Darrell Green... first ballot hof?

[Darrell_Green_28]

I agree DG should be a first ballot hof. You can not compare DG with Monk.. you should never say Monk is more deserving.. They are both GREAT REDSKINS. BOTH worked their asses of ON AND OFF the field and look at this they kept out of trouble..maybe that might hurt DG on getting in.. But they should Retire #28. 20 yrs same team. not many others can say they have played 20 yrs much less with the same team , unless youre a kicker, then you would have been on 5-6 teams in that 20 yr period. never heard any whining out of him. Yeah Retire #28.. Would be great to see to ex-team mates make it the same time.. heres a link.. atleast one is wrong in this link.. #55.. DG would be another one to add to that #55

for one. they were both great on the field and off the field.
two. one played offense the other defense of course monk will score more tds, more catches, etc...
three. thats like comparing Russ Grimm to Joe Jacoby... 2 great redskins. you couldnt say grimm deserves it more than jacoby..

Yeah I totally agree Green Should will be a first ballot he was a top player for the most part of his carreer when I see the HOF a defentl ysee green there

[Schneed10]

I think Green was a more valuable player to the Redskins than Art Monk was. Don't get me wrong, I think Monk was great. But can I honestly say he's one of the top 10 WRs ever to play the game? I'm not sure about that. But I feel very confident in saying that Darrell Green was one of the top 10 CBs to ever play the game.

1) Jerry Rice
2) Lance Alworth
3) Lynn Swann
4) Marvin Harrison
5) Steve Largent
6) Cris Carter
7) Charlie Joiner
8) James Lofton
9) Tim Brown

yeah I agree with this list also even thought I really believe if Carter and Brown are up there like it or not M.Irvin should be there also he's a top 10 wr we're talking of production not off field issues he change the game in his time and the way CB should be.

yeah i agree Hopefully Darrell is going to bring recognition to the Skins and the voters will notice Monk as well.

[Big C]

gotta be. great player for so long. hall of fame is about greatness over time, and he certainly was great for a very...very long time

[TheInspector]

The Hall-of-Fame voting is more like a popularity contest. It makes me sick.

DG will be HOF, first round. Right or wrong, he is far more popular with the media, and more well known. I can frequently remember corner backs in general being compared to DG. As much as I love Art Monk, you did not hear those kind of unsolicited types of comments from the media.
