RoadFan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Today, I saw the demise of one of the all time great wide receivers, Marvelous Marvin Harrison. Age has finally caught up to 19th overall pick in the 1996 draft. The 36-year-old had shown signs of slowing down the past two seasons. This afternoon in Pittsburgh, I saw him drop 3 touchdown passes. It was shocking. He ALWAYS made those plays. His next stop should not be with another team, but rather Canton, Ohio.

Or a shooting range with his arsenal of guns/weapons.. one or the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about the gun incident but intentionally left that out. He was thought of for years as being a model citizen. I was trying to write a tribute of sorts.

serphnx Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yeah he's done. He was never particularly fast, and he is not big either, so he needed what speed he had and to run precise routes and catch everything that was thrown his way. Now he can't get separation and just drops passes if he does get it. Anthony Gonzalez is the new #2 WR there, and obviously Wayne has cemented his position as the #1. They like Clark a lot, so they don't even really need Harrison as a #3. Clark's probably actually the #2 now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was a burner in his early years....He ran one of the fastest 40s at the combine coming out of college and was definitely one of the fastest WRs in the league for sevearal years.

I think he was solidly in the 4.2s and the only knock on him was that he supposedly was going to be too frail to get off the LOS. He wasn't and the league regulated away any real chance to test that theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharrow Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't know, one of those "drops" was a sure touchdown if Peyton put it where it should have been. He isn't a #1 WR anymore, but I still think he'll be able to play out his contract through 2011 while still being an effective WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 36 and bad knees will do it. Great watching the guy play though, nothing but class IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think Marvin Harrison should call it quits after this season, there is nothing better than hanging it up and going to the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
