner both have reemerged on new teams and seem to be playing like you were in your prime.  What is the key component for a quarterback to succeed?  Is it the supporting cast, or is it more mental?
• You have played for a variety of coaches.  Has one particular coaching style been more or less effective within the locker room?  Who has been the most effective coach for you?  What made him more effective than others?
• You were cut by the Panthers, Giants and Raiders.  What was the toughest to take?  Was there a moment when you wanted to hang it up?  What made you come back and keep fighting?
• What was it like to be named to the Pro Bowl last season?  Did you think that you would get another chance to start for the Titans, and furthermore what do you expect from this team this season with the loss of Albert Haynesworth?
• Do you envision yourself as a leader within the locker room?  You seem like a quiet guy off the playing field, who is the leader of this Titans team?

Surely I would be pleased to see Kerry's reaction to some of these questions.  Surely there would be more given his responses.  However, I don't think that there is a starting quarterback in the league who has put up with more off the field issues, and bounced back to a pro bowl season after numerous struggles, other than Mr. Collins. 

I look forward to seeing what he has in store for us this season, the resilient Kerry Collins, searching for a ring.
