For Skins fans: Is Emmitt the best RB ever?

[BigDFan5]

Using Skins fans logic (note NOT all of them)


Monk was better WR than Irvin because he had 8l00 more yards and 3 more TDs


So I was wondering if these same guys feel Emmitt is the best RB in history

I mean he is number 1 in rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing TDs

So guys tell me is Emmitt the best RB to ever play the game?

Simple Answer. No.

Among the best certainly, but the best. No.

I see what your saying but...........this is where you went wrong they have none.

Simple Answer. No.

Among the best certainly, but the best. No.

I think skins fans should stop crying and just wait its obvious that Monk will be inducted before the mandatory date, so stop crying just because our boy from the U got in first its not a race both were great

the only thing Mike was better at was being a bigger personality which definitley helped his case into the hall

 

[BigDFan5]

Simple Answer. No.

Among the best certainly, but the best. No.

So you disagree with the majority or Commanders fans saying Monk is better than Irvin correct?

Michael Irvin shined against the toughest CB's and in the biggest moments during the Cowboys playoff/championship years. Michael Irvin didn't have a true number two receiver to help take away the constant double teams and over the top coverage...

I havent shed a tear over Monk. To me it was expected. Irvin had the personality. It may have been an advantage indeed.

No. I think they were both vital pieces to their teams success. Yet Monks role as a blocker, and a leader are overlooked because he wasnt as outspoken. His demeanor and media avoidance was probably frustrating to some, yet his leadership and play was undeniably one of the best of the time.

one of the Best of all time?

Can you explain exactly how Monk was better than Irvin and especially how he is one of the best of all time?

Hes certainly up there. Im not old enough to have seen Payton, Brown and others that would be considered the best.

Michael Irvin shined against the toughest CB's and in the biggest moments during the Cowboys playoff/championship years. Michael Irvin didn't have a true number two receiver to help take away the constant double teams and over the top coverage...

You can also look at it this way and say that Gary Clark took away some of the already impressive #'s Monk put up in is career.

Simple quesiton, yes or no answer... was Monk better then Irvin?


Quit beating around the bush and answer the question, and then - preferably - explain why you feel that way.

Clark only opened things up for Monk. He didn't take anything away.

When I was a kid and the cowboys played the skins, I never worried about Art Freakin' Monk. The guy I feared out of that recieving group was Gary Clark. Art Monk was nothing more then a Keyshawn Johnson. Solid, not great. That's not a bad thing. But it does mean he's not worthy of the HOF.

Hey if you say it, it has to be true right? You dont think Clark took anything away from Monk? Are you serious? Clark himself put up some pretty nice #s and went to the pro bowl a few times.

And he was a better WR then Monk.

Ok whatever u say. Clark himself has said that Monk was the better receiver.

He's being a good teammate.

Urlacher blamed poor tackling on the Superbowl loss... he knows it and we know that the Bears offense is to blame.

Maybe or maybe hes just telling the truth. Do you think Clark was better? If so then how come no one ever talks about him for HOF consideration? Out of that decade where we went to 4 SBs......we only have 1 player......1.....in the HOF, and he only played in the first 2 SBs. Crap there i go *****ing about this. Ill stop.

Who was better Irvin or Monk?

 

[Big Dakota]

Ya well Bob Hayes was a better, much more dynamic WR than Charley Taylor and Taylor is in the HOF. Monk isn't in because he wasn't a huge difference maker. He'll probably get in eventually on a sympathy vote, . But if he doesn't, i'll be happy because Hayes deserves to be in and isn't, so Monk not getting in would be justice.

 

[apickmans]

Who was better Irvin or Monk?

BigDFan ill be honest with you. I was born in 1982, therefor was not old enough to remember Monk when he played in his prime. I just remember him during early 90's. I saw Irvin play for most of his career and I remember being a great receiver for his team, just like Monk was for his. Its hard to compare the 2 if you didnt get to see them both play equally ya know? But Irvin is in the HOF before Monk so the general public sees it as Irvin being better. 24 just started so i gotta go.

He was better than anyone who ever played for Washington. Except maybe for Timmy Smith, since Timmy Smith is the only running back ever to start ahead of a healthy Emmitt Smith.
