I agree 100%, Hall was more of a "dance around people and do it all by himself" punt returner while hester is always going forward and likes to follow the blockers, I think the later of the two is much more effective

Devin Hester is a freak of nature. He should be outlawed like drugs.

I think you hit it. Hester sort of "flows" if you will, and he has great downfield vision!

Foul, I don't see my name on the list. Not even as an honorable mention.

Saden1, I'm working on my top 5 Warpathers as we speak....don't fret!

bridaman51 · 08-02-2007, 12:09 PM

I would be careful with that top 5...

Great writeup 12th. I'm not going to lie, I'm on the Hester band wagon.

Right before the Superbowl, I checked the prop bets on Bodog for the game, and they had one about which player would score the first touchdown. Hester was 30/1 and I seriously considered putting $20 on it for the eff of it, because I knew he could pull it off. But since I didn't know who was going to win the coin toss, I talked myself out of it and lost an easy $600...

Dude...damn!! But that's what made that return so amazing...it's like everybody in the stadium knows he's getting the ball. So I'm like maybe he'll get like a 10 or 15 yrd gain. Nope, this guy takes it all the way. Unbelievable.

Get him out of the pocket and he is no longer a threat.

Well this thread was pretty much dedicated to guys who can score from anywhere on the field once they have the ball in their hands. To me that pretty much exludes QBs, unless you're talking about Vince Young or Mike Vick, (formerly of the Falcolns
