Who else has a feeling that Hester is going to have a renaissance?

Kids these days have smart phones dont they??? Why dont you get a video of the game you recorded on your phone and then post it up here? I mean another person came in and agreed with me that Hester misread his blocking, so you arent seeing something right.

Remember when I said I didn't care enough at 10 pm on a Monday night to prove you wrong? If you want to prove me wrong, or attempt to I guess, then post the video yourself. Not to mention, he also said Hester "may not have". I'm not going to let that opinion from one poster change my thoughts on what I saw (although I respect his opinion and thank him for his post).

With that, I'm going to bed. I'll continue this tomorrow if you feel the need.

Because I have a different opinion that yours? That's the most asinine thing I've ever heard.

He IS and WAS the best ever, as they have two different contexts.

And what language in his contract says, he will get offensive snaps or he has too... Not likely existent in any football contract. He was given potential bonuses based on quality wr play.. Not guarantees of any kind.

Pretend this...
You are an agent of a cornerback, who was drafted only for his return skills, and he, in two years, becomes famous for his returns.

Stick with me now, YOU ARE HIS AGENT. And now his team wants to use him on offense. So, you ask for a new contract, but this new contract has performance based clauses.
Wouldn't you, as his agent, make sure said contract also had clauses the guaranteed opportunities to earn those performance based bonuses, and didn't allow the team to just use him as a returner, a once in a while offensive threat, and play him at CB, where he has no performance bonus coming?

Idk given his current situation on the team strictly as a returner, where he is at in his career, and that one return where he squeaked through a small sliver, I started imagining more returns in the future. Maybe this year he solidifies himself as a HOFer?

I could pretend it... But I would rather talk about reality here. And beyond the slight historical quirks to how it went down.. Such as Hester already being worked as a wr and not at all at corner his 2nd year which was prior to that deal.

If it were possible to "guarantee opportunities" why hasn't this detail been brought up by anybody, Or simply why hasn't any other player had this issue come up... probably because it doesn't exist! Why would that fit in to any thoughts you had on a contract, has any topic ever talked about guaranteeing a player anything but bonus money from a contract? Any GM would be setting a new low if they guaranteed playing to a player in the contract.

Total cop out. "nobody has talked about it so it must not exist". Because of course the fine print in player contracts is just there for you to read.

So, since you are so sure I am wrong, tell me when you read the entirety of Hesters, or any others contract???
Or shut the fuck up.

Learn the concept of reality and burden of proof. You pulled up some concept nobody speaks about on sports as if Hester.. Of all people.. Could potentially have this.

And why would teams do it. Nothing but money bonuses in NFL contracts are guaranteed to players. That's a well known reality about them. Yet you act defensive because your absurd.

And you've proven a great deal of stupidity on your part.

NFL contracts do not guarantee any playing time/position slot. The owners have the upper hand and have no reason to ever add something that dumb on the team side.

I don't think Hester has a shot for the HOF even though he was a great punt returner. Last year Hester was completely different...almost timid on his returns. Perhaps he's shying away from contact now. I don't think Hester will ever regain the recklessness he had.

Rory Sparrow said:

I think Hester's "career" punt return numbers are kind of skewed, because the best returners in NFL history usually move on to a more productive full-time role pretty quickly. Hester is unique in that he's last so long as a punt return guy. I think it would be wrong to put Hester in the HOF ahead of someone like Tim Brown, who was a great return man in his own right, but was also one of the best WRs in NFL history.
