Assani,
All it tells us is VY is better than Kerry Collins it doesn't tell you much

Kerry Collins, while easy to make fun of, is a legit starting NFL QB(maybe "was"). He was a top pick(so we know he has the natural tools), has veteran experience, and doesn't make too many bonehead mistakes after his first few years in the league.

Kerry Collins was signed only a few weeks before the season started. He managed to complete 46% of his passes at 6.1 yards per attempt with 1 TD and 6 interceptions. All Vince Young had to do was not throw two interceptions per game to be an improvement over Kerry Collins.

That, and his rushing abilities, are the differences between Young and Collins last year. Young completed 51% of his passes for 6.2 ypa. But he threw 12 touchdowns, ran for 7 more, and threw only 13 interceptions. One of them came in week 1, and 7 came in the 3 blowouts (Dallas, JAX, and New England). So in the other games - the ten close games VY started - he threw only five interceptions.

So yeah, Young was a pretty big improvement over Collins.
