T.Y. Hilton or Marvin Harrison...

[tucky89]

By the end of T.Y.'s career, who will have the title of best Colts receiver ever?

 

T.Y.'s first seven seasons: 40 TD's/7,537 yards/476 receptions.

 

Marvin's first seven seasons: 73 TD's/8,800 yards/665 receptions/

[compuls1v3]

I like Hilton, but Harrison is still my favorite Colts receiver!

[coltfaninnewyork]

Hilton very good but this is easy ,Marvin in the HOF.So Marvin 

[Tsarquise]

Pretty much all of the noteable colts players from the Manning era are better than their current counterparts.

[bsteves]

Not even close. Marv is one of the GOATs at the position.

[Trueman]

I mean, c'mon...

[BOTT]

[DonnieDarko1023]

This is laughable......TY wouldn’t even pass Reggie let alone Marvin 

[Nesjan3]

This shouldn't even be a question

[NewEra]

TY is t even in the same discussion of Marv. Sorry, just being real. Marvin made so if the most amazing catches I've ever seen. 

 

Hinestly TY is not even close to Reggie either. 

[CR91]

I love T.Y, but marv was one of the those once in a generation type players. He might surpass reggie one day. Maybe

[threeflight]

Marvin and honestly it is  not even close.

 

He was that good.

[ojsglove]

You're kidding, right?

Marvin.

And you can write that in pen.

[threeflight]

Marvin was one of those guys you could count on ALL OF THE TIME.

 

TY is good....sometimes really good.  But I cannot say I can count on him 24/7.

Sometimes i forget some around here came on board after Marvin.   In his prime, he was literally unstoppable:  I've never seen anything quite like him.  Clutch!

 

[jvan1973]

1. Marvin

2. Reggie 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 .T.Y

 

That's just the Indy years

[Smoke317]

How can you post the stats & even ask that question???  TY has actually put up some pretty respectable numbers (not being a full time starter in his first 2 seasons).  But you also gotta factor in that Marv didn’t have Peyton his first 2 years & his 3rd Peyton was a turnover machine.  The league was also much harder to pass in compared to when TY debuted.  Taking all of that into consideration, Peyton realized the stud he had in Marvin & Marvin’s 4th year reads like this: 115 catches, 1663 yards, and 12 touchdowns.     MY GOODNESS!!!!  TY has yet to match any 1 of those 3 numbers in any season.  In today’s NFL, with the way Luck came out throwing the deep ball, Marvin would have been flirting with a 2000 yard season & 20 TD’s by now.

Not if they spend all day in a phone, they won't. Writing takes skill and practice. 

[BOTT]

Reggie > Marvin > TY

 

yeah......I said it.

[ColtsBlitz]

You can’t compare players who are still playing to players that are finished and in the HOF. It’s just not a fair comparison

If we need a first down can you EXPECT TY to get it for you. NOO!
He won.t even be close to Reggie.

But you shouldn’t have.  Even Reggie knows better than that

[TYtheGHOST]

Yeah please lock this thread, I love Ty but he’s not on Marvin Harrison’s level.

Reggie knew who was better come playoff time.  In fact, come playoff time TY > Marvin.

[coltsfan77]

Like T.Y., but Marvin and Reggie were better. The difficult catches those 2 made were unbelievable at times.

[runthepost]

Marvin in this era would be on the level of obj Julio AB DHop. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

In the Indianapolis era 1984-2018:

1. Marvin Harrison

2. Reggie Wayne

3. TY Hilton is 3rd

-I don't think TY will ever be better than Marv or Reggie, JMO

 

-I was a huge fan of Bill Brooks as well. He was actually Very Good/borderline Great but he played on crappy teams for the most part here unfortunately.

[IinD]

I'm a TY homer, but it's not even close. 

Let's ask Rashean Mathis...

[jchandler7]

Shouldn't even be a question...MARVIN!!! If TY played with Reggie and Marv he'd be the #3 WR.

[Jackie Daytona]

Didn't even read the initial post, didn't read any responses either.  The Answer is Marvin Harrison.

[HectorRoberts]

I didn’t even read it but it’s Marvin over any other receiver.

Marvin Harrison....   NFL Hall of Famer

 

T. Y. Hilton.....              NFL very nice player

 

Those are not the same.

 

Does that answer your question?

 Don’t normally like comparing players from different generations in any sport either, as sport evolves so much over the years. It has however massively changed in favour of QB’s and WR’s and it’s actually easier for receivers to put up big numbers now than when Marvin was playing and yet T.Y. still doesn’t match Marvins numbers. There is no contest here whatsoever imo.

I know it’s all about opinions, but can’t get my head around how anyone could even make a case for T.Y. against Marvin, it’s not even remotely close as you say.

[GoColts8818]

Marvin all day long and twice on Sunday’s and that’s not a shot at Hilton.  Marvin has become underrated amoung Colts fans.
