Peyton Could Return to the Volunteer State

We all know this too well: The Titans can not win the division because the guy who once saved this state, was determined to destroy it. But now it seems that Bud Adams wants to go after this guy(what?) and said he would be disappointed if Peyton did not become a Titan.

Now, I only have one good memory of Peyton since he has been a Colt, and that came when Rob Bironas kicked a historic 60-yard-feild-goal to win the game in regulation at home. In that moment it felt good as a fan to have finally beat the unbeatable Colts in such a storybook ending.

Now with all that has happened in the last month there is a realistic chance that Peyton could return to the state of Tennessee. I always felt that with a player like Peyton it is better to beat them, than to join them. In this situation, however I would be happy to have him on our team for many reasons. (I don't want to hear it because we all know if Lebron went back to Cleveland they would do the same)

Jake Locker is still the future of the TennesseeTitans, but who would be a better person to play behind and learn from than Peyton Manning. Aaron Rogers was a first round draft pick and played behind Favre for a good while and now he is a Super Bowl winning QB. Steve Young did the same with Joe Montanna, so why not bring a situation like that to LP Field?

Kenny Britt may have to give up his #18 jersey but I think he won't mind. Kenny Britt is one of the more dynamic receivers in the NFL. However, injuries have hurt his performance. If you don't think what I'm saying is true go back the last two seasons and look at his stats up to when he was injured. There are no concerns of it lingering because he has come back from both of them and put up great numbers. Nate Washington is the speedy receiver and a great way to strech the feild. He also put up good numbers last year. Jared Cook is one of the great young TE's in the leauge that had a breakout year. Finally, Chris Johnson almost has to have a GREAT season to justify that contract he signed last season. Last year he will get a pass because he missed all of training camp and pre-season, but this year 1500 yards will be expected of CJ2K.

The O-line has been one of the best in the last years and assuming Peyton returns to what he was; he will have more than enough time. Also, with the run game expected to get better it should all fair well.

I do expect the former Vol to become a Titans. Now the only issue is how Peyton will play outdoors?
