..because they were surrounded by great players?
At some point the media has to decide which of these players were so great that the others don't deserve their accolades.
Last 2 days I have heard many state how Emmitt belongs in the top 5 list at best.
Irvin is dened the HOF, which isnt a surprise and by itself isn't overly upsetting based on past history. But hearing Steve Young easily got in on 1st vote does make Irvin's snub a bit tough to take.
I know there is a great chance Aikman and Emmitt will be 1st ballot guys. But I still feel some of the 90's cowboys were penalized for having some great teammates, maybe too much so.
