Dante is more quick than he is fast.

Definition of fast is Devin Hester.

I don't know about that...Dante was amazing in 2003...he had 4, but could've easily had 8...got pretty close SEVERAL times.

Now that is stupid. Not being able to pick up a college offense.

The Bears got reamed for taking him in Round 2, but it's looking pretty good now.

yeah, I think Dante only had 4.38 speed...he was just the most agile guy with amazing acceleration...

I don't think you get accolades for "almost" last time I checked.

Hester just "did it."

I think talking to me has cursed him. Ever since I met him about a year ago, he has sucked. Back then he was still the Human Joystick; now he's the Human Dipstick.

Mecca · 12-11-2006, 10:40 PM

I think in a straight up comparison Hester is more naturally talented and a little better at it.....he's obviously faster. Hall jukes around and tries to make 52 people miss, Hester takes 1 step and he's gone.

BigRock · 12-11-2006, 10:41 PM

How many of Hester's returns won the game for his team? How many of Dante's returns in 2003 won the game for his team?

Ok...

Should we look at average, then?!

Christ...

We can bash Dante for sucking now...but he was INCREDIBLE in 2003...even returning one in the playoffs.

So suck a big dick, brotha.

Dante had 5, IMO...remember the playoffs. He also would have had 6 if not for Stills forgetting to throw a block against Cleveland. He got tackled by a friggin kicker in the open field against Green Bay.

I would never discount what Dante did in '03.

Here's what bothers me though: Even with Dante's great blocking, he never had holes like this guy does. He never even gets touched. Combine that with his freakish speed, and there's nothing you can do.

For them it was a great pick, when you're a good team you can do that, I think everyone knew this guy was the real deal as a returner, but he can't do anything else.

Well they would have lost to Arizona without Hester.......take into account Hester is a rookie, it took Dante a couple years to become that kind of returner.

Devin Hester is amazing, but as a whole their special teams are excellent though.

How many times have they had to?
The Bears D actually stops teams, so they don't necessarily need the big play that we did in those years.
