Okay, Carter is a "holier-than-thou loudmouth", whereas Michael Irvin is simply a dumbass with a loud mouth. :lol:

It's not about the cocaine in Carter's case. It's about the BS argument that Tim Brown and Andre Reed have similar stats and that Carter is not a step above them in the eyes of clueless voters.

Well, I don't see Marshall ever getting in even though he more than deserves it. Chris carter is snubbed because of his mouth. He will eventually get in around 5 years I think, Eventually, there won't be a WR to match his stats, hands and his deserving. :wallbang: .

I think you're exactly right about both of them. Carter even annoyed me when he was playing for the Vikings, despite being one of the best ever.

I watched both of them play. Not trying to insult Monk, but he doesn't compare to Cris Carter. It's not just the number of catches and yards, it's how he made them. No one (even Jerry Rice) had better hands than Cris Carter. I do not agree that it "is no surprise" he is not in, and I also believe it is a travesty he is not in. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!
Perfectly stated. I cant even add to it.
