Reply With QuoteIMO, Elway and Sanders are locks. I think Guy and Tasker may be held out because of their positions but there are great cases to be made for a lot of these players. Should be a good class.

Every Year they keep Art Monk out of the HOF is a travesty.
on this Zak....we agree. dude should have been first ballot.
Art Monk will be in. The problem is, he broke Steve Largent's record, but only held it a short time, because Rice demolished his record. Monk was one of the best possession receivers of all time, you could bank on him making that 3rd down catch almost every time. The problem was, he was so quite(like TD) that he went un-noticed while he was doing his job so often, that he did not get the publicity.
If Tasker makes it, I'm banning the HOF - that dude used to annoy the crap out of me.
