I was the opposite. I want the Bears' to draft Leonard Pope with that pick, the big TE out of Georgia. Obviously, I was pissed about Hester. He didn't have a true position.
Like you, however, he was one of the most electrifying players to ever play in the NFL. He'll probably never make the Hall of Fame, but he was simply amazing in 2006 and 2007.
Now, though, he is horrible. He's not fast, he can't catch, makes stupid plays, doesn't seem to know the plays, and continuously runs backwards on kicks and punts. His game yesterday on KR might have been one of the worst I've ever seen from any player. The Bears made him a rich man. He made a lot of money from them and endorsements. If he retires, all the power to him, but if not, I really hope he's not a Bear in 2013.
