    The guy who wrote that is a professional troll.

    Clay Travis. The DW of journalists.

    Finny man, that is a very high expectation for this team. Need to be realistic here.

    Peyton worship is a smart career move for ink stained wretches. Peter King has made a career out of sucking hard on the cock's of whomever the top QBs are at the time. Means he can always get an interview with them.

    Haven't read the article, Clay Travis graduated from UT (I did as well), so it's not exactly like he's saying this without knowledge.

    I say the same things because it's true. Fan base, as a whole, is delusional.

    I remember when a guy in class was talking to me about the Bama game in 2012... He said we have a good chance at winning. I told him we'd lose 45-13 (actual score was 44-13 and they missed a PAT). Then in 2013 everyone thought we could beat Oregon. I said "nope, Oregon wins 56-17." It was 59-14.

    Watching the Seahawks run train on Peyton in Knoxville was absolutely glorious. A truly fine moment.

    I tried to warn them that it was the best defense Peyton will have ever faced. They were in absolute denial. I guaranteed a Seahawks victory. Everyone made fun of me and said I was clueless and just a hater. Just kept saying "alright, get back with me after the game." Felt pretty damn awesome rolling into class to see all the butthurt Peyton d*ck riders making excuses and whining about sh*t that I told them would happen.

    That said, I expect UT to go 8-4 this year. So at least they're moving in the right direction.

    I usually get sucked into the off season everyone is praising everyone kind of bit, but this feels a bit different. Obviously, our ceiling is a bit limited due to a rookie QB, but if everything goes right (and I mean everything) then there's a potential WC spot for us.

    -A very talented QB who the team can rally around and bring a new energy
    -Much stronger surround core around Mariota. Sankey and two strong runners in Cobb and Fowler, an improved OL, a couple new weapons on the outside and McBride who could be a nice surprise.
    -On defense, Lebeau obviously. Another big bonus, an offense that can hopefully stay on the field and sustain drives. That will go a pretty far way.
    -As for additions, Cox and Searcy are big for the backfield. We really missed out on having another solid CB across from McCourty and hopefully Searcy can bring back out good Michael Griffin. We give him a lot of slack but when paired with even just a solid SS, he can perform. The front 7 will have Brown back and Orakpo to pair with Morgan.

    Health was the main issue from last year. Not only do injuries hurt the talent level on the field but it can mess with consistency and chemistry from everyone else on the field. QB and OL are probably the most significant and the Titans had guys sleeping in their cars ready to be called up. Injuries happen but having a healthier team this year can go a long way. I'm not ready to name the Titans a darkhorse team or say rebuilding is over or anything but I think the Titans go at least 6-10. I know I mentioned a lot of positives but there are still a few holes and a rookie QB can make things kind of hard to gauge. A 4 win improvement is solid and that's a neutral/realistic prediction.

    Can we be great like Walker said? Sure. Anything can happen but great to me this year is 8-8 and sneaking into the playoffs.

    It's going to hit him eventually though.

    New team, extra year, not much tread. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't all that effective (except against us). He's 300 carries away from being at Eddie George-levels numbers.
