Art Monk robbed yet again.
 

Well, it looks like for the 6th straight consecutive year in a row running Art Monk has been jobbed by NFLHOF voters. Sure, he only had 3 pro bowls, but when he retired, he was the NFL's all time leader in receptions, held the record for most catches in a season for awhile, and had 3 SB appearances, with 2 wins. John Stallworth is in with 400 less catches and same amount of pro bowls, as is his teammate, Lynn Swann, with over 6 HUNDRED less catches and same amount of pro bowls. Monk's stats aren't inflated by the rise of recptions that has come about in the past 10-12 years either. I'm not saying he's the best ever, not by a long shot, but he easily deserves to be in the hall.

He wasn't the best wr on his team for more than 3 years of his career. why should he get in? I went over this in the other thread.

Catches != great reciever.

Michael Irvin was a better player.

I have to agree with the oringinal post. There's no doubt that Art Monk deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He even retired with the reception record, and he did not get inflated numbers like some players (namely Chris Carter). Also, Swann and Stallworth are not nearly as deserving as Monk. At least that is my opinion on the matter (not that anyone asked.)

Sure. But you're wrong on your other post. When was he not the best reciever on his team?
