    Peyton Manning on the Titans would be a temporary fix that would damage the overall plan (the development of Jake Locker). It would be one small step forward in the short-term and two big steps backwards in the long-term.

    Manning would not come to a team where he was asked to be a mentor to a young quarterback and with the knowledge that he would eventually be asked to step aside for that young quarterback.

    This isn't Madden where you just add up the attributes and the highest number is the best team. There are very delicate issues related to chemistry, leadership and continuity at play.

    TheSureThing is right to a degree. If we had better QB play when C.J. was struggling, we'd be a playoff team.

    If we could rely on the running game to pick us up and convert 3rd downs, we wouldn't even have this discussion, but since Hasselbeck fell asleep at the wheel a few times, we're talking about having Manning (assuming he's cleared to play).

    This is ridiculous. He is a good player, but we don't need him. We have MH and Locker. Locker is going to be handed the keys within a year. No need for peyton unless he is the QB coach for us... ha

    titans fans of all fans saying "pleaseeeeee no" to Peyton Manning is baffling to me. Idk. Maybe I'm in the minority. But judging by the website and the billboards in Indianapolis I'd say thats not true.

    How exactly would a 2 year deal for the best Quarterback of all time damage Locker's development?

    Manning has NEVER said he has ANY problem mentoring Luck, Locker, or any other young QB. The colts are getting rid of him because of money and health, that is it.

    You guys want us to sign bums like Albert Haynesworth, Randy Moss, or Terrell Owens. Then Manning falls into our laps and you're threatening your fanship if we sign him?
