The man had what 10 drops his ENTIRE career??? Something along those lines. Give me that and someone who isn't a locker room cancer and who isn't a distraction ANYDAY of the week. Not to mention Harrison is one of the BEST route runners EVER. I don't care about popularity, give me the "Silent Assassin".
@@hexagonoctogon3140 pure bs. You still need to break free, run routes and catch the ball, how many hall of fame Receivers did Dan Marino have?, or Brett Favre? What about Warren Moon?, Joe Montanta won two superbowls before Jerry Rice which of the guys were all-pro or hall of fame material
@@josephgarza934 First off, yes, when it comes to route running, Marvin Harrison was unmatched. Every corner that went up against him said the same thing. The first 10 yards of every route he ran looked exactly the same and they had no idea what route he was going to run. He also had some of the sickest double moves that had corners biting hard and left them in the dust. Second, the best corners of the era Harrison played in all said the same thing, he was the hardest receiver to defend against. Players like Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson who went up against receivers like Moss and TO both said that Harrison was the most difficult to guard against. Marvin was the best of his era and the best CBs in the game backed it up with their testimonials
Hassan Haulcy no they were not. Look up Charles Woodson and champ bailey, two of the best DBs who went up against all 3. Marv was there toughest to guard
@@wickedgaming9520 You can't ignore his work ethic and performance. He went out to do his job and got it done. No complaints, no showboating and no disruption in the clubhouse. He earned his gold jacket
Consistant my nuts.... consistently botched by the Pats and Ty Law Harrison wAs... watch the tape fool.. the NFL changed the rules they felt so bad for Manning and his gay team
peyton manning made so many receivers look good it's not even funny. Brady was thought to have a good deep ball when he played with moss, now he can't hit anybody past 15 yards
I used to love watching Marvin Harrison when I was a kid. Everyone was talking Moss and TO, but Harrison was my favorite. He was always open, he was a good RAC threat, and would block when he needed to.
Harrison also had Reggie Wayne on the other side of the field taking targets away. Imagine if Moss had Steve Smith on the other side of the field almost his whole career, taking targets away. He might not even be on here then...might be like Issac Bruce and Tory Holt nowhere to be found.
moss was the one taking ON the double teams. harrison and wayne were pretty even so you couldn't double either one of them. lol @ anyone taking away targets from moss. You're not a throwing a 5 yard hitch instead of a guaranteed 60 yard touchdown bomb when moss throwing his hand up. Quarterbacks know where their money is at.
+bonk caesar This is best WRs of the 2000s. Carter was gone after 2001 and his 2001 season was lackluster, getting less than 1000 yards. Wayne got to Indy in 2001 and was there with Harrison and Manning until Harrison retired in 2008. Moss had one year of an aging Cris Carter, in the 2000s, playing alongside at a high level. The rest of his career he was THE man. Harrison had Wayne putting up HOF stats for 8 years of the 2000s. My point is still more than valid.
REMEMBER MARVIN HELPED PEYTON DEVELOP FROM A ROOKIE. PEYTON DIDN'T JUST COME IN BEING THE BEST HE WORKED AT WITH MARVIN. TOGETHER THEY PUT THAT RECORD AND THOSE NUMBERS UP. MARVIN MADE THOSE GREAT CATCHES RESPECT THAT MAN
Marvin deserves it. This is a talent ranking. It’s production ranking. Marvin was THEE most consistent WR in that era. You don’t control who throws you the ball. Your job is to catch and run. Let’s be very real, TO has more drops than any receiver in the top 10 and it’s not even close. Moss was thrown the ball in Oakland and had plenty drops. If you’re a top 5 receiver all time and the ball hits your hands, you catch it. Marvin deserves to be 1 on this particular list.
I grew up watching Peyton, Marvin, Edge, and Reggie, and I haven't seen anything like it since. Playoffs didn't always go great, but they were just really fun to watch all season long, even when they lost.
I never looked at it like Marvin was good only because he had Peyton throwing him the ball, I've always looked at it like Peyton was good because he had Marvin to pass the ball too.
I didn’t know he was that efficient. Manning being there his entire career helps tremendously. But my opinion Moss is #1. 2007 with Brady is crazy. Imagine if moss/Brady was together a decade 🤦🏾♂️ salute the great Marvin Harrison..
