Personally I think he will be somewhere in the top five! Marvin doesn't have bad years! Personally I think he is the best Wide Receiver since Jerry Rice! What do you think?

first of all Marvin is 34 yrs old which is pretty damn old for an Wide Reciever. But yes without a doubt he'll get into canton hall of fame. Reason he has been to 8 straight pro bowl, apperances, and hold several NFL records:
Currently Harrison is averaging 93 receptions per season (92.7 rounded), which is an all time record. He is still well ahead of second place Sterling Sharpe who averaged 85 receptions per season (and should be noted Sterling played fewer seasons, which would only help his average).
Holds the record for most Receptions in a single season with 143, obliterating the previous record of 123 set by Herman Moore.
Only player to have four consecutive 100 or more reception seasons in NFL history.
Became the only player ever in the history of the NFL to have six double digit reception games in one single season in the 2002 regular season.
Became the only player in NFL history to have 12 games with 8 or more receptions in a single season in 2002.
Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning hold the record for most receptions between a QB and a WR with 723 receptions.
Harrison trails only Jerry Rice in 1500 or more receiving yard seasons. He has 3 such seasons, Rice had 4.
Marvin Harrison averages approximately 6 receptions per regular season game--an NFL record.

With 7 straight seasons of 1000 yards or more and 10 or more receiving TD's, Marvin Harrison has now set an NFL record passing Jerry Rice.
Second-fastest player to achieve 100 receiving touchdowns.

I believe he'll be the second-best WR ever (behind Jerry Rice), as far as receptions and reception yardage is concerned. Harrison will probably have to have great years for the next six years (until he's 40) in order to approach Rice's numbers). Rice, though, is a better athlete (bigger, faster). I can't imagine anyone dominating the WR position again like Rice has done.

I spent years in SF watching #80 score TD after TD to win games for the Niners. I watched TO look just average after Jerry left, which made his star shine even greater. He is definitely # 1 but I suspect if Marvin continues on the pace he currently is on, we will be seeing a new # 1 receiver in the NFL. The catch he made in the end zone on Sunday night (11/5) against the Patriots was spectacular.

Yes, Not number one but he will be on the list. The reason why is beacuse you need the rings, I don't believe rings define how good you are (Marino) but most non-football fans and some footballs think ring=best. Now saying that I still think Rice is better but Harrison can be comparable to Lynn Swann when he retires.

i think he is the best in the game right now, and when his career is over he will be a top 3 WR all time. i hate the colts but i appreciate what marvin harrison is doing for the game. all the WR's in the game should try to be more like him. all of the show boaters and trash talkers piss me off, marvin is better than all of them and he doesnt need to act like a dipshit to show it. his numbers do all of the talking.
did you see marvins catch last night?
doesnt get any better than that!

Top five without a doubt, but IMO, top 2 with he and Jerry Rice, in no particular order...

His numbers will be up there with the best, if Peyton Manning and the Colts offensive line stay healthy. Seems like Reggie Wayne is getting plenty of attention so far, but when the playoffs roll around, he'll get his....

Top 5. Hard to say. Rice is #1 but hard to say after that.

He will be on the top of the list. I think he is going to break all of Jerry's records, except most disturbing corn rows.
