I have high hopes for Jeffery too, but I continue to be impressed with BM's leadership. Like 1rkrage mentioned...so much for the head case...

He was being nice... Let us also remember he didn't invite Hester to train with him in the off season as well. There was a lot of last year that was just a fluke thanks to a non-existent OC.

Jeffery was light years ahead of Hester last year at WR

Too many parrot the 'yeah but he said that about hester' line. Alshon is a wr, Devin, no.

Alshon had two issues last season: injury and being too aggressive when creating separation. Devin had only one issue: he isn't a wr.

If alshon was able to get stronger under Marshall's guidance this year, that's great. Physically it seems the prof is in the pudding. If the Marshall stuff is just hype, he is still going to be an improved player at the position while Devin Hester will not, because Hester is not a dang wide receiver.

The difference being Jeffrey has the size the brains the physical skills and the training as a WR. Hester was a converted kick returner that had none of those things.

I think last year can be attributed to him being the new guy who was obviously so much better than anything the Bears had that had just had to pay lip service to not cause any waves.

Marshall is probably just being nice here but if Jeffery stays healthy, he has a good chance of having a great year.

I was just bringing up the Marshall comment from last year in conversation. I like both Marshall and Jeffery and believe that they are the best 1-2 WR punch for the Bears since Conway and Graham.

Jeffery has the potential to be great, if he continues working on his craft and working to get stronger and can stay healthy then the sky is the limit for him. Lets not forget that after his sophomore season he was considered a top 10 pick, then the mediocre junior season and weight issues popped up. But so far he's been tearing it up in camp and has looked great and has been catching TD passes like crazy.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
All indications from camp say that Jeffery has been a beast so far, not just from Marshall.

We'll just have to see how it plays out once the season starts. But it's better than hearing nothing about him.

I try to pay as little attention as possible during TC/preseason. 10 years ago I used to think that you could read a lot about how good a team would be by paying attention during this time. 5 years ago I used to think you could maybe watch some position drills and see who is doing well. Now I feel that it is all fluff. I don't care how bad Peanut looks wk 3 pre-season. I only care about injuries that will have lasting consequences on the season. I'm not saying TC and pre-season arent important to the teams themselves. It just is an extremely poor indicator of future performance.

If it was just Marshall making this noise, I'd be more inclined to believe it was just him talking up a friend/fellow WR/teammate.
But that doesn't seem to be the case. It's been noted by several players and coaches.

The difference between the 2 is laughable, Alshon is a actual wr
