When does Reggie decline

But Reggie not getting TDs isn't anything new. He's played 12 seasons, and  7 of them he has had 6TDs or less. 

 

 

 

By the way, that's part of what my point was. Reggie has never been a big TD guy (it's probably the biggest thing that will keep him out of the HOF). So his five TDs in 2012 aren't indicative of any decline.

I don't know.  It's hard to predict when he'll decline because his game does not depend on athleticism.  What makes Wayne great is his football IQ, hands, and crisp route running.  He doesn't use speed, height, or physicality to produce.  And players like that tend to last a long time, no matter the sport.  Look at Tim Duncan, another vet who was written off as "old" by the media.  I would say, if a serious injury was to happen to Reggie, than i could see him declining or might even gone, but until then we can expect the same hard hat Reggie.

Like TKnight said. We would have failed to improve as an offence if Reggie has another great year as we saw this past season. As for declining, let's hope 87 doesn't decline. I hope he can play until 39-40, but health is the question of course.

Hopefully its Something like Terrell Owens without the off the field stuff last 4 years T.O was in the league he had( I know his tds wouldn't be as high like TO's was, but would be icing on the cake):

Age 34 Cowboys 2007: 81 rec 1355yrds 15tds

Age 35 Cowboys 2008: 69 rec 1052yrds 10tds

Age 36 Buffalo 2009: 55rec 829yrds 5tds

Age 37 Bengals 2010: 72rec 983yrds 9Tds

 

He was such a talent. I'm almost bitter teams won't give him a shot. I mean, who goes out on the heels of a 1000 yard/9 TD season? Unless his knee is actually worse than he says it is...

    • Latu weighed 257 at the combine, but later at his pro day he was 267 lbs. He probably dropped to 257 to run faster the 40. 
    • Dunking should be great for the ol' shoulder 
    • Do we know where Minn is playing Turner?   Is it DE or is it OLB?   I thought I had heard right after the draft the Vikings were using him at OLB.  Yes?   No?      I know Turner, I know how good he’s been his whole football life.  If the Colts had drafted him I would’ve been fine.     Im not reacting much on the weight….  257 vs 250.   Seems Laiatu lost weight for the combine while Turner gained a little.  That happens all the time.   I think the Colts have Latu listed at his normal 265.   Just an observation.
    • The comp I was referring to was a graphic (by Colts Cast I think) that compared his final two years to Myles Garrett.    Latu weighed 257, Turner was above 250 at his pro day. They have different frames, but they are not that far apart in weight.   Turner just has the upside. In the past, he's the exact type of ER prospect that Ballard would drool over. But he wasn't a project. He was the #1 ER in his HS class, started 3 years at Bama and produced in the SEC (DPOY). Has dominated at every level.   It was certainly a change of approach and I would agree that Partridge had serious input. 
    • The judge will be hearing a motion to set aside the jury verdict, which apparently is allowed in a case like this. That means he could invalidate the verdict if he sees fit. It's worth noting that the judge was highly critical of the plaintiff's case and the way they chose to argue it. I don't know if that means anything, but it's interesting.   It's also interesting that the NFL's appeal would go to the US Ninth Circuit court, which is the same court that reinstated this case after it had been previously dismissed.
