After an eleven year marriage with Indianapolis, it was time for the home state king to return home. At least many thought Peyton Manning would come to lead the Titans back to a relevance that haven’t had since the days of Steve McNair and Eddie George.
Manning chose to go to Denver and Tennessee found it’s own route. Manning went to two Super Bowl’s, and broke the single-season touchdown record by throwing 55 in 2013 while the Titans went through era’s of Vince Young, Jake Locker, and short term options of Matt Hassellback and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The obvious answer is that the Titans got the rough end of the decision with loosing seaonsas Manning rode into the sunset.
