Updated Career Stats Of The Colts Big 3 (Peyton, Marvin & Edge)

[pables21]

Earlier today, I was curious to see where our former Big 3 ranked among the all-time leaders. I figured this could be of interest to the forum members, so check it out and relive some of the glory years! What an offense we had...

Also note that I used Pro-Football Reference for all of these stats, so if some are inaccurate then blame the website . I used the majority of stats that were available and only kept records that were in the Top-30 of a particular statistic.

Pretty cool huh? What a group of players, they are truly all-time greats and were truly ambassadors of the game.

PM to Harrison is the best QB-WR duo of all time, forget Rice-Montana, or Young-Montana, or Bradshaw-Swann, this is the best. Plus Edge, is a great dynamic back that made our offense that most feared in the NFL during the early to mid 00's. Too bad our defense sucked or we would have won some SBs.

[21isSuperman]

Manning-Harrison was the greatest QB-WR combo ever. The chemistry they had and the way they knew exactly what the other was thinking was nuts...it would be fun to see them coach against each other, both guys would know what the other wants to do

I have to pick on you. Young-Montana was not a good QB-WR duo.

I think Manning to Wayne is pretty good too.

Lol I did not know that montana could catch a football. That Jerry Rice guy was pretty good though

[number28]

non-arguably this was statistically best offense in NFL history.

and yeah I agree with one of the posters before. Manning to Wayne is pretty good too.

[pables21]

I'm pretty sure Manning-Any WR would be pretty good . But he had a special kind of chemistry with Marvin, and to a lesser extent with Reggie. Watching him throw to these guys was a thing of pure beauty. He also had Edge, who was a great receiver out of the backfield.

You know, just imagine if we kept Marshall Faulk and paired him with Peyton. Faulk had that ridiculous 1999-2000-2001 prime where he cemented his legacy as the greatest receiving RB in the NFL. Imagine pairing that up with Peyton and Marvin. OMG

lol ye ye, you know what I mean, I meant Rice not Montana.

[DILLIGAFER]

I thought Mannings single season passer rating was 1st at 121.?

[Andy]

I thought Mannings single season passer rating was 1st at 121.?

It is, must be an error, but Rodgers could break that this year.

yeah definitely.

why did we lose Faulk? was that just another stupid Front Office decision not to pay one of our players?

[fvantagio]

yeah definitely.

why did we lose Faulk? was that just another stupid Front Office decision not to pay one of our players?

well we got the edge to replace him and the offense never skipped a beat. The front office cant win can they? They either pay a guy to much and everyone complains or they dont pay someone the money and everyone complains. Cant please everyone i guess.

[pables21]

It is, must be an error, but Rodgers could break that this year.

Yeah, Rodgers is currently 1st with 130.7... which is absolutely insane. Pro-Football-Reference.com includes current stats as well, so Peyton is officially the #1 in that category since Rodgers hasn't officially finished his season. But as of now, Rodgers would finish well ahead of Manning. What a year he has had, just unreal.

[bayone]

I thought Mannings single season passer rating was 1st at 121.?

It is, unless Rodgers currently at 130 maintains his pace

SORRY, i answered this and after my answer was posted saw the above same

I wonder how many more TDS and what may have been upped to if not pulled for basically 2 games, he was destroying Lions on thanksgiving I believe and could of set record for TDs per game with so much time left when pulled and also as only played 1 series Vs denver in final game, then came back and threw 4 TDS Vs Denver in 1st playoff game that year, Imagine his total TD per year if wasnt pulled, that was the 49 TD year