I'm not a big Harrison fan, but I think casual fans really overlook just how amazing of a route runner Harrison was. He wasn't as fast or as strong or TO or Moss, but he blows both of them away when it comes to route running. Watch the Colt-Lions Thanksgiving game and watch the moves he puts on the Lions corner in the redzone.
I wouldn't say Marvin wasn't fast. it's stated in some places that Marvin Harrison clocked around a 4.38-4.41 range in his 40 time. He just never had to truly use his speed on account of his routes being so precise and beautifully timed.
Harrison ran a 4.38 at his combine. He was 3-4 inches and probably 30-35 pounds lighter than those guys who were stronger while having longer limbs to their advantage. No one did it better and as consistent as 88. Champ Bailey even admitted Marvin Harrison was the toughest WR he’s ever played against.
I love Randy Moss, I love Terell Owens and I have no problem Marvin Harrison being #1. He was more consistent than Moss and Owens and I don't ever remember Marvin quitting on a team. #1 is perfect.
Marvin Harrison played the game like a true professional without all the hey look at me bravado as some of the others he let his play do all the talking!
Marvin didn't routinely disappear in games like Moss and Owens. If either of them had Marvin or Jerry's work ethic they'd hands down by the best all time.
Bullshit. Number one that's bullshit. Is he a better blocker than moss or owens hell no. Does he tilt the field as far as coverage like moss or owens hell no. He was great no doubt but Peyton was so good that he had one on one coverage and excellent passing to enhance his numbers that's mainly it. Calvin Johnson with Peyton in his prime would have destroyed the record books more than Harrison did. Even Larry Fitzgerald would be ahead of Harrison in my opinion. The Peyton factor is too huge for him to be ahead of so many other more deserving players. List is bullshit. Once again the old boring media wants to make a point of the quiet guy. Such bullshit. Plus it's bullshit that Terrell Owens is not in the hall of fame. If he doesn't get in next year it'll be another black mark on the hall of shame. R. I. P. Kenny Stabler should have been in years ago too
None of the other guys had a #2 WR putting up HOF stats across from them either. You can say Manning inflates Harrison's stats, but it comes right back because I can say Wayne taking away targets deflates Harrison's stats.
clutchthepearls no one would ever build around Harrison over Fitzgerald, Moss and Owens. That's a fact. If you would build around a slender non blocking can't take a hit and break tackles over the middle guy over guys who could and do everything that Harrison can too... Then that's stupid like this list.
Saying "that's a fact" doesn't make it a fact. The stats are facts, and Harrison put up the stats. Your opinion on building teams doesn't mean anything.
I live in Indiana, I'm a Colts fan... but Randy Moss is my favorite player of all time. That being said, I can respect that they chose Marvin due to consistency. Also, I normally would have put T.O. about Harrison, but when you look at the stats, Harrison is ridiculously impressive so he's top 2 IMO
As a 49er fan nothing is more important than consistency and if you have a consistently reliable Wide Receiver it'll dramatically lower your blood pressure while watching games.
Perhaps the greatest Route Runner in NFl history. He was the guy Peyton leaned on . Peyton didn't really become peyton till his first MVP in 2003. Marvin's 7th year in the league.
The closest thing to Jerry Rice I’ve seen. I loved that big 3 era of TO, Randy Moss, and Marvelous Marvin Harrison. They don’t make wide receivers like they used to…
There's a difference between being the guy they were talking about and always wanting the ball. How many times did you see Marvin throwing a fit because Wayne or Clark got the ball? Imagine the blowups Moss or T.O. would've had if they had a WR opposite the field putting up HOF numbers. They could barely handle being THE guy.
clutchthepearls but they did opposites guys putting up those numbers. moss played opposite a hofer in Chris Carter and a perennial 100 catch guy in wes welker. TO has played opposite Terry Glenn Roy Williams Chad johnson and Jerry rice. All these receivers wanted the ball on every play and made sure their QBs knew it. Just because you're quiet doesn't mean you're selfless and being loud doesn't mean youre not a team guy.
Manning definitely made them better but they had to be good to start with. Wayne had one of his best seasons without Manning and Harrison looked good his first 2 years before manning.
