I'd rather it not, and I'd also there be no Wayne, Clark or anyone else involved. I've long claimed that the difference between the 2000s Colts and the 2000s Bills is 18, so any team right now with Peyton is a better team than the Colts of the last ten years, so I expect bigger things from that team than than the Colts have done, and I'd rather no other big free agents get added to the mix to share the credit.
My main goal here is to rub it in people's faces that I was right, and 1 or 2 rings in the next 4 years with any number of these single digit win teams and no other acquisitions makes it hard for even my greatest antagonists to argue with any actual belief in what they say.
So bring on the Titans, the Dolphins, the Broncos or the Cards and let's see my theory go to work. If the best he can do with the 9-7 Titans is go 11-5 and one and done for three years then shame on me for arguing all these years, but 1 ring in 4 years will justify everything and his place on the next top 100 will jump from 8 to 1, and 1 more ring after that leaves no one else in the discussion.
Lunatic:
Titans receiving core is underrated with plenty potential. VERY dangerous if Britt can stay healthy. Guys like Damian Williams, Jared Cook, Nate Washington & Lavelle Hawkins would probably look great with Peyton throwing to them.

I think Peyton Manning is going to be a Titan
Peyton Manning and Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak will meet Wednesday, a league source told NFL Network.
NFL Network's Albert Breer reported earlier Tuesday that the Titans are confident in Munchak's ability to recruit -- the coach was a major reason why quarterback Matt Hasselbeck landed in Nashville last year. Titans coach Bud Adams said over the weekend that Manning is the quarterback he wants.
In the event they sign Manning, the Titans would prefer to keep 2011 first-round draft pick Jake Locker, team sources told Breer. Hasselbeck almost certainly would be traded or released.
Manning, the NFL's only four-time MVP, has visited with the Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins after being released by the Indianapolis Colts last week.
Former Colts chairman Bill Polian, who worked with Manning in Indianapolis, believes it's a two-team race for the quarterback's services.
"Well, I see it as a dead heat at this point (between the Broncos and Titans)," Polian said Tuesday on ESPN. "The Titans do have the home-field advantage as both he and his wife have a great affection for the state of Tennessee, they have a home in Chattanooga, so it's possible that that could be the deciding factor. But I think for sure (he'll join an) AFC (team) and (it's) very definitely a tough decision for him."

Houston won't like it one bit. The Colts are bracing themselves to be losers for the next 3 or 4 years, and the Jags might want to think about Hasselbeck if Peyt comes home to Tenn
A lot of nice stories wit Peyton in Tennessee, the obvious is the Vols connection, the two timesa year he'll play the Colts, and the fact that the Titans used to be the Houston Oilers where Peyton's dad got replaced by Andrew Luck's dad.
With Marshall gone from Miami the Titans or Broncos are the only two teams in the current race I want Peyton to go to. The question with Locker comes in at how long can they bench him and how long does Manning want to play. 3 years or less should be no problem, but if Peyton wants to play 4 or 5 years Jake might start getting restless.
