You know everyone thinks Devin Hester is awesome which he is but on plenty of his returns he seriously never even gets touched.

I don't necessarily disagree. But you have to have someone that can return the football, too. I'm not willing to say that Priefer is horrible until I believe that blocking is the problem more than returning. I'd say that there's a good chance that a good returner will help the return teams a lot.
Based on the improved performance of the coverage units, I'm willing to give Priefer the opportunity show improvement in the return game if given a reliable returner. Considering that skill players can be vital to special teams, I don't see how he can be judged to be a bust when he's had very little to work with when it comes to a kicker and a return specialist.
