If you could have three Titans in their prime...

I know that McNair, Haynesworth and Kearse are obvious, but I think Michael Roos and Brad Hopkins have to at least be considered. Left tackle is one of the most important positions on the field and without one you'll have a difficult time winning consistently.

You didn't read the question good enough

to help the team as it exists now

You already have Roos and Stewart at OT as the team exist right now.

The way the question is worded the choice of McNair in his prime is a lock unless you're biased or completely stupid. I also think AH is a lock. I think Kearse is next but you could make some arguments about other players.

Yeah I didn't read the question well enough.

I think you could make an argument about Moss but that's about it.

An offense with McNair at QB and Moss at WR, both in their primes, would be difficult to stop.

For the people saying Eddie George, the only reason you'd want Eddie George is that it would get Chris Johnson off the team, instantly improving the TOP and the offense as a whole.

CJ had 1,052 touches in three years before his contract. Arian has had 1,115 in the past three years. A bit more than 20 touches extra per season... you could call it close, I wouldn't but that's getting into hair splitting. Either way it's more and more physical.

So roughly a touch and a half more a game.

Eddie George/guards is a laugher. McNair won the MVP with Eddie George playing about as bad as CJ right now.

McNair converted 3rd down so well in his prime that I wouldn't even consider anything at RB.

And yes Moss is the only arguable player from the 3

Eddie was playing bad because our former HC. who was forced to resign, ran him to the ground with an obscene amount of carries. Eddie was out of gas by 2001.

That's what you're suppose to do to RBs, they are like styrofoam cups, you use them then cast them out.

Almost an extra game each year.

This difference however being that CJ is on the field much more than Foster. Foster at least has plays off because of the RBs behind him...Tate in particular. I would bet that that "almost extra game a year" easily is cancelled out by amount of time played.

Thats likely, though keep in mind that Foster was also injured for a bundle of games and still got his workload higher... and time on the field only matters so much as compared to the hits getting tackled, etc.

Anywho, Foster is getting worked like a dog and over the course of the year it showed. That's really the point.

I agree with this for the most part. The only part I would argue is that Foster is usually replaced on 3rd and long where CJ stays in. CJ faces contact on those plays picking up the blitz....something he is actually decent at. Also, CJ is not going to get the workload while the Titans are down by 30...which happened a lot this year.

To take the question even further...

If the Titans had the three players (whoever you chose) in their primes, would they win the Super Bowl this season? I'm not sure a QB would have any time at all with Kearse and Haynesworth.
