Would Monk Be in the HOF if?

[SFREDSKIN]

This is a thread that is dear to my heart and it hurts bad!! This man gave it his all, set all kinds of records and was the classiest player ever (D.Green too). All this writers that keep voting against him are idiots that love the M. Irvin, T.O. types. Jerry Rice played in a passing team, had Joe Montana and Steve Young for QB's. Who did Art have besides Theismann that was decent? The Redskins are running team first, the Niners were primarily a passing team with 2 of the best QB's around. I would say Monk and Rice talent wise are the same, if not, Monk has an edge because of my primary bias and he basically played in a tougher division. Jerry played twice a year against crappy Falcons, Saints and Rams teams (think what Monk could have done if Montana was his QB and he played against those teams 6 times a year? Monk had the Cowboys, Giants, Eagles (great teams in the 80's, ok Cowboys had a few bad years). You want to talk class? Monk was the humble quiet one, Jerry was the flashy one with the fifi hairdo, tattoo's, etc. got caught in a massage parlor, of course he said it was a joke his friends played on him. Monk had bad luck with injuries when it came to those early SB years, I was so happy for him when he scored agains the Bills in the last SB for the Skins. I've lived in SF, CA for 25 years and have seen Rice play and bitch and whine because he didn't get enough balls his way, gee I wonder where T.O. got that attitude? Rice was a great player, but will never ever have the class that Art was. Joe Theismann use to say that Art Monk was the best receiver, I second that!! Think what the NFL would be like if there was more Art Monk types around? He was a real gentleman and to me, the best damn receiver ever!!
