Hester and Marshall

it took some effort but I found the whole show. the part about Pacman Jones saying he was a better returner than Hester was seriously comic gold.

I might be watching this more.

devin has been on a bit of a smear campaign against jay the last few years

it seems like a part of him blames cutler for his failure as a wide receiver

he was on that one show where they're shooting pool and he said the same thing then. I could've sworn they had him on strictly kickoffs then but Jeffery got hurt early in 2012 so someone would've needed to be there to replace him. honestly I blocked that entire period out of my mind, I don't really remember the sequence of events anymore, but Trestman definitely took him off WR. that I can vaguely remember. I liked the part where Marshall's like "why don't you talk to Jay?" and then in the next sentence is like "I don't follow him on Instagram" LOL I watched the Revis one, it's a funny show. like wrestling I get more out of the stories on podcasts than the actual product now I think.

Maybe it was the times before Marshall when Hester wouldn't stick is freakin arms out to catch a ball that taught Cutler to not look at him.
I wouldn't have trusted Hester with the way he started WR.

Honestly even when he was drafted I thought he should play RB

I would hope jay and others would try to coach him up to at least make him a go/ slot threat too much he could have done.

Hester is football stupid. I'll say it, that's why he couldn't run routes and be used as anything other than a one trick pony. He was a phenomenal returner because he didn't have to think, run behind your blocks.

I'm not defending Jay and I have a ton of respect for Hester. Also I wasn't there and don't know what happened in the locker room, but Jay had a thing that if you weren't doing what you were supposed to do, weren't where you were supposed to be, or if you dropped the rock when he needed you, he kinda gave up on you. Remember some of those years Cutler was getting beat-up pretty bad, so if you didn't deliver when he threw you the rock or weren't there when he needed you, he probably was pretty angry about it. A QB has to feel like he can count on you. Which is one of the reasons he liked Earl Bennett so much; not only did he have the rapport from college, but Earl got open and was a technician with his routes. Earl's main problem was he couldn't stay healthy.

I confess that I've personally experienced that loss of confidence from a QB because I could get open like a mofo (especially deep), but I dropped the ball too many times.

It's not like he went on and had killer years as a receiver anywhere else:
2014 Atlanta 38 catches for 504 yards
2015 Atlanta 0 catches for 0 yards
2016 Baltimore 0 catches for 0 yards
2016 Seattle 0 catches for 0 yards

Remember Hester was a listed as a returner, WR, and CB in college- which to me basically means he was so fast and electric with the ball in his hands but maybe didn't have the exact positions nailed down outside of return-guy.

Again, I mean no disrespect to Hester; I believe he belongs in the Hall of Fame. But as a receiver? No, he wouldn't even start for most teams.
