Art will get in someday, but it will have to be when there aren't any other reputable receivers to compete with. He should be in.

That said, I think Irish has a point in that Monk wasn't the game-breaking playmaker that Michael Irvin was. That's not saying he was a better receiver than Monk, it's just that he was more visible. It's kind of like how offensive linemen are compared with running backs or wideouts. They're just as vital to the success of a team, but they are the unsung heroes. That was Art Monk. I knew from the very beginning that if it were Monk vs. Irvin for the hall, Irvin would win hands down. Not saying it's right -- it's just the way it is.

I actually believe Gary Clark was more of a dominant threat -- why isn't he ever mentioned for the hall?
