Hester no longer returning kicks

Devin Hester isn't going to be returning kicks any longer (kicks) so he can concentrate on WR. How do you think that's going to turn out? He had 51 catches, 650 yards+, 3 TD's in his first season at WR with Orton. I expect him to do better with Cutler.

big mistake -- stick with what you do best. coulda been the next Mel Gray

 

[getyappcrnredy24]

He was starting to be mentioned as one of the best KRs of all time. Why stop?
Special Teams is important too..

 

[Gtown81]

what an idiot, he's not even that good at WR

 

[yezzir]

wait what???? this makes no sense

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

He didn't return kicks last year...

Danieal Manning also led the league in kickoff return average...

Devin Hester isn't a good wr. Stick to your kick returns. Your not good. I mean he's fast but his weight is bad. Check out Randy Moss : 210lbs, Larry Fitzgerald : 217lbs same with Anquan Boldin, and Terrell Owens : 224lbs. This kid will get smacked by a dline if they could catch him. Bears should sit him out this season and train him. Or just let him comeback on special teams.

all i have to say to that is: Steve Smith

I'm glad you bought that up. Steve Smith is a elite wr compared to Hester. Compare stats.

He meant Steve Smith came into the league as a KR and converted to a WR...

Also, jarrod, Manning was the main KR last year, Hester was pulled from that role about halfway through the year...

 

[elcheato]

Well Hester had okay stats last year, it was his first time as a full time WR, I think? Anyway, he's only going to get better.

 

[Gtown81]

you can't compare Hester with Smith and say Hester is the next Smith

 

[JUNX]

Exactly Gtown. Smith is way better.

 

[Albino]

He would be most dangerous returning kicks and being a 3rd down WR. Just imagine how many plays they could run on 3rd down with him there, the defense would have to respect his speed which could lead to others producing big plays or simple dump offs to him can turn into large chunks of yards.

Why not? You act like Hester flat out sucks at WR, when really, he wasn't that bad last year and this year he actually has a really QB throwing to him...

I'm not saying he will be as good as Smith, but you are hating.

Yeah your right he's not that bad, but he's no more than a 2nd or 3rd string WR

 

[footballplaya52]

they ruined hester when they put him at WR, they should have kept him at CB and let him train at that. he wanted to be like deion.

Nailed it right here. The Bears are trying to make him something he is not...

Hester was terrible at CB.
