I think if you look at stats Clark's are SLIGHTLY better during that time frame but Clark played far fewer seasons and Monk was easily the best WR on this team prior to Clark(for 5 season). In fact he had over 300 catches before Clark was on this team so. So to say "well he wasn't ALWAYS the best WR on the team" is dumb. Jerry Rice wasn't ALWAYS the best.

I think it is safe to say Monk was the best WR from 80-84, Clark and Monk were then about equally as valuable.

In fact why should he suffer for having a good teammate? One could argue that it hindered him more than anything.

Everyone also forgets that had Clark played probably 3 more years at his average level then he'd be in the HoF mix also.
