i don't see how edge isn't the consensus here. TD/portis/SA/holmes all were at least somewhat influenced by great offensive lines and offensive schemes.

uh, so was edge

99-00 Edge wasn't playing in the Colts offense of today. Manning was a good young QB, but not yet an all time great.
The WR corps was Harrison and a bunch of scrubs. The #2 was Terrence Wilkens, and the TEs were Dilger and Pollard. It wasn't the embarrassment of riches that it would become with Wayne and Clark.

The Offensive line of the Colts has always been built to pass protect first, run block second.
