Was Gary Clark our Best WR from 85-92?

Well of course, Monk played longer than Clark did. But, Clark was our home run guy and easily our #1 receiver toward the late 80's. All three receivers..Monk, Clark, and Sanders were such threats that on any given day, any of the three could take over a game. Maybe the best way for Monk to get into the Hall of Fame is in a package deal of inducting the Posse as a whole.

They played complementary roles - Monk did much more of the dirty work across the middle, while Clark was our primary home run threat. Monk had much better hands, that much is not even debatable. Watch highlights of Clark and he was much more of a "body catcher", often cradling the ball into his body, which ultimately led to more drops. Monk had among the best hands in the league, and was much more effective making a tough third down catch in traffic. Clark probably made more big plays when they played together, but Monk was far more reliable in my opinion.

That's true. Ricky Sanders had 3 "signature catches" in the super bowl against Denver. PUT HIM IN THE HALL!!!
