Harrison vs Wayne

[T Y Goodbye]

I have a feeling that this is going to stir up a good debate. Who overall do you think is better..Harrison, or Wayne...Harrison had a couple years before Reggie, and Reggie has had a couple since Marvin left football.. I'm just curious to see what our family here has to think about this one...And, take this into account..Marvin had every year with Peyton...Reggie's in his second without...

The reason I'm posting this is that I really can't decide...What do you think?

[Captain Americolt]

1A and 1B to me.

reggie didnt shoot anyone so i'll say him and marvin didnt have every year with peyton.

[coltsblue1844]

Personally, i would give Marvin the edge...he had everything that Reggie does (minus the size) and was faster.

[Mouthfire]

Marvin was an all-time great, somewhere in the ranks with Jerry Rice and Randy Moss. As much as I love Reggie, historically, he's not up there.

[Smitto]

Hands down its marvin

Marvin also had two years before Peyton and had Peyton as a rookie. In a lot of ways Reggie and Marvin are going to end up balanced in that regard because Luck looks really good.

I think Marvin is better although if I was starting a team and got told I could have Reggie Wayne in his prime as my number one guy I wouldn't complain.

[Coltsman1788]

Reggie is great but Marvin was on another level. 88 all day.

[Nobody]

reggie didnt shoot anyone so i'll say him and marvin didnt have every year with peyton.

Why even bring that up? What does that have to do with who is the better player? No question Marvin is better. Get out of here with that disrespect.

[jvan1973]

Marvin, and its not close.. I love Reg, but 88 was an all time great.

[jvan1973]

reggie didnt shoot anyone so i'll say him and marvin didnt have every year with peyton.

Weird, i dont recall him being convicted of anything...

[Junior]

Can I get Marvin in the Regular season and Reggie in the post season?

[Coltswarriors]

Both amazing and should be in consideration for HOF, DEFINITELY Ring of Honor.

Personally, I like Reggie Wayne. Always have, always will. Rarely drops a pass, great route runner, hasn't lost a step. Don't get me wrong, I love Marvin too.

[IndyTrav]

That's a tough one.

Marvin has the stats.

In a vacuum I think it would have to be Reggie.

Give me Marvin circa 99-02 Reggie every other year.

Reggie in the playoffs as well.

Based on all that. The edge goes to Reggie.

[Nostrils]

Marvin, then Reggie.. as much as I love the both of them, thats how i see it.. I don't even know how many TD's ive seen marvin score where no one is within 15 yards of him because his route running was top notch.. Reggie is the man though too.. ahhhhhh my head is gonna explodeee

[21isSuperman]

I don't think it's even close. In my opinion, Marvin is the 2nd best WR of all time and the greatest route runner of all time. Reg is a top 20 WR all time (I just plucked a number out of my head, it's possible that if i actually sit down and make a list, Reg could be top 10 or not even in the top 20)

[indy1888]

Marvin. The only edge i would give to Reggie would be that he seemed to have better playoff games. Manning had a few bad games in the postseason too though. But overall i would take Marvin. He was a great WR.

[Gavin]

Marvin no question but I do like Reggie more personally

[BOTT]

would rather have reggie

[Gavin]

Reggies had the case of the drops, a few stick out in my mind at the worst times (Super Bowl vs New Orleans) after Manning through the pick 6 because of a bad route by Reggie and then Reggie dropped a pass in the end zone on the next possession that would have brought us back to within 1 score. his route running is much better but not on Marvins level, and Marvin was clearly faster

[The Fish]

Reggie started with Marvin established on the team. I think Reggie while not as much of a home run threat as 88 was in his prime, has enjoyed similar success and has continued longevity. They have similar qualities as players, and I think it's closer than some are saying, but 88 had more years with 18.

[Warhorse]

Cant choose because they are like family. Love them both. I would take Marvin in any one on one. I would take Reggie against a double team where the chains have to move.

[MrJaffer]

Marvelous Marvin is a top 5 wide receiver of all time. Not sure anyone can say that about Reggie, although I am obviously a huge fan.

I love how both these guys just fly under the radar. They both have displayed unbelievable consistency at the position without ever being a prima donna.

[Stephen]

both are good

[IndyTrav]

I'm also excited about this thread because I can again begin my crusade to convince people Marvin is not a top 5WR of all time.

[ColtJ82]

Tough one. Each brings/brought a different dynamic to the game. I also think each one helped the other become what they are. I would have to give the edge to Marvin because I think he initially played a larger role in Reggie's success than vice versa. However, I believe neither becomes what they are without the other (and Peyton).

[OJl]

Not even close.

I like Reggie more from a personal standpoint.

But Marvin Harrison is the best WR in Colts history, Indy or Baltimore. Marvin is probably one of the 5 or 6 best WRs to ever play. Marvin in his prime changed how teams played defense.

Even in his prime, Reggie never forced opponents to change their entire defensive gameplan. Reggie is much beloved. Reggie might even make it to the Hall of Fame one day. But Reggie will never be considered an all-time great.

Blasphemer!!!!

[shakedownstreet]

wayne wouldn't be the player he is today had he not played with marvin

[ProblChld32]

Harrison, he Had speed that killed and ran precise routes with Hands just as good if not better than Reggie...

[chad72]

Marvin had greater talent, no doubt. Reggie has greater heart with talent a few notches below Marvin, but showed up in big games better, and probably mentored more wideouts during his tenure as a Colt, IMO.

[The Fish]

Could some one dig up the pertinent numbers on this? Did they have their best years lining up together? I'd guess so.

[TKnight24]

Marvin, it was just something about him.

Both are Great, but I'd take Marvin

LOVED him in Madden 08 with his "Quick WR" Ability Icon

[JoKeR]

The only things Wayne seems better at is being more physical and more durable. He's also more of a leader.

With this squad, I'd take Reggie.

[PrincetonTiger]

Reggie

[PatMcAfeeFan]

Marvin taught Reggie well, so my gut tells me to go with Marv, but my head is telling me to go with Reggie. Reggie is just so durable and makes big plays when he needs to.

[PrincetonTiger]

Marvin had Peyton in his prime Reggie did not

Marvin was #1 since day one and Reggie had to earn it.

[achcolts]

marvin was prob the better of the two, but i love reggie wayne way more. 2nd fave colt

[hawkeyes]

I'll take Reggie!

Its been a while so that could be the reason I dont remember, but at this moment I dont recall a lot of circus / tough catches by Marvin ... it seemed like he got most of his receptions streaking down the field. Reggie this season has been making circus catch after circus catch ... as he has said its like he is a rookie again.

[Coltssouth]

Marvin. Nothing against Reggie he is a great player but Marvin brought a kinda' poetry and fluidity to his moves that Reg doesn't. I just loved watching him play. He was special.