Marvin was great,don't get me wrong. But I can make a strong case against him being number 2 to Moss. Having a top 3 QB of all time for his entire career,the easy division opponents he went against, the rule changes that favored players of his type that benefited small guys with route running. I would put Moss 1 Harrison 2 and Owens 3 for 2000s.
I think this is correct, but one thing the others didn't have was a hall of fame qb all of theirs career. Marvin had Peyton from 1998 till he retired, don't get me wrong i think he deserves this but he had a bit of an advantage. I like that he was not a freak athlete like Moss o T.O. but he was a more consistent, intelligent and quiet player all around.
people really out here loving to hate the colts. they always find a way to try to devalue the accomplishments. hoes mad bc we had the best qb (of all time) and most consistent receiver of his era
Moss and TO are both better Why do you rank Moss ahead of Harrison on the all time receivers list? Why do rank Moss ahead of Harrison on the 100 greatest players list? (Harrison isn't even on it) Moss and TO both have more yards and TD'S than Harrison so how is Harrison better?
Moss and TO sure were ahead of Harrison when it came to quitting on their teams, causing problems in the locker rooms and getting ran out of town. Harrison played for 1 team his entire career. Between the 2 of them Moss and TO played for 11 different teams. I wonder if there's some reason for that?
@@xaviervega468 Really? What does that say about TO and Moss bouncing around the league because nobody could put up with their attitudes? Moss could have been the greatest ever, just on sheer physical ability. But the dude couldn't not be a bad teammate. Ran out of Minn, he quit in Oak, ran out of NE because of his attitude. The dude played for 3 teams in one season lol. Really seems like teams didn't want to keep him long term or something.
@@Vichedges "Ran out of Minn" the dude was traded for a recent 1st rounder, the 7th overall pick and a 7th rounder, Oakland made a great offer and Minnesota accepted. Moss was great but you can't catch balls if they're nowhere near you, JaMarcus Russell was truly *the* most inaccurate QB of the decade- and he never even had a choice on where to play, he just got traded to Oakland and had to play on a hopeless team! I'll give you 2010 but that's not even the 2000s anymore, is it?
@@threenumbnuts Oh yeah, a first rounder (and don't forget that 7th!) for the greatest receiver in the NFL in his prime. What a deal! Everywhere the guy went it ended the exact same way. He quit. He quit in Minn, he quit in Oakland, he quit in NE. Hell, he went through three teams in 2010. He was great when he wanted to be but he also was a whiny prima donna. If he had had the heart of someone like Wes Welker or Julian Edelman Moss would have championship rings too.
as a die hard colts fan my entire life. Randy Moss is the greatest WR of all time. Stats will tell you Jerry Rice. The film will tell you Randy Moss. No one has ever possessed his combination of speed, size, athleticism and ability to catch everything. Give him Joe Montana and Steve Young and you have numbers beyond Jerry's.
Why in the hell is Andre Johnson not on this list? 5 time pro bowler, 2 time all pro, 673 receptions 9,164 yards and 50 tds in the 2000s. From 2003 to 2010 he was awesome. It’s a crime he isn’t on this list.
Amanda Parks if Marvin Harrison self promoted his self as much as TO, he would be talked about as the greatest wide receiver of all time. Marvin Harrison has 4 season better than any Terrell Owens SEASON.
It funny how they talk Marvin Harrison up and he had a guy killed but no one talks about that because people believe him to be such a great guy.smh Moss nor TO has this type of issue but they're the bad guys.
In the 2000s (I'm counting 2000 and not counting 2010 -- if you disagree with that, fine, but that gives Marvin one more year he wouldn't have if we did it the other way around), Marvin Harrison caught 791 balls for 10,439 yards and 95 touchdowns. That's pretty good. Randy Moss caught 777 balls for 11,739 yards and 120 touchdowns. Marvin Harrison had one quarterback for that stretch of time, one of the greatest of all time, Peyton Manning. Randy Moss had Daunte Culpepper, Todd Bouman, Spergeon Wynn, Gus Frerotte, Kelly Campbell, Marques Tuiasosopo, Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, Tom Brady, and Matt Cassel as his quarterbacks. Marvin Harrison is one of the all-time greats. But not putting Moss at the very top of this list is entirely a personality thing. Greg Rakestraw praised this list for "not getting caught up in the hype machine." No, they got caught up in the anti-hype machine. Moss should have been number one. And by the way, whatever you think of Moss' antics, at least he never found himself involved in an attempted murder like good ol' Marv did: deadspin.com/5447871/gq-unveils-new-stunning-details-about-marvin-harrison-gun-incident
Really? Why? The dude usually made it a season or two before quitting in games or having a meltdown. He played for 6 different teams (Minn twice) so why do you think that was? And why would you build a team around a guy you couldn't count on?
