And I'm sorry Monk was an excellent reciever but to say he was better than IRVIN come on IRVIN change the way the wr in the league played they had to change the prototipal CB after him to a more physicall and bigger one because IRVIN just tossed them around.

He was a force on the field and a big part of a dinasty, sorry but I give any day better chances for him to get in that 2 Monk.
Monk was a big strong, physical receiver as well. Even though he didn't appear to be as fast as other receivers we've had on the team (Gary Clark, Santana Moss, etc...) he always found ways to get open downfield. Even when he wasn't exactly open, he still was able to haul in the pass. I am not taking anything away from Michael Irving, I thought he was a great receiver as well, but there is nothing between the two receivers that would suggest that Art Monk lacked anything from getting into the Hall of Fame before Michael Irving. In all honesty, Art Monk should have already been in the hall of fame.
