I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong, irish) that he's saying Art is not HOF worthy, it's just that he's going to keep dropping down the list of NFL receiving stats, which is a primary focus of the election process.
By the way, I totally believe and always will believe that Art Monk should be in so don't take this post as me saying the opposite. I just didn't want this day to turn into one where fellow Redskins fans attack one another.

You are correct. At the time he retired I thought he was a shoe-in for the HoF. Now in 2007 he has been gone for quite some time so he slips from memory and his stats keep slipping. When one looks at him in comparision to those that came after his stats are decent but just dont stand out as an obvious HoF choice. If he didnt get in within 2 or 3 years of his becomming eligible then I just see no way he's getting in now.