They said he wasn’t a guy who complained about not demanding the ball but he opening said that was not true and said how he wish his son would complain more like how he did
Ig guess it’s not something people saw him doing… because he rarely ever talked (to the media/in front of cameras at least) while he was playing. I live in Indy and he was my favorite player as a kid and I remember him saying like 2 sentences during the SB parade after they won in 06. Hearing him talk now in videos is unexpected
Marvin and reggie actually were really as good as the numbers say yes peyton is a big part of that but nobody connected with peyton any better than marvin he was just a beast
@von height and 4.2 speed are part of tandy moss himself. We actually can statistically adjust for qb although im not aware of any studies doing so. Ignoring qb skill when evaluating wrs is very stupid.
I know a lot won’t agree with me but I don’t think there will ever be another randy moss! Randy should be #1 not only on this list but ever (yes I know the nostalgic snobs will disagree but randy was the goat in my opinion.. a 6 “4” guy who ran a 4-2 and and had the ball skills to go with it? Cmon man
@@packersdog But not for extended periods and consistent periods of time. Cunningham 1 year, Brady 3 years, Culpepper 5. Alot of other QBs who are not noteworthy.
Marvin Harrison was in an offense with a QB that was thrown the ball 30-50 times per game. The guy was consistent but he isn't better than #3 or #2 on this list
www.footballperspective.com/single-season-leaders-in-receiving-yards-per-team-pass-attempt/ In the most indicative stat a wr has, steve smith has the two greatest seasons ever by a wide receiver in the 2000's. And it's not even close. Plus neither season had a truly elite qb
Better at whining and quitting and getting ran out of town, definitely. There's a reason those two played for 11 different teams while Harrison played his entire career with 1.
I don't think any of the people who think T.O. or Moss is better quite understand. This is for the 2000s it's literally because he was an elite receiver for way longer than either of those guys, and don't get me wrong both of those guys are super great and had their great seasons but stats and timewise? Harrison has them beat alllll the way
One thing that wasn't pointed out in the video wasn't just having Peyton Manning for all but two seasons, but the fact that Marvin Harrison was a ghost in the playoffs. In 16 postseason games Marvin only has one 100 yard game and two TDs with both coming in the same game. That's pretty bad. Part of the reason is because he wasn't known for being a physical WR so he often got punked by more physical CBs such as Ty Law and Ike Taylor. He was a great WR but no way should he be higher than Moss or Owens two receivers that put up big numbers with damn near anyone behind center (minus Moss' years in Oakland).
He only plsyed Ty Law twice in the playoffs(03,06). Law was hurt in 2004. He only played Ike Taylor once in the playoffs. His QB really strugged in the playoffs so it makes sense why Marvin would. Though it ia still pretty damning.
Tell me why Fitzgerald was the only one on this list getting criticized for being quiet when Marvin Harrison was just as quite and is number one? Now look Im not saying he doesn't deserve it but everyone in this video basically said "Its the quiet ones you got worry about" but with Fitz they basically said "He probaly wouldve been higher if he talked"?!?
They call Jerry Rice the goat and ignore Joe Montana and Steve Young. They call Marvin Harrison the best of the 2000s and ignore Peyton Manning. This is why you should never use quantitative data to judge a good reciever. The eye test is much more effective.

Whenever I played Madden back in this time period, bet your behind in using the Colts, and throwing him the ball 20x
As a 49er fan nothing is more important than consistency and if you have a consistently reliable Wide Receiver it'll dramatically lower your blood pressure while watching games.
Perhaps the greatest Route Runner in NFl history. He was the guy Peyton leaned on . Peyton didn't really become peyton till his first MVP in 2003. Marvin's 7th year in the league.
Good one NFL very well put list Respect 2 the silent killer Marvin Harrison! Go COWBOYZ
For a dude considered a #1 WR in the 2000s no one really talks about this man lol
The closest thing to Jerry Rice I’ve seen. I loved that big 3 era of TO, Randy Moss, and Marvelous Marvin Harrison. They don’t make wide receivers like they used to…
His son could be better then him
He had God Given athleticism. He was quiet and he could catch.
