Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Cris Carter didn't even make the final cut

The WR position has gone through such a revolution, not only in number of catches per year, but in career length. There was a time when even the most productive players were 60 catch guys for seven or eight years. Eighty catches is a disappointment now for players in their primes, and Jerry Rice played for 20 seasons.

Monk was around for the beginning of the stat-hog WRs, but never was one. It harmed his case - but thankfully didn't kill it.
