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.