Lol Marvin Harrison was definitely a me guy Peyton said that all the time. He always wanted the ball.
There's a difference between being the guy they were talking about and always wanting the ball.
How many times did you see Marvin throwing a fit because Wayne or Clark got the ball?
Imagine the blowups Moss or T.O. would've had if they had a WR opposite the field putting up HOF numbers. They could barely handle being THE guy.
clutchthepearls but they did opposites guys putting up those numbers. moss played opposite a hofer in Chris Carter and a perennial 100 catch guy in wes welker. TO has played opposite Terry Glenn Roy Williams Chad johnson and Jerry rice. All these receivers wanted the ball on every play and made sure their QBs knew it. Just because you're quiet doesn't mean you're selfless and being loud doesn't mean youre not a team guy.
Manning made so many receivers better than they actually were
Bonk Caesar whole truth!!!
Manning definitely made them better but they had to be good to start with. Wayne had one of his best seasons without Manning and Harrison looked good his first 2 years before manning.
So did Brady
consistency counts for something lol idk why everyone so upset ab this to this day its true.
Marvin was great,don't get me wrong. But I can make a strong case against him being number 2 to Moss. Having a top 3 QB of all time for his entire career,the easy division opponents he went against, the rule changes that favored players of his type that benefited small guys with route running. I would put Moss 1 Harrison 2 and Owens 3 for 2000s.
Mr consistency and reliable for at least 8 plus seasons
I think all of you forget that Marvin had to split receptions with Reggie Wayne! If he didn't have to Reggie I'm sure his numbers would be better
I think this is correct, but one thing the others didn't have was a hall of fame qb all of theirs career. Marvin had Peyton from 1998 till he retired, don't get me wrong i think he deserves this but he had a bit of an advantage. I like that he was not a freak athlete like Moss o T.O. but he was a more consistent, intelligent and quiet player all around.
I have this guy in my Madden Mobile and he's 99rtd damn it feels soo proud to have him
people really out here loving to hate the colts. they always find a way to try to devalue the accomplishments. hoes mad bc we had the best qb (of all time) and most consistent receiver of his era
Marvin Harrison had broke records 1thousand + yards in 8 consecutive years Randy Moss made spectacular catches faster and quicker.
I agree
Absolute cheat code in PS2 street football
Moss and TO are both better
Why do you rank Moss ahead of Harrison on the all time receivers list?
Why do rank Moss ahead of Harrison on the 100 greatest players list? (Harrison isn't even on it)
Moss and TO both have more yards and TD'S than Harrison so how is Harrison better?
And that says it all right there.
Moss and TO sure were ahead of Harrison when it came to quitting on their teams, causing problems in the locker rooms and getting ran out of town. Harrison played for 1 team his entire career. Between the 2 of them Moss and TO played for 11 different teams. I wonder if there's some reason for that?
@@xaviervega468 Really? What does that say about TO and Moss bouncing around the league because nobody could put up with their attitudes? Moss could have been the greatest ever, just on sheer physical ability. But the dude couldn't not be a bad teammate. Ran out of Minn, he quit in Oak, ran out of NE because of his attitude. The dude played for 3 teams in one season lol. Really seems like teams didn't want to keep him long term or something.
@@Vichedges "Ran out of Minn" the dude was traded for a recent 1st rounder, the 7th overall pick and a 7th rounder, Oakland made a great offer and Minnesota accepted. Moss was great but you can't catch balls if they're nowhere near you, JaMarcus Russell was truly *the* most inaccurate QB of the decade- and he never even had a choice on where to play, he just got traded to Oakland and had to play on a hopeless team! I'll give you 2010 but that's not even the 2000s anymore, is it?
@@threenumbnuts Oh yeah, a first rounder (and don't forget that 7th!) for the greatest receiver in the NFL in his prime. What a deal!
Everywhere the guy went it ended the exact same way. He quit. He quit in Minn, he quit in Oakland, he quit in NE.
Hell, he went through three teams in 2010.
He was great when he wanted to be but he also was a whiny prima donna.
