Tennessee Titans Daily Links: The Calls For Peyton To Nashville Begin Edition

DB Alterraun Verner exhibited tremendous improvement in his second season. Verner ranked near the top of the league among all CBs in yards-per-catch allowed and yards-after-the-catch, according to FootballOutsiders.com.

Look, I know the guy in his prime is likely the best. But he’s not in his prime, and we need to move on.

Bo-Knows scored 8TDs
and Howie Long had 4 INTs.

They are so unfair in that game haha

I’ll admit that I was one of the many on this site who completely opposed the idea of drafting Pierre-Paul, who was more impressive doing back flips at the combine than playing DE at South Florida. Completely missed there, here we are sitting two seasons later with DE still one of the weakest spots on the team.

Go FA for a DE…or…draft one in the latter rounds. That way, if he is a bust, at least we wouldn’t have wasted a 1st rd pick on him.

Take either Jamaal Anderson, Tyler Brayton or Robert Mathis.

So the chances they pursue an injured Peyton Manning are less than 0%

But I’ve talked about this on Vols fan blogs, and it’s an interesting scenario.

Since Peyton being amazing and getting drafted by the Colts kind of coincided with the Titans emerging in Tennessee, there has always been a disconnect between Vols fans and Titans fans, especially in East TN and around Knoxville.

Nothing would serve to unite the entire state of Tennessee behind the Titans like bringing in Peyton. Suddenly, the Titans will pick up an entire die hard fan base that puts nearly 100,000 people in the seats of Neyland Stadium at even the crappiest of home games, even when the team blows.

And bringing him in doesn’t mean we aren’t sold out on Locker. The idea would be to bring in Peyton for 2 years and let Locker do the Aaron Rodgers thing. Let him learn from arguable the best ever for a couple of seasons before handing him the keys to the franchise.

Not only that, but if he’s healthy, our offense becomes elite, and with as good as our defense is becoming, we’re a Super Bowl contender.

ALL that said, I would be very surprised if the Titans were even considering it.

l;augh at it for the moment

Peyton is NOT coming to Tennessee.

There. It’s over. Done.

I’m sure every team out there (minus the ones with the 3 or 4 elite qb’s mind you) is asking the same question as we are, and all of them are pondering silliness. If he’s not returning to Indy, he’s retiring.

And over those years I have learned a few things. I hate the Ravens. I hate the Steelers. I dis-like little brother sparkley kittens and Texans. But above all that I HATE the colts and mainly Manning. I’m talking change the channel every time one of his lame commercials come on tv, Turn around ever wheaties box with his face on it. I would never turn my back on my team but i would be way less active in watching interviews and connecting with the team. It wold be a struggle for me watching my team lead by someone i have spent many years hating.

Yeah, I’ve called him every kind of low down POS asshole when he’s been playing against my team, but I still think he’s an all time great player. I’d love to see him come finish his career here. C’mon people, he might get us a title.

the Titans will be beastly with him but won’t be good enough to win a Superbowl then Manning will retire and Locker will step in and take us to the Superbowl the very next season…You get where I’m going with this?

But where he goes or if he retires is going to be a fun story to watch unfold this offseason. I’m pumped that this may be one of the most entertaining offseasons in a decade, after one of the most miserable ones ever last year.

Because I’m tired of QB Controversies every freakin’ year.

We already have one. And we have future 3 time super bowl MVP Jake Locker waiting for his chance. The titans don’t need that eggheaded, game-killing interception throwing, old, broken-necked, playoff losing, farmboy hick on their team. HELL NO. Why any titans fan would want him on our team is beyond me. It doesn’t matter where he played in college. You think Jax fans want Tim “fullback” Tebow on their team because he was a Gator?(well the smart ones don’t anyway). Screw Pey Pey, I hope he never plays another down. I dont see Ravens fans clamoring to sign Big Ben. Rivals will always be rivals.
