Pretty neat to see.

[Scott Pennock]

Pretty cool video!

[Tsarquise]

All of those Harrison touchdowns lol. 

 

Sucks he had to wear that Broncos jersey. 

[Albaby]

Great video!

[Bravo]

Ahh... the Colts used to be so good. Nice to look at all of those winning scores.

Just a reminder how special the Manning to Harrison hook up was.

Harrison at his size is what makes me believe he is the 2nd greatest WR in history. The thing is Marv was never as tall or as heavy as any of his reports were.

I met him two times and he didn't even look like a football player.

[Barry Sears]

Thank you!  That was terrific and reminded me of Colts players I'd forgotten about.

[CF4L]

Thanks for posting I forgot some of these guys were ever on the Colts.

 

Also that Marcus Pollard caught 35 TD's from Manning 

[colt18]

here's all 55 of Peytons TDs in Denver

What I heard from interviews was how crisp Harrison's routes were. He had this ability to run a route so seamlessly that when he made his cuts, he didn't seem to lose any speed. Then you combine that with his size and huge hands and it just made him a monster in coverage. He was so talented, Manning would throw goalline fade passes that the defense knew was coming, yet they couldn't stop it.

This is one of the reasons I am not as taken with size of a receiver as some are.

A few take-a-ways 

 

• Pollard was fast
• I had forgotten about Terrance Wilkins 
• I, unfortunately, expected Collie to be hurt after his TD catch

[Clem-Dog]

For reference Antonio Brown is a very poor man's Marvin.

[PeterBowman]

also makes me remember what it was like to have awesome play calling.

Ironically, I think some of that was attributed to Peyton Manning. Our defense was just that old bend but don't break crap that gave up like 32/35 completions to Drew Brees in the Superbowl.

He is not. He is just as elusive and has improved his route running considerably over the last few years. Plus, he shows up in the playoffs even if he is matched up against the best CBs.

 

It is just Marvin was caught up in an era where they jammed him past 5 yards and rarely got called for it.

Brown is all and maybe more the player Marvin was. In terms of skill at least.

Based on production thru 8 seasons:

 

• Antonio Brown/ Marvin Harrison : 
• Rec  - 733/ 759
• Yds  - 9,910/ 10,072
• Avg  - 13.5/ 13.3
• Yds/g- 86.2/ 81.35
• TDs  -  59/ 83               (This is what separates Marv)
• 20+  - 146/ 131             (Adv Antonio)
• 40+  - 33/ 30

 

 

My comparison is valid with exception to calling Antonio a "very poor man's Marvin," but I will revise my statement to reflect that Antonio is a lesser Marvin.  All things being equal Marvin's ability to find the end zone elevates him above AB.

Brown had 167 yards in his first year. I don't really think it's fair to include that one. Take that one out and everything but TDs gets skewed even more in favor of Brown, in per game avgs. But I get your point, I hold Marvin in higher regards too. For now at least.

That part was the one I had an issue with. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Antonio Brown challenges Marvin as time goes on but since I doubt Big Ben would match Peyton with longevity, that would be something in favor of Marvin.

I still feel bad that Anthony Gonzalez suffered from concussions that sidelined his NFL career. That WR was fun to watch man.
