Credit where credit is OVERDUE. If Monk does not get in, no way should Irvin even be considered for induction.

As for Aikman, during his induction speech, HE even admitted that his stats were not all that great and worthy of the Hall of Fame. But if you look at most of his career, most of the games he played in they were leading at halftime and he as just handing off to Emmit in the second half to control the clock.

Aikman is the winningest QB of any decade in the NFL, and that is a stat that helped him get in. Not only that, how many other QB's in NFL history went from 1-15 in one season and then hoisted the Lombardi trophy only 2 years later? Stats like those helped him get in.

I have never been a Redskins fan as most of you know, but I have always been a big fan of Daryl Green and Art Monk, two of the classiest players I have ever seen play the game. Monk should get nods over Irvin any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
