Should still have some solid years left, I doubt he retires though.

But what else did Hester do outside of special teams to deserve a hall of fame spot? Nothing. Hester was purely a special teams teams player, therefore, he doesnt deserve to be in the hall. |
Special teams is an entire third of the game. It's ridiculous that there aren't any pure punters and only one kicker in the HoF. |
Because you have Offense, Defense and yes ST, it is a third of the game.
When you look at the # of plays in the game, and split them up offensively, defensively and ST wise, it isn't close to a third.
That is a big difference

Quit whinning like a baby. All this was is Hester voicing his displeasure with management and coming up with the bright idea how best to screw them over as they did Lovie in his opinion. Eventually common sense will prevail, he will talk with his Wife who will immediately say get the hell over it and get that money while you can. I'd be almost as surprised as I was when Barry Sanders retired early if indeed Hester follows through with this BS!

very well said. only reason he would come out and say what he did was most likely just for him to try and become somewhat relevant again..

He's said some stuff like this before, too; not as blatantly mind you but I'll believe it when I see it.
Not to sound like a jerk, but his time in Chicago is done anyway. Great memories but good riddance. I think it's kind of ironic how he defends the Bears management when they were most likely responsible for hyping him up as a receiver and not just let him return kicks like he should have been doing.
Ugh, talented wasted in Chicago. When is a new story going to develop here?

He's a return specialist. Absolutely not. |
He's arguably the greatest returner of all-time. He doesn't deserve the Hall of Fame at all because he's the best returner?
We have punters in the Hall of Fame, and their job is to give the ball away; why doesn't someone who can potentially score you a touchdown every chance he gets the ball get a chance at the Hall of Fame? |
Return TDs are widely overvalued in the grand scheme of things.
Did not play a Hall of Fame worthy role.

"Emotional Devin Hester says he is considering retiring from NFL."
Sounds like he's just upset about Lovie's firing. He'll likely come around. |
We need a KR, and some depth a WR... Plus we may get Love Smith, just saying |

He had 57 catches in 2009, but that's gone down each subsequent season, and he had 23 this season.

I hope he retires. Save the Bears the trouble of releasing him, which is surely going to happen. He became irrelevant the moment they changed the kick/return rules.
I like that he's pissed about the Bears not "showcasing" his "talent." Suuuuper surprising that they didn't want to shocase any more drops, incorrect routes, or falling down untouched in the middle of the field while the ball that would have hit him in the chest is picked off! |

he became irrelevant the moment they forced him to become an impact wide out....that was a terrible idea

Oh, they didn't force him. When they were trying to re-sign him after his initial success as a returner, he demanded a receiver contract. |

Actually no, he demanded a lot of well deserved money as the best returner in the game, and a game changer, the Bears creatively packaged that money so that he would earn a good chunk of change if he ever became a #1 WR, which he never did.
