I thought this was a pretty cool tweet from Garcon.

[MB-ColtsFan]

I always thought Garcon was a good kid. Nice to see him giving props where deserved AND without any self-promotional fanfare.

I think we pretty much all agree that Reggie is da' man!

Thanks for the post, Kyle. Agree 100%.

[LockeDown]

That's a great pic.  As good as Marvin was, he was never the leader that Reggie has become. 

[Kyle]

Reggie is my ALL-TIME favorite Colt.  I always like the guy a lot but after we released Peyton and went into "reloading mode" he seemed like the one who was most willing to take what was offered to him, be an example to the younger guys, and work his a$$ and do WHATEVER was asked of him.  He is a true professional and the type of player you LOVE to have on ur team.  Therefore, he is my favorite player ever.

Me and you both!

anyone know reggie is second all time in playoff receptions

[oldunclemark]

One of the (few) advantages of social media is that you can say something like this....

 

In the past, Pierre might have thought it..but had no way or no time to say it...

 

 

      Its telling that he has the perception to know how much he was helped...by an old guy

[Gavin]

Always thought Garcon was a better wr then many will give him credit for, He had some drops but made some great catches  and had the potential to be a #1 wr here if he would cut down on just a few of the easy drops. Hope he can stay healthy this year

[jamesie jr]

I honestly believe he could overtake Jerry Rice (in playoff receptions)

[Kevin Bowen]

Reggie is just 32 catches away from 1,000 for his career.

 

If, (and hopefully when) he reaches that mark Reggie will join Hines Ward and Marvin Harrison as the only players in NFL history to acheive that mark with just one team.

i can never forgive him for dropping that easy pass in the super bowl. never

no way. reggie would have to keep playing for like 6 more years and make the playoffs every year to catch rice.

[Kyle]

and the problem is???   

[Dark Superman]

I wish we still had Garçon.

[CR91]

and the problem is???

wr don't tend to play til there 40

[Kenny]

He is only 59 behind. Could easily do it in 3 years and if we have good playoff pushes(WC round included) he could do it in 2 if he balls out like he did against BAL(Like 10 for 113 if I remember correctly). I don't see it hppening as soon as 2 but definitely 3-4. This year, next year, and if he decides to stay for 1 more aftercould see it happening.

Lets say he averages 5 catches a playoff game that's 12 playoff games.

Honestly, about 1/3 through last season I forgot all about him. Good move by Ryan to let him go.

Nothing against Garcon, but he took the money while Reggie took less and just plain balled it last year for us.

Way overpaid. I have nothing against Garcon, and I hope he does well. But he's a limited receiver, physically gifted, plays tough and with heart, but not particularly skilled.

actually thats not entirely true. grigson wanted to keep him. if memory serves he offered garcon 40 mil, but refused.

I think we offered five years, $35m. More than I thought we should have, by the way. So I'm glad the Redskins outbid us.

thanks for the correction

[braveheartcolt]

Sad. Marvin was and is a legend. Reggie is getting there. Persona is getting in the way of rational thought. The good feel factor of 87 vs the sullen genius of 88. Reggie is still the apprentice.

[LockeDown]

I never thought Garçon was a Colt kind of player. His first TD, he points to his name on the back of his jersey. That's fine if you can back it up but he often couldn't back it up.

[CanuckColt]

I wish we still had Garçon.

I'm happy we have Heyward-Bey instead.

[colts8718]

I second that neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah he was all about GARCON

[Kenny]

Lets say he averages 5 catches a playoff game that's 12 playoff games.

 

I think it's safe to say he will more than likely average more than that.

[CR91]

your expecting too much. reggie is no spring chicken

[Kenny]

Oh I agree on that, but speed was never his game. His impecable route running and hands are his forte. Those are two things you don't loose with time.

[Kyle]

wr don't tend to play til there 40

there can be exceptions to rules.

[CR91]

there can be exceptions to rules.

Can you name a wr that played til 40 besides rice

[TKnight24]

It's amazing that Reggie Wayne is by no means "Fast" like the Julio Jones' or the Ted Ginns or Percy Harvin yet he still continuously gets open

That, that just definitely speaks volumes to his route running and football IQ imo

[Dustin]

Never has been another WR to ever play past the age of 40.

[CR91]

That's my point

[T Y Goodbye]

Reggie is just 32 catches away from 1,000 for his career.

 

If, (and hopefully when) he reaches that mark Reggie will join Hines Ward and Marvin Harrison as the only players in NFL history to acheive that mark with just one team.

 

And, its amazing that both Reggie and Marvin played so many years together, for them to both have at least 1,000 receptions in their careers. We Colt fans have been blessed for many years, because of both of them. (and Peyton too!)

[ruksak]

i can never forgive him for dropping that easy pass in the super bowl. never

Did you forgive Peyton for throwing the game away? Because....ya know....Manning lost that game for us and I forgave him within minutes. 

[ruksak]

Yeah he was all about GARCON

I liked Garcon's attitude. It wasn't ever over the line or overtly disrespectful. He brought moxie and flare to a rather bland team of quiet individuals. Those vampire teeth....nothing but cool.

He was always one I hoped would do well and stick with the team, certainly had talent if not consistency Plus he wore #85! .
