Pete Prisco the idiot

[firstdown]

Well its an argument that has some merit but its not like Reed does not have next year. Yes the three SB's do add to Monks history but if thats the only case then what about Dan Marino.

I have zero problems with Reed going in, he's definitely Hall worthy. I agree that what ticked people off is someone saying Monk should have waited even longer. The guy has been hanging for 8 years, enough is enough.

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.

I think the Irvin selection over Monk proved that the best candidate doesn't always get in.
