    1. John Runyan, hands down. Those 9 seasons speak for themselves.


    2. Eddie George, not just because he was our guy for so long but because he went to the Dallas Fin' Cowboys. I was born and raised here in Texas (not a VY, or a UT extremist) and born and raised an Oiler. So I have always hated the Cowgirls. It was sad too. Eddie didn't want to take a paycut and he took more money to play in Dallas instead of staying a Titan.

    3. Steve McNair, technically, we traded him. But, like Eddie, Steve was our franchise QB. He embodied what it meant to be a Titan, again, like Eddie. These guys were done extra dirty, and extra dry. They were shown no respect or appreciation for what they help build. Very sad.

    Yeah, but those guys were both finished when they moved on. The Titans got all of their juice.

    I'll say:

    1. Mason - He has played well for Baltimore and we've been unable, to this point, to adequately replace him.

    2. Lorenzo Neal - Just look at all the popularity contests he won, er.... I mean just look at all of the Pro Bowls he has been selected to since leaving Tennessee.

    3. Rolle - I'll say this just because it was such a struggle to replace him.

    Of course it has hard to argue with anyone who would put Runyon or some of the others on the list. One name that I haven't seen mentioned, but maybe merits to be, is Juqua Thomas. I believe he actually supplanted Jevon Kearse in the starting lineup, during Freak's last season in Philly.

    Strange that LoNeil is currently teamless... He's gotta have some gas left in the tank..

    Eddie George- Even though he had fallen off a little bit in his latter years with the team; he was the emotional leader of the team and that became apparent after he left.
    Derrick Mason- Still won't give up that number one spot in Baltimore and still making plays.
    Steve Mcnair- What can I say the guy was a warrior and the rest of team looked to him for motivation and mentorship.

    EG - nothing wrong with making third and 1 automatic. Although Kearse was the original Titan - 1st draft pick by the Titans. EG was a true Titan until he signed with the gayboyz, did he spend a crazy weekend with Ricky Williams or what?

    DM - only went to Murdermore for his family, I guess he hates them.

    McMVP - Too bad Buss Cook screwed Steve and the Titans just for a stinkin' payday Buss was gonna get anyways.


    Neal - one of FR/JF bigger mistakes IMO

    Fat Albert - did an attitude 180 and I think he will be the real deal for the Tampskins. I wish VY would learn a lesson from FA and change his attitude.

    Rocky Boiman - best hair of any Titan ever and without Boiman the only ring on Gaytons finger would be from Kenny C

    I'd have to agree with many of you:

    1) Jon Runyan
    2) Derrick Mason
    3) Lorenzo Neil

    The ones that made me the maddest were:

    1) Jevon Kearse because he was one of my favorites, I got into the team as soon as they came to TN and that was his first year.

    2) Samari Rolle because it was like automatic he'd get a pick a game practically, I loved watching his INT returns.

    3) Steve McNair because of the whole situation, made me embarassed for the organization and to be their fan..then he f'ing signs with Baltimore and we see ReyRey talking on ESPN going "Yeah i said hey steve come over here.." :grrr::irked:
