Vote for Hall of Fame

[Apluz]

I'm pretty sure 7 can enter the HOF..... with Wright getting an exemption because he is a senior selection so add Irvin to your list if you feel he is deserving.

Go even further back for the whole history of the NFL and look at Titles. the Giants and Eagles have a few of those...the Skins have two more.

The NFC East from top to bottom has the best History of any division.

You have to go back to 66, which is when we basically became the franchise we are. I have no problem giving teams there due for past accomplishments but it makes little sense to go back further then our existance for comparative purposes.

The only reason I put in the 2 Cowboy limit is because we, rather we would admit it or not, would be biased to say all three should go in, along with many others we feel are deserving. I just wanted a two max to see which 2nd Cowboy was the most popular choice besides Troy. I chose Wright over Irvin because I think Mike will get in eventually, but the further it goes, the less chance Rayfield will get in. I also am very close in agreeing that Monk deserves to get in, but I'll have to do more research on him. Also, there's no way in Hades Burger King would allow 3 boys in the same year. And we know that if there is less than six that get in, the odd man out will have worn the star.

I know most will probably think this is just me being a homer and just hating on the Commanders, but I would put Irvin in as a no brainer before I would Monk. Don't get me wrong, Monk was a very good WR, but to me is a borderline HoF candidate. Monk's stats are more a product of the years he played in the NFL vice true greatness.

Monk played 15 seasons and 3 games of a 16th season. In that time he only produced 5 seasons over 1000 yards, but had 8 seasons of under 800 yards, in 2 of those seasons he played 9 games and in a 3rd he played in 12 games. He finished in the top 10 in receptions 4 times, yards receiving 3 times and TD receptions 1 time.

Irvin played 11 seasons and 4 games of a 12th season. In that time he had 7 seasons over 1000 yards and only had 3 seasons under 800 yards including his 2nd season when he only played 6 games due to injury. He finished in the top 10 in receptions 4 times, yards receiving 6 times and TDs 5 times.

In almost 200 more games than Irvin Monk produced only 817 more yards and 3 TDs. It's very easy to say had Irvin played a full 12th season he would have easily surpassed Monk's stats.

To me the NFL Hall of Fame doesn't have the responsibility to vote in guys who put up great stats simply because they hang around for 15, 16 or 17 years unless those guys have done something that truly establishes their greatness (i.e. Jerry Rice). Probably the biggest thing working against Monk's induction is during the heyday of the Commanders in the late 80's and early 90's Monk wasn't even his team's best WR. Gary Clark was and he's a guy I'm very surprised hasn't gotten more attention. To me he put up some very good stats and should be in the talk.
