Redskins Heroes

I was quite pleased with the results of the voting for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Two of my favorite Redskins from my youth were elected.
Art Monk probably didn't deserve to get in ahead of Cris Carter, but he should have been in years ago. The Pro Football Hall of Game is the most inclusive of all the Halls of Fame which is why it surprised me that it took Monk so long to get in.
When Monk retired he was the all-time leader in catches. It seems to me that anyone who is the all-time leader in a key stat for his position, regardless of rule changes and strategy changes subsequent to his playing career that made his numbers seem less impressive, deserves to get in.




Darrell Green was a much easier decision for the voters. Clearly he was one of the best defensive backs of his time. But the little man with the big speed probably was born at the right time because in today's game with bigger receivers he might not have been as great.
