Monk and Reed both deserved to go in. Prisco's implied suggestion that Reed should have gone in before Monk is what gets everyone upset.

As for the stats - yes Reed has better ones. Reed was the number one receiver in a pass based offense. Arguably, he was the first of the modern receivers.

Monk and Reed comparison's are somewhat apples to oranges given the offenses they played in and the roles they played in those offenses. What I think makes them HOF worthy is that, if they had switched places, they still would have posted phenomenal numbers.
