So refute it.

Refute what? That Harrison is BY FAR the best receiver on the Colts right now? I don't really think I need to, it's a ridiculous statement. It's obvious that Wayne is at worst a step behind. But he's really not. At 6 years younger, if you'd rather have Harrison, you're insane.

Look at the yards per catch, targets, everything except for TDs over the past year and a half. Watch them play, Wayne is far more explosive, his routes are near as precise. Harrison doesn't draw double coverage anymore, and there are few shutdown corners in the league, so there is no reason that their stats would be equal and Manning would look for them equally unless they are on par with each other. Factor in upside and I'll take Wayne in a second from this point forward.

Congrats on your successful baiting. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Reggie Wayne is not in the all-time top 50 in any major category.

Plus, by bringing age into the conversation, you are changing the topic. Age is a valid factor when discussing the OPs original question, but this tangent wasn't about "would you rather have Wayne or Harrison going forward", it was about my disputing your claim that Harrison might not currently be the best WR on the Colts.
