Monk, HOF or Not?

No.. He just had a crap load of mediocre seasons.. He didn't make many pro bowls and rarely led the league in anything..

20 years of eh... = 10 years of goooood

 

I didn't know record setting seasons are now called "mediocre."

Have you ever seen the man play?

Not video clips, I'm talking full games, and not one, at least 5-10.

 

I've never watched him play.. The stats don't look so great though.. lol

There was nothing mediocre about Art Monk and even the reason the stats don't look stellar is because nowadays WRs are putting up bigger numbers at the time Monk was setting records

 

True the rules for QB/WR's has changed so much...can you imagine Marino(in his prime) in today's NFL? :icon_eek:

 

Yea i can, the numbers would be phenomenal

 

Exactly, I think that's the main problem with people today, they don't understand the game has changed a lot since he's played.

 

Monk should have been there a long time ago. It did take Lynn Swann a while to get in.

at this point he almost needs a year that doesnt have any Elway's Barry Sanders, Marinos, etc that are eligable.

 

Finally, not a dumbass, I don't know why, but I think a lot of your fans just say he shouldn't be in because he was a Redskins player for so long.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't like Dallas, but to say Smith shouldn't be allowed in is just stupid.

 

I used to not want Monk in b/c of his team, but in comparison to other players in, he stacks up and will probably get in via the veterans comittee if definate first ballot keeps coming up.

 

I won't be happy if he's in the veterans committee, that's like saying, you weren't good enough to get in here, so we'll let you in here, heck that.
