I would put the following receivers ahead of Monk:
- Jerry Rice
- Don Hutson
- Steve Largent
- Randy Moss
- Terrell Owens
- Lynn Swann
And you can make a case for many others. So I DENY that he is the third best receiver of all-time.
Furthermore, he only made the Pro Bowl 3 times.
On the other hand, he played a lot of games with quarterbacks that would make you snicker if one of your friends had to watch them play for a whole season, becahse he was on their team.
On the other hand, he was on three Super Bowl winning teams (and four total, right?), even though one was in a season where they only played 9 games and a kicker was MVP for the year.
On the other hand, through many years of his career, in his prime, he was not the leading receiver on his team.
...
Well, let's break it down scientifically. They have to put five guys in, so I'd go (of the people offered, in no order):
Cris Carter
Darrell Green
Randall McDaniel
Andre Reed
Derrick Thomas
SORRY ART! Art is honestly the sixth best guy IMHO on the ballot this year. He'll probably get in over Derrick Thomas though, so enjoy having two more Hall of Fucking Famers. I still got to root for ZERO growing up.
