We appreciate you here in Houston AJ! Too bad we’ve yet to do a darn thing meaningful. Hopefully we will someday before you want out,get away or retire.

Maybe Irvin got into the HOF before Monk because he was the lead WR on the most dominant team of the 90′s, had more Pro Bowls than Monk, and averaged almost 20 yards (about 40%) more per game than Monk. Monk averaged over 80 yards per game twice. Irvin did it 5 times and was twice over 90. Michael Irvin is 3rd among all HOF WRs in yards per game trailing only Rice and Alworth.

You know what else got lost in the shuffle?
The fact that Andre Johnson is this year’s selection for the Art Monk Award.
(It’s in the last sentence of the third paragraph, lost amid the self-lauding describing the inspiration of the creation of the Art Monk Award itself.)

“It’s called and “always the focus of the opposing defense, unlike Art Monk, who was never really more than a #2 guy”.”
———
And Irvin was the focus? Not Emmitt? Or how to bust up that monstrously oversized yet athletic line? None of that was the focus? It was all Irvin?
Yeah.. didn’t think so.
Irvin career is the culmination of him being a push off king and getting away with it.
Nothing more.. nothing less

“Great choice and sorry Moron B and other cowboys fans, Miles Austin could not hold Andre’s jock.”
Neither could Art Monk, for that matter. I agree with most of the people on here. Monk was never the best receiver in the league at any point in his career.

You are an absolute tool for something like that, and although my own exsistance has been cheapened by commenting on yours, it was worth it because no one else has pointed that out.
Andre “The Giant” Johnson is spectacular without a doubt.

Really??? Monk was only the All Time leading reciever in N.F.L. history when he retired…….Not bad for a #2 reciever……….

I read the first paragraph and immediately thought of Andre Johnson. There’s a guy who lets his play do the talking, while other less talented receivers are running their mouths or doing stupid stunts to make themselves seem better than they are. Johnson made a play fighting for the end zone last season that should be in the NFL’s top 10.
While the Jets defense deserves credit for stopping the Texans cold, the Raiders didn’t hold Johnson down. The Texans quit passing because they had a big lead – so says the 6 pass attempts in the second half. Andre had a 62 yard catch in the first half, so I don’t think the Raiders held him down that much. And while Johnson did have his best games against St Louis and Seattle, he also put up good numbers against playoff teams Arizona, Indianapolis, and Cincinnatti.

The guy is good no doubt about it, but Welker was just as big a beast…in a much smaller body

There is NO comparison.
Just like an idiot cowboy fan to throw his 1 cent in. He cant afford 2.

“*Cue Vox Veritas and other Cowboys fans coming into post to proclaim Miles Austin the best wide receiver in 2009*”
No, Jason Avant is the best WR in the NFL. Didn’t you get the “Gold Standard” memo?

He must have had something on Peter King to get him to talk him up.
That dude STILL shouldn’t be in there.

“In the past two seasons, he has been limited by nothing and no one”
Um, Darrelle Revis says ‘hello’. Week 1, 2009 wasn’t that long ago…
————————————–
Asomugha says ‘hello’ too… in fact, for both years…..

Gotta love the people that have nothing to be proud of except for the fact that their cornerback had a good game. Give the guy the credit he deserves. He plays on a mediocre team where he draws double coverage and doesnt have an ego like T.O. or Ocho Cinco.

Seven years? Wow, talk about being under the radar. Man’s a stud and deserves all the praise he’s received. If he keeps it up he hopefully will not have to wait as long as Monk did. Congrats, even though its an award from a dang website. Lets see how much weight a PFT award carries.
