Harrison VS Wayne

Which way to go Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne? It seems that every year is supposed to be the year that Wayne surpasses Harrison as the go to guy for Peyton. I for one was pretty sure that Wayne was going to have a break out season last year. While his stats were not bad, he finished with 83 catches and 1,055 yards, which seems comparable to Harrison’s 82 for 1,146 yards and it is. Well it is until you consider Harrison scored 12 td’s and Wayne only scored 5!

Certainly, father time must catch up to Harrison at some point and let’s face it 34 is old for a WR. His production has significantly declined from the years when he routinely caught 100 balls a year. In 2002 he had 143 catches, 143! Since then he has caught 94, 86 and 82 respectively. Compare that to Wayne who has caught 49, 68, 77 and 83. The stats imply that Wayne is past due to become Manning’s number one weapon. However, you cannot overlook the fact that Harrison continues to be an end zone hawk.
