By the time he retires Wayne could easily be top 5 in receiving yards, top 10 in TD's, and top 10 in receptions. Depending on how his career plays out he could end up in 2nd behind Jerry Rice in yards. Doesn't seem like dude gets mentioned much amongst the greats though.

    peyton manning isnt his QB anymore, so this ? isnt happening. larry fitz. and calvin johnson have better chances of succeeding to that level

    and this is coming from a fan

    3,150 yards, 18 TD's, 89 receptions. You're a fan and you don't think that's at least possible? Dude may have 4+ years left. If Luck lives up to some of his hype then Wayne can pull 800 yards, 4-5 TD's, and 21+ catches over the next 4

    Wayne is a good WR, but Manning made him better.
    Simple as that.

    So what though? Once you reach a certain level of success for a certain period of time it's time to stop nitpicking. No one's discrediting Rice for havin HOF QB's

    Ya, but that's the hometown hero. I feel like he should be gettin more credit as one of the top WR's of the past decade.

    he's one of the better wr's of the 2000's, but you know people are gonna still try to discredit his abilities simply because manning was his qb.

    Reggie Wayne is tough, why didn't he request a trade tho? And Peyton Manning may have thrown the passes, but Reggie running the route and catching the damn ball.

    dis right here nd dat aint fair he's a hell of a route runner nd has dependable hands its crazy dat combo lasted longer then Manning nd Harrison I honestly think if u put Wayne on a any other team he can be a 1,000 yards reciever

    skelton and kolb, and fitzgerald still had 80 rec. with 1400 yards. a better QB would help his chances but at worst he can finish in the top 10 in most of the major categories

    and stafford isnt a ? . if he can stay healthy him and johnson will continue to put up monster numbers
