I think, at this point, you can call him a failure,and the Bears (I think Frazod would agree) are better with him sticking to being a returner. The other WR, Rashied Davis, is also a failure.

In hindsight, maybe they should have kept Berrian, but I think Minnesota overpayed by a lot for him, so I don't fault them for that.

Steve Smith was nothing more than a return man his first few years...give Hester another year or two...but yeah, I doubt he ever turns into Steve Smith...but they were really similar when Steve Smith was starting out.
