Before the season began, I opined that Harrison, one of the most fiercely prideful athletes ever to play this game, would have an epic comeback season, returning after injuries to both knees and reaching the Pro Bowl. And I still think it’s way too early to write the epitaph on a Hall of Fame receiving career.

But the whispers are starting. And the longer Harrison goes without having that Marvin-like breakout game, the louder the whispers will become, ultimately turning into howls.

“I don’t know how to say this, but it was almost sad to watch Marvin (against the Minnesota Vikings),” said former running back and current ESPN analyst Merril Hoge, speaking Wednesday on WFNI-1070 AM. “It’s sad to watch him. It’s like he’s a shadow of himself. During the game, I’ve seen Peyton (Manning) throw that comeback to Marvin a hundred times, but this time, Marvin didn’t have that explosiveness coming back to the ball and it got knocked down. And after that (play), he was never a factor in the game.”

The piece goes on to site more evidence that the end may be near to a productive career.
