Titans Head Coach Mike Munchak is insisting that there’s an open competition between Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker to be the Titans starting quarterback, but you can add Adam Schefter to the list of people that thinks Hasselbeck is the favorite right now. That list includes Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt and ESPN AFC South blogger Paul Kuharsky.

While it’s definitely possible that either one could win the job, it sounds like a lot of people in the know would be surprised if Hasselbeck wasn’t the week 1 starter. Schefter went as far as to say that Hasselbeck could start the whole season and that Locker would only play in case of injury, which was the case last season. However, that would be a peculiar decision. Locker was the 8^th overall pick in 2011 and outplayed Hasselbeck in limited action when Hasselbeck was hurt last year. Hasselbeck also turns 37 in September.
