Definitely deserves it. He's the second best receiver of all time in my opinion

Who ya got? Im assuming Rice at #1. I'm not ever gonna be able to talk you out of Marvin #2, but can I ask for your list at least?

Me personally. Rice, Hutson, Moss, Alworth, then probably TO. Im not sure I could put Marv up there that high. He falls in the Carter/Reed/Ward/Holt range. Top 10/15.

The thing that always impressed my the most about Marvin Harrison is the fact that he never ran his mouth on the field, he never celebrated when he made big plays, and he never had to try and be flashy or anything in order to get attention. He was just a great player, and his performance in games spoke for itself. I really miss Marvin. He deserves every accolade bestowed upon him. By the way, what is this Ring of Honor? This is the first that I've heard of it.

100% this. Ultimate pro. Do your job to the highest of your profession, without the diva antics and 'look at me' attitude. A true sporting superstar.

I am sure there will be a debate, but he had the greatest hands and ability to make some kind of seperation at the last second of anyone I have ever seen. He wasnt going to break a tackle, but he was going to run crisp routes and catch anything within his reach. He was the best I have ever seen. Rice was great too, but a different kind of reciever.

On Polian Show

Polian stated that he, and the coaches, were the ones who told Harrison to always 'go down' instead of taking a big hit.

Maybe because of slight frame afraid get hurt or fumble ??

I'm not very good with football history. I certainly have Rice at #1 and Harrison at #2. Moss and Hutson are both top 5 in my opinion. Cris Carter and TO both make it into the top 10. Again, I don't know much about historical players, so my list isn't a very comprehensive one

Let's hope he doesn't bring his guns and start shooting. He deserves to be on a wall of shame..not a ring of honor. I thought the Colts were an organization of class. Sorry but Marvin brought this on himself.

Well he is innocent until proven guilty. Imagine if he was proven innocent. Don't you think it would be wrong that you slammed him with the allegations, and he did absolutely nothing.

Best route runner in the history of the game. Tough as nails player that stayed healthy his whole career. Incredible hands and awesome speed. He won't get into the HOF on the first ballot, but IMO he should. Marvin is one of those players that also makes your Quarterback a better player. Not many receivers do that.

you are one of those Colts fans that doesnt appreciate it's players. All he did was defend his club from some criminal that was causing problems there. Get your facts straight.

Are you his wife? it shouldn't matter what he does off the field. Players are judged by what they do in the game.

Well here's one account of the story http://www.gq.com/sp...000000000064833

Maybe it's true and maybe it's not. There's no disagreeing what a great player he was for the Colts. I just think the truth should come out first before we call him 'honorable'. Or we could be like the Bengals and not care.

Well said, Marvin played with so much class. The players of today need to look at him and pattern themselves after him. It was not about Marvin it was about the team. He would catch a TD, or burn a corner he never get in no ones face. All he would do is give the ball to the Ref. CLASS ACT.

143 catches. 20 more then second best season for receptions in NFL history. That's just a staggering accomplishment, and it's only one of his many, many impressive seasons. It'll be tough for him to get into the Hall because of the backlog of receivers in front of him and the line of big number guys behind him, but it really shouldn't be.

I think its a darn good list and pretty acurate. Harrison dosnt seem to get the credit because he wasnt the tall reciever everyone wants but he could do more than Moss or TO ever could. He was special. There are allot of Moss like recievers out there but no Marvins. They are hard to find

No Marvin doesn't get the credit because he truly didn't separate himself like those other WR. Marvin is in the mold of Reed/Carter/Bruce/Holt/Brown/Smith/Ward. Several WR are like Marvin. The real question is, is will Peyton help or hurt Marvins chances. As for Moss, that guy was special, one trick or not. And TO was an elite WR for 3 different teams, no other WR can come close to saying that. Say what you want about both of there attitudes and personas but they performed on levels few reach.

Love Marvin, but his spot in NFL history is cloudy at best.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By smittywerb · Posted

      I just knew there was going to be a run on WRs later in the first.   welp, hoping we trade up for either AD (character concerns and all) or Troy Franklin.   there is no way we can leave this draft not drafting some type of burner in this deep WR draft.     Welp, can’t be too mad.  We can’t pick ‘em all and I’m ok with who we picked.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By LJpalmbeacher2 · Posted

      I haven't paid much attention to the draft and looking OR making mocks 'cause with Ballard you usually will be disappointed...... like most on this Forum are tonight. Lol   But I wasn't surprised by a defensive linemen being picked. I didn't think he would go CB or trade up for a elite receiver or Bowers would fall to 15. And honestly I know noting about Latu  except a few highlights I seen switching from the draft and Yankee game.  I liked the highlights but not crazy about the conference he played in and  his medical history.   I was hoping for Bowers but not surprised he's not a colt especially when Denver chose the last QB and the raiders were right behind them. I heard the raiders liked Bowers and with no QB left to possibly sway them I had a feeling they would grab him. We all know it was unlikely Ballard would trade up for him(even if he had him high on his board?)   Kudos for the bears getting a great prospect, I hope they don't mess him up.  And to the Patriots for getting imo the second best QB. The Falcons getting Pence for life after Cousins(which may be sooner than later) I think was a good move.

      I mean, i kinda ma because in year 4 Trey had 13.5 sacks and probably way more pressures than paye has had in year 4.  Paye has one more year to show he can be the pass rusher we need.     and only reason why Trey was being compared to Paye is because someone else brought him.  There is honestly no comparison when it comes to their year 4s

      5 best remaining WR’s according to PFF   WR ADONAI MITCHELL, TEXAS. Mitchell's fluidity and size make him a tough matchup for anyone, especially in the red zone. ...  WR TROY FRANKLIN, OREGON. ...  WR LADD MCCONKEY, GEORGIA. ...  WR KEON COLEMAN, FLORIDA STATE. ...  WR ROMAN WILSON, MICHIGAN.

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…). ****NO SPOILERS****

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      Falcons probably drafted Penix because they liked him, more than most other players because of the importance of QB position as well.   Note that They didn't draft JJ McCarthy so it shows Falcons staff definitely had their preference, inclination and liking to his QB play more than anyone else.   I think the thumb rule is if a team likes a QB very much, there are chances it won't happen again sooner in future, and even if they like few QBs in near future they may not be in position to draft the players they love.   So, general rule is always draft a QB if you like and when you can - same with Lions last year, and I hope Vikings did the same this draft.
