I find it ironic that Joe Gibbs got in as a great head coach and one of the best offenive minds in NFL History yet three of his main cogs on that offense, Jacoby, Grimm and especially Monk dont get their due. Other teams who won as much over an extended period like Gibbs Skins did seem to have gotten more than one player in the HOF yet only Riggins has gotten that respect from the media thus far.

Joe Gibbs to me is one of a handful of the greatest coaches ever to live but he didn't do it alone. He had great players who came up big on the biggest stage. Monk to be is a no brainer yet he isn't in. Jacoby and Grimm were the very best of one of the best offensive lines of all time, an offensive line that Gibbs built his great offense around. No other modern era coach has relyed as much on a great offensive line as Gibbs did IMO because he was the master of ball control which puts a heavy burden on your offensive line.

I hate to whine and say there is an anti Redskins bias going on with the HOF but it sure looks that way...and of course I am biased...LOL.
