WHY????? He was never on a Super Bowl Winner. His numbers are almost the same as Art's except he had 19 more TD's. The only reason he had more TD's is he was the only reciever of any note on the Bills. In Art's tenure we had Saunders and Clark among others who were gifted guys. Otherwise their numbers are very similar. I just don't get it. Here you have a guy like Art Monk that is/was the epitomy of class and grace and he gets slapped in the face. Reed was a hot head (wasn't it Reed who got upset in the Super Bowl and cost his team the game by jerking off his helmet?) I just don't get it. I am not saying he was not a great reciever because he was. I just see very little difference between him and Art and really feel that Art should have been a first ballot guy. I know I am preching to the choir here but I just don't get the brush off Art gets. Whats not to love about the guy!!! SmootSmack 10-03-2006, 04:19 PM He's a cinch? I hadn't heard that anywhere LBrown43 10-03-2006, 04:20 PM I submit this in support of my argument....Compare: Art Monk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Monk) To: Andre Reed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Reed) LBrown43 10-03-2006, 04:22 PM It was mentioned this weekend during one of the games and had read it several places in the past. Also Wikipedia says pretty much the same and that it was an "oversight" in his first year of eligibility. onlydarksets 10-03-2006, 04:29 PM I haven't heard that he is a lock. I wouldn't trust Wikipedia - it now says he won't get in before Art Monk. MTK 10-03-2006, 04:31 PM I haven't heard anything about him being a cinch either. At least not from a reliable source. I don't see him getting in before Monk. LBrown43 10-03-2006, 04:33 PM I know that is what Wikipedia says but I have read it before and heard again this weekend. Just really burns my ass thats all. I can be reactionary at times and probably started this thread from my heart and not my head. If there is any justice, Art will be the next reciever in and it will be this summer. davy 10-03-2006, 04:33 PM Obviously written by a Bills fan. skinsguy 10-03-2006, 04:38 PM I submit this in support of my argument....Compare: Art Monk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Monk) To: Andre Reed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Reed) Yeah, but wikipedia isn't necessarily written by "experts." Of course, neither are those who choose Hall Famers (at least lately) are experts in my eyes.... Beemnseven 10-03-2006, 05:10 PM Andre Reed holds the record for receiving yardage in the Super Bowl, I think. Plus, James Lofton was a teammate of his for many seasons, so there was competition for the ball in Buffalo just as there was here. Still, the noise for Art Monk will get louder and louder as more receivers of his era are mentioned for the Hall.
