Daily Dose: May 26 - I miss Devin Hester

This from SI.com once again illustrates how the Chicago Bears and Lovie Smith ruined one of the greatest gifts in NFL history

"Think of Hester in his first two years in the NFL: 173 touches, 12 touchdowns. He was the most dangerous weapon in the NFL over the 2006 and 2007 seasons."

The Bears decided that this asset was expendable, and decided to make him into a mediocre receiver. And shame on Hester (and his agents), too. They concluded that the Bears were right - he would never get a big payday without converting to a true wide receiver.

That is untrue. Let's say Devin would have scored another 6 TDs last year doing what he did best in 2006-2007 - that would have given him 17 TDs in three seasons as a kick returner. He would've cemented his status as the G.O.A.T. at returning kicks.

The Hall of Fame would be a formality. He had the cool nickname (Windy City Flyer) - he would've gotten paid. The best players always do. Sure, he probably would have had to leave Chicago, but he would've gotten the paycheck.

Now, he's just a 55-catch receiver - just like John Carlson, Davone Bess, Greg Olsen, Bobby Wade and Donnie Avery.
