Matt Hasslebeck is an unknown for me, everytime I think he should just retire he comes back and has a game that makes me rethink my position, like the playoff game against the Saints last year. I think he's on the downside of his career, but in the event Hasslebeck gets injured I wouldn't think Locker would have the ability to step in and effectively manage the game, especially without CJ back there. Even if CJ comes back and gets his deal done, I think the only way they'd have a great shot at being able to win games is if CJ has one of those games where he can't be stopped. And even that might not be enough.
Kenny Britt is talented, but also inconsistent, and a definite unknown even with Hasslebeck throwing it to him. And their defense is an unknown for me as well, any given year they can either be a great ball hawking d or just a horrible sieve. I'd put the odds toward the latter with Washburn gone, is there any more underrated d-line coach in the league? So yeah, a lot of things considered, I could see them having anywhere from a horrible year to an average year. Definitely not a good year though.

The only thing I think you're guaranteed from a Hasselbeck/Locker/Rusty Smith QB depth chart is poor QB play. I wouldn't want to predict how that time will be split up for fantasy football purposes. But that's a massive depth chart fail. And all the money the Titans are spending there just makes a nice cherry on top of not knowing what they're doing.
I think Kenny Britt will get his. Suspensions, receiving yards, touchdowns: I think he's good for it. He's a very good player. I like Jared Cook as well.
But they don't have a defense that can defense the pass or the run, they have mistake-prone QBs, and their best offensive player may or may not play. If there's a team capable of 14 losses in the NFL, the Titans are that team.
Not predicting that they will lose that many games, I think I have them at 5-11. But I also don't have any team losing as many games as the Panthers did last year. Some team will.
