Haha, no, I’m not going to be talking about the geriatric quarterback for a team that is already out of contention, or even a younger quarterback for a team that is further out of contention. This is about Dallas Clark. Sure, it might be overstating it to talk about a tight end, but I don’t think Clark is just any tight end.
Look at Clark’s numbers. In 2008 and 2009 he had 77 and 100 receptions for the Colts, emerging as a new receiving candidate as Marvin Harrison’s time with the Colts was winding down. Then last year Anthony Gonzalez went down and Clark became a force on a Super Bowl team. Now this year, Austin Collie is nicked up, Gonzalez hasn’t been at his best yet and Pierre Garcon is recovering from an injury. Who will emerge across from Reggie Wayne now? Jacob Tamme? Blair White? Who ARE these people?
I have no doubt that Peyton Manning will find his way out of this jam. I mean, Donovon McNabb still shone without ever having a wide receiver in his career. Maybe Manning can prove once and for all he is a brilliant quarterback, not someone that has simply been blessed with skilled receivers.
