Re: Theismann Elicits Strong Emotions

One of Peter King's biggest knocks on Art Monk is that he was only voted to the Pro Bowl 3 times. King acknowledges that Monk was very good, but he points out that Monk was only considered, via his pro-bowl selections, a top 4 WR in the NFC in 3 years of his 15-year career, in '84, '85, and '86. He played for 9 seasons after that and never went to the Pro Bowl.

Darrell Green was voted to the Pro Bowl 7 times in his 20-year career, and those times spanned his entire career. He went in '84, '86, '87, '90, '91, '96, and '97. That shows he was considered a top flight CB at various points ALL THROUGHOUT his career. So King can't go making the same argument he made about Monk, because Green was voted to the Pro Bowl a lot more than Art.

I think Darrell will get in, though I'm going to drop a note in Peter King's mailbag to see if he'll address Green's chances in his next column. I suggest you guys do the same.
