you have been obsessing about Hester and the Hall of Fame since your first stroke. Why don't you calm down with a sponge bath from your male nurse?

Interesting to see the distribution of up/down votes in the comments. Lots of 16 year olds on that website that were still shitting their pants in 06,07.

When thousands weep more than did laugh at it

Once again, my prediction from 10 years ago will be vindicated

I like all the idiots trying to bring up stats and Brian Mitchell and Steve Tasker. Hester transcended all that bullshit. And everyone that watched football at the time knows it.

He might not be a first ballot HOFer, but he's getting in. And if you don't think he is, and you're talking about stats, then you're probably a fantasy football dumb shit and your opinion sucks and is stupid. Grats.

Hester changed the game. That's all you have to say.

he changed the game. teams had to plan around kicking off or punting and the ball not going to him. oh, and I know people now like to disagree with this assessment, the league literally changed special teams rules because he was too dominant of a game changer before they started making it about safety. some Snow White sweeping dust under the rug level shit.

Yep. List all the players that changed the game, and then tell me if they're in the HOF.

Pacman Jones said he was a better kick returner. he had 1 yard per return more than Hester. with probably significantly less attempts. they said kickers were more afraid to kick to Hester than quarterbacks were throwing in Pacman's direction. the end.

I agree and many don't stop and think that after only 2-3 years teams stopped kicking to him so in looking at his #'s think what they could have been if given the opportunity over more seasons.

I would ask this question of anyone who watched Devin Hester in his prime and for any significant number of games:

How many of the other Hall of Fame candidates on the ballot including those you intend to vote for impacted any single game as greatly as Devin Hester did when he was playing?

Anyone who watched Hester closely knows it was not simply a matter of the incredible number of touchdown returns but also the incredible number of long returns setting the Bears up in great position and also the underrated aspect of how many times the Bears started in excellent field position after a kick off because the other team kicked out of bounds or squib kicked to avoid Hester.

Many many times the Bears would start at the 30 or 35 because the other team did not want to kick to Devin. That’s huge.

I can’t see others on the Hall of Fame ballot who impacted the games any more greatly than Hester did.
