He was the Mickey Mantle of the NFL.....all the talent in the world.....but denied the pinnacle of the record books due to devastating knee injuries....much the same could said for Joe Namath.

I actually used the official NFL record book, but thanks ... lol

Little known fact.....Devin Hester stores jet fuel in his asshole and can ignite it by thinking of Michael Vick doing pull-ups in a jail cell while simutaneously being sodomized by a large gentlemen named Tyrone.

Devin Hester is a great athlete, yet people are taking it out of proportion.

Teams still kick to him because of his fumble risk. He's put the ball on the ground 14 times and he's just in his second year. Compare that to Dante Hall, who is now in his 8th year has only fumbled 18 times. Hester is the typical high risk, high reward player. Luckily he's only lost 3 of those fumbles, but you still give your team another chance to get the ball back.

Also, playing as a return man is a far different thing to do than playing in offensive schemes. People think because he's so great returning that he should be this amazing receiver. He's got great vision and patience which is what makes him a great threat as a returner because the field is spread out for him on returns. That doesn't happen in offensive sets. Plus he's already a liability with his hands, that's strike one for a receiver. He's caught 8 passes this year for about 140 yards. One was an 80+ yard catch, that leaves 7 catches for about 60 yards. Not a great average for a receiver. They've also tried getting him involved in running plays with a reverse, screen, or catch and run, but those have added up into a net loss as well. There's the big play possibility there, but you can't risk it as often on offense which is why he's there 10-12 plays a game.

Plus he's not that big. He'd get pounded going across the middle, that is if a QB ever saw him going across the middle. And set him up out wide, he'll get shoved right off his route in the first 5 yards. Plus now he'll be out there against first team defensive backs and linebackers who have a bit more talent and athleticism than those playing special teams. It'll be harder for him to create seperation.

He's still a great fit to the Bears and their specials teams, and one of the most exciting players to watch. There's just many more important impact players out there in football.

Did nobody read this?

It's comedic levels and imagery are unmatched for fuck's sake.

I thought it was about as funny as a pile of rocks.

If that pile of rocks was in the shape of Devin Hester taking a shit on you it would be pretty funny.

Why must you ruin this thread?

Clearly we don't get along. This thread has run its course. I mean, what more can be said of a return man? I'm sure more people were entertained by my comments than were entertained by your "pile of rocks" comment.

Who's ruining the thread here?

Let's not communicate with each other until the end of eternity since you obviously hate me for no apparent reason.

Dude, the thing is your shit is not funny.

To you.............I'm fine with that because you don't particularly impress me. In fact, I had never noticed you until you started caling me out. But keep flexing those innernuts. I always enjoy that.

cory's back ...
