Volek had an opportunity (albeit probably short term) going into the 2006 season after McNair was traded to the Ravens. Fisher named Volek the starter and all was going well until Fisher then decided to sign Kerry Collins during camp. The story goes that the signing of Collins upset Volek and drove a wedge between himself and Fisher and Volek was subsequently traded to the Chargers. The Titans who had drafted Vince Young earlier that year, started Collins in the first 3 games of the season and then turned to Young. Going to the Chargers was never going to give Volek any great exposure and so there he remained entrenched as the back-up.

Volek who had filled in admirably for McNair during that 2004 season had few opportunities in 2005 with a now relatively healthy McNair at the helm and so perhaps if he had been able to latch onto another team in need of a QB at the start of that 2005 season, then his fortunes may have changed but by 2006 and his best opportunity gone with the Titans, he faced a decidedly gloomy future.

He will always be remembered for becoming just the 4th QB at the time (after Fouts, Marino and Simms) to Pass for 400 Yds in consecutive games.]]></description>
