So here's a question: Why the hell isn't Gary Clark ever mentioned as being worthy of the Hall? He was everything Art Monk wasn't -- fiery, outspoken, the 'superstar' on the field -- you know, the things everybody says is Monk's biggest obstacle.
When we needed a knock-out punch, Clark was THE guy. That man was a game-breaker. For those who were too young to remember him, think of all the explosive dominance of Santana Moss in 2005 ... now, triple it.
According to the statements of the voters, Gary Clark should have been a first-ballot guy.

He is mentioned. He just didn't play long enough. One thing I LOVED about Clark ( this has nothing to do w/ the topic) was that he was not going to be taken out of the line up. NO MATTER WHAT. Sore hamstrings and all. He didn't care he was going to play. Plus this guy just hated to lose. I know he was a pain the in ass to Gibbs but give me 53 Gary Clarks on my team and I'll give you a winner.
