I agree, still waiting for the inevitable "he sucks" people to keep doubting him. He has become a consistent playmaker. Now we just need to get better blocking (and it has begun with Omiyale being benched, REJOICE :-)) and this offense has the talent to aide an injured D.

I'm not in the "Hester Sucks" camp, but I'm definitely not in the "Hester is underrated" camp either. Jay Cutler made some pretty unknown receivers look pretty good out in Denver.
I AM irritated that Jerry Angelo thought it was a good idea to convert a guy who was on pace to be the greatest return man in NFL history into a C+, #2 receiver at best.
He's like the NFL's answer to Matt Kemp. $10M body, 2 cent head. Hester is an incredibly fast athlete who happens to play wide receiver. But he's no wide receiver. His contract says he's a wide receiver, I understand that he plays there. But until I see him snag a fade pass and drag two feet to catch a touchdown, he won't graduate to that status in my book. But I'm just a dude who watches games, my opinion doesn't mean a damn thing, and it's not going to influence Devin Hester's career one way or another. So I must drink.
Oh well. At least other receivers on the field haven't had to physically push and pull him into the right pre-snap position. That was last year. He IS getting better. But he's still got a long way to go.

All I can think of is Eddie Royal. I don't think anyone expected him to be half as good as he was last year.

I can careless about the overall because his speed and agility are crazy . I always trade for him using the Jets because hes so easy to get . What bothered me was his potential rating is B . . .

While Marshall was unknown, it was because he was a rookie.
It is highly likely that Marshall would have succeeded with any quarterback.

86 for Rice? That is absolutely insane. Are people forgetting the rating were scaled down a bit this year?

I don't understand what list this is????
Hester is ranked 21st in yards, 26th in tds and 22nd in receptions. His rating seems about right to me. maybe could go up to 79.
