Wayne and Harrison were GOATs but they also had a GOAT throwing them the ball.   Man, they were fun to watch.  Pittman has a lot of potential for sure and he's really good.  Hard to say what he would look like with a Prime Peyton Manning but he doesn't jump off the screen the same way to me.  

I think he's great between the numbers but I agree nothing about his game makes you go "wow" there's something special about him. I got that from Harrison's crazy corner end zone catches and Wayne's silky smooth route running and hands of glue.

Now, Alec Pierce has a little of that "wow" factor as a go get it guy. If he can become more consistent then he can really be something special imo.

Pittman is a really tough hard nosed guy for a WR imo, the kind that can get you an extra yard or three after contact. 
 

During the jags game they mentioned that his dad was an RB and he always wanted to do that but grew up tall and lanky instead. I think that explains a lot about his game.

If it is one thing we know about Pittman Jr. it is that he has good genetics.

83 YPG x 17 games= 1400 yards+ ...Which would have put him 5th in the league last year. That is the pace Pitt is on right now. 

Reggie is one of my favorite Colts ever, in the top 4, no question. He wasn't elite his first three years, whether he had Marvin Harrison or not. He wasn't. He was marginally above avg. Reggie got 20% of the targets in Year 3 and didn't produce, overly well. 

Pittman has stupidly outperformed Reggie Wayne through 2.5 years of their career.

Without a HOF quarterback throwing him the ball

No horse in this race, but is Matt Ryan a Hall of Famer? He was one of the truly elite modern QBs for a really long time. I’d lean yes but am curious if others think so.

I would lean no.  But, I don't necessarily know that I have an opinion.

I didn’t either til I read that post lol. Had never thought about it, but he’ll retire with an MVP trophy and in the top 10 all-time in yards, completions, and TDs. Who knows where he’ll be by the time he gets on the ballot, but I’m sure there are worse players in the hall. He’ll definitely get knocked for not having a title.

Joe Nammath was 50.1% for his career. 173 TDs 220INTs. HOF. 

Idk what that means for Ryan, but I saw his stats the other day. Thought it was interesting.

If Terrell Davis is a Hall of Famer everybody should be.  (Seriously this annoys me)

I'd bet Ryan makes it in.  He was really good for a long time.  I'd say he sucks this year but...

Broadway Joe is a different animal.  He was the icon in an iconic Super Bowl victory.

That’s a great question Would think a guy who was top 5-10 in the league for a dozen years with an MVP and the big stats is probably a yes, though you could argue that he’s been mostly a compiler. But there are liable to be a bunch of guys waiting to get in, so it may take a good while. Could maybe see him being one of those guys on the doorstep for a few years who doesn’t quite make it, gets passed over by the next wave, and then becomes a senior committee guy down the road.

Joe had the cool nickname, charisma and played in NYC.

Pretty sure Matt Ryan can’t read a defense at this point.

 

Both of those interceptions were awful
