Totally agree on everything you said in this post. And just as a reminder of how theses douches totally underrate Hester, do you remember when his contract was up and they were saying on here that we should offer Hester league minimum if anything? And they were saying there is no way that any other team would pay him more than that, and of course within a day or two he landed a 3-4 million a year multiyear contract? That just shows right there how much he is under appreciated by some on here.
Of course he isn't the number one receiver the Bears tried to make him. But in Atlanta his role is 3 or 4 right, so what was so bad about his year in Atlanta anyway? He did have 504 yards receiving PIB, so you were wrong on that stat that you quoted that he has not had 500 yards since 2009. Of course he had more yards in a couple of seasons with the Bears, like 700 yds, but they threw to him 57 times, only 38 last year.
Hester won more games for the Bears than anybody currently on the team, that is for sure. Why him and Urlacher get so much shit on here is beyond comprehension.
