No, I am not speaking about our QB.

I am talking about Reginald Wayne.

Marvin Harrison will always hold a special place in my heart, because he displayed the type of plays that were the reason I became a true NFL fan in the first place....outstanding feats of human performance, filmed by the best crews on the planet. But as incredible as Marv's epic collection of highlight catches that defied gravity and logic were, he never took the team on his back when the opposition had him as the only real receiving threat and turned in the kind of performance that Reggie did today.

This is not meant to demean MH in any way...shape...or fashion. It is just that in my heart, after witnessing what I saw today, Reggie moves into the number one spot as a Colt WR.

I ask that this not turn into a comparison debate thread. If you feel different, that is completely ok. This is just my way of honoring the incredibly long road that Reggie has traveled in Marvin's shadow. Today, he stepped into the sunshine.

Oh, I ran into Reggie while returning from the SB village early this year. He was gracious to have a photo taken with him next to me that I still cherish now, outside St. Elmo's Steakhouse. :)

I told him while getting the picture taken "I wish you would stay and I will never forget his winning TD in that 4th & 2 game".

He stayed and he keeps catching more game winning TDs. I am so glad he chose to stay, can you tell??? :)

I beg to respectfully differ with you slightly WH. Yes, Reggie Wayne played "lights out" today no question. However, the torch was literally passed to Wayne the minute Harrison refused to take a pay cut under GM Bill Polian and was systematically released. The torch was passed years ago not just by today's lone LOS performance alone. I agree with your initial premise WH just not your timetable.

I agree with southwest1 the torch was passed years ago. i think as far back as 2005. not too get too far off topic but Reggie and Marv even Peyton have taught me so much over the years in how to handle lifes situations and thats just to be prepared. Extensive preparation leaves you in a position to be able to handle anything that arises.

To follow up Warhorses statement. I get what you are saying man. While Reggie has been strong along the years, and has worked his tail off, he really shined yesterday. I get what SW is saying too. Yeah, the torch was passed when Marv left, but I get the point in what WH is saying. Reggie made some astounding plays yesterday and put the new era Colts on a different page in the book. Reggi IS Luck's MH. It's a new day, a new time, a new Colts! It's awesome! I love it! Reggie is solidly REGGIE! I'm not saying it hasn't been coming, I'm just sayin' I understand WH's position in his statement. It's not wrong. Marvin was wonderful for us, and always did his part. Now today, it's Reggie! In his own right, with his own players, in his own time. Is the next Reggie/Marvin on the team now? 5 years from now, are we saying this same thing about one of our young receivers stepping out of Reggie's light. I think this is sort of the point Warhorse is making. Good post!

LET'S GO!!!! :coltslogo: :coltslogo: :coltslogo:

      2024 NBA, Pacers and all NBA talk

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Many in the media and fans seem to think Brunson has outplayed Haliburton by a lot in this series. Stats prove otherwise.   Series stats: Brunson 28.1 Points 6.7 Assists FG% 47.9 FT% 84.2   Haliburton 20.1 Points 10.9 Assists FG% 47.7% FT% 85.5   Assists are like Points; Haliburton is averaging 4 more = 8 points for his teammates. He hasn't been the scorer that Brunson has been, but Brunson takes more shots. Their FG% and FT% are almost equal so both are efficient. 1 last thing, it isn't like Haliburton isn't scoring either. He is giving us 20 Points a game. He just also loves getting his teammates involved.   I do think Brunson has been better in the series but not by much like many think.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By Trace Pyott · Posted

      I say 8.  I think the floor is 5 and the ceiling 10.   This will still basically be richardsons rookie year and I think he will still be a little inconsistent. I see him having a season much like stroud did last year.  We are a better team than last year but our schedule is tougher than last year as well. I see us going 8wins 9 losses.

      Colts 2024 season by opposing QB

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      There was so much talk last year about part of our success came from a weak schedule plus poor quarterbacks Indy faced.   So I thought I’d show our 24 schedule and feature the quarterbacks we face:   1.  Hou — Stroud 2.  GrB — Love 3.  Chi  — Williams 4.  Pit   — Wilson 5.  Jax  — Lawrence 6.  Ten. — Levis  7.  Mia  — Tua 8.  Hou — Stroud 9.  Min  — McCarthy 10. Buf. — Allen 11.  NYJ — Rodgers 12.  Det — Goff 13.  NE. — Maye 14.  BYE 15. Den — Nix 16. Ten — Levis 17.  NYG — Jones 18.  Jax. — Lawrence   Four rookies:  Williams, McCarthy, Maye, Nix.   Two 2nd year QBs:  Stroud, Levis Two young veterans:  Lawrence, Tua Four Vets of various years:  Allen, Rodgers,  Goff, Wilson That’s a total of 12.    Lawrence, Stroud, Levis the Colts face X2.  That’s a total of 15.    Then Love and Jones round out the 17 QBs the Colts face.   Sure feels like a tougher schedule of QBs than we faced last year.

      I totally agree!! I’m sure Shane had the rug pulled from under him after AR went down…. Especially with JT being back…… I think we will see a vastly different type of Offense… the few times we see Shane reference the Jt /AR combo he grins like a goat eating briars !! You add Pitt, downs,AD, woods, Ogletree……. We’re kinda scary

      Phase 2 of off season program began Monday May 13 right after rookie camp. Whole team together but offense vs defense can't practice against each other.
