frommd Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Personally, I don't think Peter King is worthy of a regular column, much less being on the Hall of Fame committee. His margins are suspect, and his word count is not up to the level of some other writers. Also, I don't remember anyone ever saying they were interested in getting Sports Illustrated to read his rants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Peter king said Green is borderline on sporting news radio last yr Wow. This guy can't be serious. How do you get HOF voters fired? It's obvious this "writer" has an extreme bias aganist Redskins players if he thinks Darrell Green is borderline. I've NEVER heard ANYONE say D.Green doesn't deserve to get in, that goes for the rival fans of our division. Even the really idiotic ones respect Green. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Green was only a good corner for a few seasons, and even then he wasn't a shut-down corner like Sanders or Woodsen. Rarely did offenses scheme around him like they did those other guys. He only averaged a little over 2 INTs a season and he wasn't much of a tackler. Sure, he played a long time and he's a good guy, but it's not the Hall of Good Guys, it's the Hall of Fame. I seriously doubt he has a chance. I appreciate the effort and I know it's a joke but I still can't help commenting. **** you Peter King, nobody threw to Green's side of the field for damn near 15 years.

BrunellSuperbowl Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 This is Monk thing is the craziest thing ever. First of all he never had a great QB. And Monk still put up elite stats. Imagine if he was alone on the Redskins with say a Joe Montana or Marino. He might have broken all the records besides yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I just did my best Peter King impersonation. If someone can fabricate a reason to keep Monk out he can do it for Green too. I wouldn't put it past any of them. I knew something was up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 So here we are now, assuming, rightly, that Green's a shoo-in. Well, five years is a long time, time enough for guys like King to plant the seeds of doubt. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Green got snubbed as well. Agreed, however they can get away with doing that to Art Monk, although they shouldn't be able to, but they try that crap with DG and the national sports media will be up in arms. Guys like, Shannon Sharp, Michael Irving, Steve Young, Howie, Jimmy and Terry, will be ripping those guys a new ass on live TV. DG getting snubbed is sure to make news and upset quite a few people not in the DC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Green is overrated. He only accomplished what he did because of how long he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neophyte Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 It will be the INTs that get him if they shaft him. The arguement will be that to have played as long as he played he should be the career INT leader for the league. That and the only reason he was so good was because he was so fast. That his speed made up for a lack of coverage skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That his speed made up for a lack of coverage skill. I think even idiots like Peter King wouldn't dare say that last line. Everyone knows Darrell Green was among the best cover corners ever. Yet the "INT" argument could be put into use. Green rarely ever had a season where he caught alot of INTs, he would rather deflect the pass than take the chance of getting burnt by going for the pick.

DieselPwr44 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I was doing something stupid today: listening to Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio. The subjet of Irvin to the HoF came up and Colin started railing on Monk,with the same old King argument. He's a complier due to the length of his career and no one ever went into a game thinking they had to worry about Monk. I tried to call in to defend Monk but my cell had no signal. I kept waiting for Redskins Nation to chime in but no one did. Do these people even watch games/know their history?? IMO...NO. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Skins_Fan Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I've said this before and I will say it again...Darrell Green doesn't have a lot of INTs because for years, nobody would even think to throw in his direction. He covered the best receiver on every team for years and years...to say that he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame is ridiculous. He is without doubt, THE BEST COVER CORNER TO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR PAY. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1SkinsFan Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Darrell Green Career Stats 279 total games played Total Tackles: 1295 (978 solo, 317 assissted) Interception Total: 54 INTS, 631 yards, 11.7 avg., 6 TD's Sack Total: 1 played in pro bowl: 1984, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1996, and 1997 seasons He also shares the NFL postseason record for most punt returns for touchdowns with 1, vs. Chicago on January 10, 1988 in the divisional round.

I remember several years ago i read that Randy Moss Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice all said Darryl Green was the best db they ever went against Green was a "shutdown" corner bafore that phrase was so overused.

Monkart Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have a dreadful feeling that they will do something to keep him out. We all thought Monk was first ballot.I have said it a million times. There is no way that the only player from Joe Gibbs era version 1.0 is Riggins. No Hogs in the HOF. What a joke!!! Dude!

Now someone tell me this man doesnt deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? What some people use to further the 'Monk-shouldn't-be-in' myth is that he only made 3 Pro-Bowls. As you've pointed out, Green played in 7. I think that is one of the things that will prevent these fools from keeping him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
