Was Gary Clark our Best WR from 85-92?

[mike340]

I can't remember a single "signature catch" for Harry Carson. ;-)

More to the point, one of the most convincing reasons that Monk should be in the HOF is that there is no fan asking for Clark to enter before Monk. Clark was extremely high in the list of career receptions and yardage when he retired (does someone know how to get this data?) and he has "sexy" (i.e. home-run) catches, yet almost all Redskins fans feel that Monk should be in the HOF before Clark.

In addition, Monk's 106 catches in 1984 was 11 more than any other receiver in the time period from 1964 to 1989 (and the record at the time). The first time an AFC player got more than 106 catches was 1999!

As an additional aside, Monk helped Clark's stats, but Clark hurt Monk's stats. Monk kept on getting the first downs, allowing more long shots to Clark. But Clark took away a lot of the big receptions that Monk otherwise would have gotten.

Maybe if we retire his number...?

Not only wasen't he the best LB you could make a case that the Giants never missed a beat defensivly when Carson retired and Pepper Johnson stepped in, and yes he played in a 3-4 set. They can talk all they want about why they want to keep Monk out, but by sheer numbers regardless of any signature catch, or who was the best WR on the team in a given year, makes Monk an absolute no brainer!
