Monk retired as the leading all-time receiver in 1995 with 940 catches, but Reed retired with 951. Reed had 87 touchdown catches, while Monk had 68. Reed averaged 13.9 per catch to Monk's 13.5 per catch.
So who deserved it more?"

Well you might have added this line below what you posted from what Prisco said:
They picked the wrong defensive end and the wrong receiver Saturday. That isn't to say that Monk and Dean aren't worthy of strong consideration, but on this day the two better candidates got left off.
Not sure why the guy is an idot for his feelings about these players its not like he was comparing him to Brandon Lloyd.
