It's true. Michael Irvin would not ever get into the Hall if he didn't play for the Cowboys, and was the flashy, shyt-talking "playmaker" everyone knows and loves. Tim Brown and Cris Carter are still waiting to make it into the Hall. Irvin going 1st ballot and those two still waiting is an absolute travesty.
Cris Carter: 1101 catches, 13899 yards, 130 TDs
Tim Brown: 1204 catches, 14934 yards, 100 TDs
Michael Irvin: 750 catches, 11904 yards, 65 TDs
Dude only has 65 career TDs and goes 1st ballot...unbelievable. He never had more than 10 TDs in one season.
If Michael Irvin played for the Cardinals or the Bengals nobody would give a fukk about him. Isaac Bruce was having 100 catch, 1500 yard, 15 TD seasons on the low on the Rams with bums like Tony Banks throwing to him and he might not get in the Hall. He is criminally underrated. Jimmy Smith is another one.
