11. Peyton Manning/Reggie Wayne: Indianapolis Colts

 

In the post Marvin Harrison era, Wayne took the torch as being Manning’s go-to target. During his 14-year career with the Colts, Wayne had eight seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving. He also managed to haul in 82 touchdowns during this time period. Manning’s resume has been chronicled ad nauseam. He is the all-time leader in passing yards (71,940), and is consistently mentioned as one of the best to ever throw a football in the history of the sport.

 

2. Peyton Manning/Marvin Harrison: Indianapolis Colts

 

The respective skill-sets of Manning and Harrison worked perfectly with one another. Manning’s unbelievable timing on throws was predicated greatly by Harrison’s ability to separate in coverage. One of the best technical receivers in league history, Harrison’s route-running capabilities led him to become an 8-time Pro Bowler and a 3-time First-team All-Pro. He also led the league in receiving yards twice with Manning under center. 114 of Manning’s 539 touchdowns throws went to Harrison. This statistic is simply mind-boggling — and further validates a top-three standing.

 

( Jerry Rice also got mentioned 2 times.  #3 with Steve Young, and #1 with Joe Montana.)

Also for retrospect on this list: Dan Marino--Mark Clayton & Jim Kelly--Andre Reed were snubbed.  Can you think of others that should be on here in place of someone else?

If we look at the numbers Jerry Rice and Steve Young had better numbers than Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice caught 50 more TDs with Steve Young than he did with Montana.

People are so caught up in super bowl rings that they overlook a lot of things. Rings are won by teams, not individuals.

If they were going to pair a WR with Bradshaw it would John Stallworth, not Lynn Swann.

Agreed if you go by td passes its PM #1... Young # 2 and so on. Championships are not a good barometer of individual success.

Luck and Hilton could certainly end up towards the top of the list.
