E.G Green :)

 

but seriously, Stokley.  We were blessed to have Marvin and Reggie on the same team but other than that we haven't had dynamic WR other than the ones mentioned. I wish we could get an Elite receiver to go with Hilton and stop the one year merry go round of bad receivers

Collie for 1.5 seasons. Sad how injuries ruined his career.

 

Yep, it was rare for a WR to be on the same page as Peyton within a year. He was like Welker and Edelman for Brady, constantly open but one thing he did not do well was get down fast enough like Marvin or Reggie did. I wish he learnt that from them and could have prolonged his career.

E.G. Green was an excellent receiver, he was just made of glass.  IF EG Green has been able to stay healthy the Colts probably would not have drafted Wayne because they would not have needed a #2 WR.

Well on the play that changed everything, Collie never had a chance to get down.  The following concussions (where he maybe didn't get down quick enough) all stemmed from that play against the Eagles where Peyton got him nearly decapitated.  He really was headed to being an all time solid receiver for us.  Since he never got to put in the time to reach that level, I'd have to list Brooks as the next best on that list.

That is not true. The hit that caused the damage came to the back of his head from No.42 (safety Coleman) in a whiplash fashion. The guy Collie could see was who Collie ducked his head from but he was still upright. Collie had the habit of ducking instead of going to the ground. Yes, Peyton did that to Dallas Clark too who got a few ringers too but he was more durable on that front, Collie just wasn't.

I see what you’re saying but I stand by my assessment.  Sure, Collie maybe could have tried to immediately go down “while” making the catch but the fact that he was still contacted by 2 defenders in a bang-bang fashion “immediately” after making the catch tells me that he didn’t have a lot of time to do much of anything and it was a dangerous throw by Peyton.  

 

Regardless, that play changed the course of Collie’s career. He was easily concussed thereafter and it was a shame because he was a heckuva receiver.  And those uniforms with the blue helmets were SICK.  Shame that hit will always be a memory of them.

Listed as a running back Edgerrin James was a very good receiver. Plus you can't overlook what Joseph Addai brought either. He caught a bunch of first downs out of the back field.

 

If we're going to include running backs, then I'm not sure if there was one better than Marshall Faulk.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By smittywerb · Posted

      I know a lot was said, but I really don’t like when people bring up JJ because he was such a unique case.  He fell for multiple reasons.  Analysts thought he was a product of the system, he shined because of chase, they thought he was just a slot guy.  JJ was such a curious case because he had the production to prove it but I think teams who picked other WRs ahead of him got wrapped up in the detractors.     TBH, the only player I can see in a similar predicament at WR is Adonai Mitchell, other than that, I think what you see is what you get.  Of course, there will be sleepers In every draft, but outside of Adonai, I don’t think there’s a “JJ” at WR In this draft.  Maybe Troy Franklin too.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      This presser has reinforced how I feel about this draft and what we might do.  This is one of the most “it can go any way” drafts I’ve been apart of as a colts fan.  Based on our needs, the strengths of this draft, and where we pick, there are numerous ways this thing can go.  Some takeaways I got from this presser:   - Getting AR a weapon:  I think after this presser, we are definitely getting an AR another weapon.  I’m not sure if it’s going to be with the first or second pick.  Bowers to the colts doesn’t seem likely to me now.  Ballard really likes our tight end group and I can’t see him investing a high pick into the tight end room given what we have.  But either way, either the first or second pick will be a weapon.   - Anything is possible:  we may trade up, stay put, or even trade back.  It all depends on how this draft goes, who they have on their board, and where they have them rated.  I can see us trading up if one or two of the top 3 WRs get to pick 9.  I can see staying put if our trade up options are gone but someone looks to be falling to us.  I can also see us trading back if we have first round grades on certain players who are left and can be chosen later in the first round.  I can see all of these things happening and it really all depends on how things play out.  Personally, I’d hope we trade up if one of the top 3 WRs get close enough and doesn’t cost us too much.  But either way, we’re in a unique position and this can go a lot of ways.

      I doubt  he moves up for any of those guys unless they fall to around 9-12. Only way I see us getting  Harrison  is through  free agency  in a few years if he chooses  to leave the team that drafts him.