If he had had the heart of someone like Wes Welker or Julian Edelman Moss would have championship rings too.
as a die hard colts fan my entire life.
Randy Moss is the greatest WR of all time. Stats will tell you Jerry Rice. The film will tell you Randy Moss.
No one has ever possessed his combination of speed, size, athleticism and ability to catch everything. Give him Joe Montana and Steve Young and you have numbers beyond Jerry's.
Why in the hell is Andre Johnson not on this list? 5 time pro bowler, 2 time all pro, 673 receptions 9,164 yards and 50 tds in the 2000s. From 2003 to 2010 he was awesome. It’s a crime he isn’t on this list.
Terrell Owens was a BIG MOUTH. Marvin Harrison didn't have to say word. MARVIN'S action's spoke LOUDER than the big mouth. So do his stats.
Amanda Parks if Marvin Harrison self promoted his self as much as TO, he would be talked about as the greatest wide receiver of all time. Marvin Harrison has 4 season better than any Terrell Owens SEASON.
@@GodBody-BodyofGod thank you. TO was a TD monster but never led the league in yards or catches. Not one time.
It funny how they talk Marvin Harrison up and he had a guy killed but no one talks about that because people believe him to be such a great guy.smh Moss nor TO has this type of issue but they're the bad guys.
He shot at a guys truck get it right
In the 2000s (I'm counting 2000 and not counting 2010 -- if you disagree with that, fine, but that gives Marvin one more year he wouldn't have if we did it the other way around), Marvin Harrison caught 791 balls for 10,439 yards and 95 touchdowns. That's pretty good.
Randy Moss caught 777 balls for 11,739 yards and 120 touchdowns.
Marvin Harrison had one quarterback for that stretch of time, one of the greatest of all time, Peyton Manning.
Randy Moss had Daunte Culpepper, Todd Bouman, Spergeon Wynn, Gus Frerotte, Kelly Campbell, Marques Tuiasosopo, Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, Tom Brady, and Matt Cassel as his quarterbacks.
Marvin Harrison is one of the all-time greats. But not putting Moss at the very top of this list is entirely a personality thing. Greg Rakestraw praised this list for "not getting caught up in the hype machine." No, they got caught up in the anti-hype machine. Moss should have been number one.
And by the way, whatever you think of Moss' antics, at least he never found himself involved in an attempted murder like good ol' Marv did: deadspin.com/5447871/gq-unveils-new-stunning-details-about-marvin-harrison-gun-incident
Amazing
Id build a team...
Around Randy Moss Any day...
Really? Why? The dude usually made it a season or two before quitting in games or having a meltdown. He played for 6 different teams (Minn twice) so why do you think that was? And why would you build a team around a guy you couldn't count on?
You cannot argue with the #s. He was the best.
They said he wasn’t a guy who complained about not demanding the ball but he opening said that was not true and said how he wish his son would complain more like how he did
Ig guess it’s not something people saw him doing… because he rarely ever talked (to the media/in front of cameras at least) while he was playing. I live in Indy and he was my favorite player as a kid and I remember him saying like 2 sentences during the SB parade after they won in 06. Hearing him talk now in videos is unexpected
Yeah that’s definitely true he seemed like a drama free player. His son is going to be another incredible player I can’t wait to see what he does
*points at screen and laughs*
Thing he's got over randy and to a superbowl baby
Harrison was consistent because he had a top 3 QB of all time throwing to him on every single pass.
Marvin and reggie actually were really as good as the numbers say yes peyton is a big part of that but nobody connected with peyton any better than marvin he was just a beast
@von height and 4.2 speed are part of tandy moss himself. We actually can statistically adjust for qb although im not aware of any studies doing so. Ignoring qb skill when evaluating wrs is very stupid.
I know a lot won’t agree with me but I don’t think there will ever be another randy moss! Randy should be #1 not only on this list but ever (yes I know the nostalgic snobs will disagree but randy was the goat in my opinion.. a 6 “4” guy who ran a 4-2 and and had the ball skills to go with it? Cmon man
As good as Marvin was...he had Manning majority of this career. Imagine if Moss had a consistent and constant QB.
Randy Moss had amazing QBs. Lol. Cunningham, Culpepper, and Brady.
@@packersdog But not for extended periods and consistent periods of time. Cunningham 1 year, Brady 3 years, Culpepper 5. Alot of other QBs who are not noteworthy.
