Here is how they compare:
MONK — 940 catches for 12,721 yards (13.5-yard average) and 68 TDs in 224 games. Three Pro Bowls.
REED — 951 catches for 13,198 yards (13.9-yard average) and 87 TDs plus 75 carries for 500 yards (6.7-yard average) and 1 TD. Seven Pro Bowls.
IRVIN — 750 catches for 11,904 yards (15.9-yard average) and 65 TDs plus 6 rushes for 6 yards. Five Pro Bowls.
so they go on to say that reed should wait till after art monk goes in and that mike irvin is a shoe in.
well i know michael irvin won those 3 superbowls and andre won none,but.............andre had 22 more touchdowns than mike,he had 1294 more yardsand he had 201 more catches.andre reeds catches from what i remember were always hard ones as well.i remember the 1st superbowl were reed was getting creamed in the middle on those catches,they were brutal.7 pro bowls to 5 pro bowls.i mean if it were baseball andre reed was the dominant player of his era.
now compare reed to art monk.........reed had 19 more touchdowns than art,he had477 more yards and 11 more catches and lastly 7 pro bowls to 3...
so why must andre wait behind the likes of michael irving and art monk?
