That being said, Irish, what the hell are you thinking! (j/k). But seriously, how can you possibly say that Monk doesn't deserve to be in? Because he didn't make a memorable catch? If that is actually a criterion of yours, then Brandon Lloyd should start getting ready to have his bust made. What does a memorable catch have to do with anything? What, if anything else, are your reasons why you don't think he should be in?

IMO the one of the biggest reasons Monk did not get the votes is because in the Super Bowls he just was not any kind of factor. I know he cant help how he was used (or not used) in the game plan but thats just the way it is. Also as I have said in the past his numbers while good when he retired are just not that outstanding now. He needed to get in within the first couple of years he was eligible, now that thats passed his numbers and memory keep fading. Unfortunately I just dont see him ever getting in.