He was soooo fast
I'd rather have Wayne than Marvin
I'd rather have both lol. Good thing the Colts did for so many years.
Nah
They both were great and they both were real professionals. There's a reason TO and Moss couldn't stay anywhere and bounced around the league.
Marvin Harrison was in an offense with a QB that was thrown the ball 30-50 times per game. The guy was consistent but he isn't better than #3 or #2 on this list
Terrell Owens and Moss are both better than Marvin
So is steve smith
www.footballperspective.com/single-season-leaders-in-receiving-yards-per-team-pass-attempt/
0 rings. Plus they took games off. Marvin gave his all every game
T.O cant touch Harrison.
Nathan McConnell false, TO never took a game off. Distraction, yes, but you can't question his effort
Shiryu Rain false my good sir
Cali in the Building, I Salute #88 Marvin Harrison Silence Assassin🤫
Marvin is a top 3 wr all time. if you think otherwise you dont know football. end of discussion.
Eggsavore you must like being a troll... of marvins time name 10 better... I'll wait
Eggsavore did you watch the video at all? Did you not hear them talk about stats he has that jerry rice didn't even do?
even if jerry rice is better (which is honestly the only wr that has a case) that still makes Marvin top 3 Eggsavore
www.footballperspective.com/single-season-leaders-in-receiving-yards-per-team-pass-attempt/
In the most indicative stat a wr has, steve smith has the two greatest seasons ever by a wide receiver in the 2000's. And it's not even close. Plus neither season had a truly elite qb
You're smoking crack. LOL
I need to give you guys a big thank you for putting Marvin Harrison at #1
The Hank Aaron of wide receivers.....
Where's the top running backs of the 2000's? Does anyone know if they're gonna do one?
+Michael Stanton Yeah. How'd you know? I bet you're a Tupac fan?
I don't know but I bet they got Edgerin James ahead of Marshall Faulk and Ladanian Tomlinson.
Suicide_King someone's salty that they didn't pick the big names
He just played. He wasn't a loud mouth looking for the media. He just played. 💪💪💪💪
i love marvin but moss and t.o. is better
Better at whining and quitting and getting ran out of town, definitely. There's a reason those two played for 11 different teams while Harrison played his entire career with 1.
I don't think any of the people who think T.O. or Moss is better quite understand. This is for the 2000s it's literally because he was an elite receiver for way longer than either of those guys, and don't get me wrong both of those guys are super great and had their great seasons but stats and timewise? Harrison has them beat alllll the way
Key perfectly described Marvin's personality
yea when I say T.O you say star, if I say Randy Moss you say the best, I say marvin harrison you say yeah we was great BUT NOT THE BEST!
One thing that wasn't pointed out in the video wasn't just having Peyton Manning for all but two seasons, but the fact that Marvin Harrison was a ghost in the playoffs. In 16 postseason games Marvin only has one 100 yard game and two TDs with both coming in the same game. That's pretty bad. Part of the reason is because he wasn't known for being a physical WR so he often got punked by more physical CBs such as Ty Law and Ike Taylor. He was a great WR but no way should he be higher than Moss or Owens two receivers that put up big numbers with damn near anyone behind center (minus Moss' years in Oakland).
He only plsyed Ty Law twice in the playoffs(03,06). Law was hurt in 2004. He only played Ike Taylor once in the playoffs. His QB really strugged in the playoffs so it makes sense why Marvin would. Though it ia still pretty damning.
Tell me why Fitzgerald was the only one on this list getting criticized for being quiet when Marvin Harrison was just as quite and is number one? Now look Im not saying he doesn't deserve it but everyone in this video basically said "Its the quiet ones you got worry about" but with Fitz they basically said "He probaly wouldve been higher if he talked"?!?
Played in a dome, played with Manning, killed a guy. Not number 1.
Terram Lucida Tela Concilium I mean if we did top 10 linebackers would ray Lewis be in the discussion because he murdered someone?
@@gideonthomas8856 cold weather, harder ball, cold hands -_- wow you're smart
They call Jerry Rice the goat and ignore Joe Montana and Steve Young. They call Marvin Harrison the best of the 2000s and ignore Peyton Manning. This is why you should never use quantitative data to judge a good reciever. The eye test is much more effective.
