Reggie Bush Vs Devin Hester 

Post#1 » by House » Thu Aug 2, 2007 7:47 pm

Now that Hester is a WR, who will be the bigger playmaker? Hester won by a landslide last year imo.

Bush. Can play RB or WR and will receive many more chances than Hester at least within the offense. Bush was also returning kicks for them although it's clear that Hester has him there.

Let's see how Hester does during the season as a WR/returning kicks before we compare him to Bush.

I am still not sold on Hester yet. He did make some stupid choices when catching punts last season.

I still like him though.

Bush sucked for 3/4ths of the year last season rushing wise, but he still was a decent reciever. 88 for 742 yards are some good numbers. I think he's poised for a big year.

Hester has the potential to do some big things, but I'm going to wait before I say he can be a bigger playmaker then Bush.

Lets just say if Hester is even close, that draft might go down as the best ever.

I wonder if Rex can get him the ball.

Reggie Bush.

Even with this exceptional showing in camp, I still have concerns about Hester as a wide receiver in this league.

Ok pretty much everyone is saying Bush. So what is Hester's upside at receiver then? Has anyone been to camp? How do his routes look? Does he seem to understand the offense? Can he block?

I've heard he has been catching everything, and has explosive moves after the catch.

I don't think he's going to be a type of reciever that we put in their to block on downs because we wanted to keep him fresh for special teams. Although, he is most defintetly going to be used in trick plays. Anytime the other team sees him on the field they'll key him, only to have Benson shove it down their throat(This was actually his favorite offensive play.)

I don't really think anyone can match Hester as a return man, but as far as overall offensive production, my vote goes to Bush until Hester gives me reason to think otherwise.

I don't get to see the preseason game here in Indy this sucks. How much PT do you guys think Hester is going to get?

Bush.

I expect Hester to get few blocking assignments...he's better used drawing defenders away from the play than trying to knock them down.

I think we'll see Hester return kicks in the first quarter and play WR in the second, maybe even some in the third. That's about it.

Hester will be used sparingly on offense. I think his ceiling there is pro-bowl caliber, but not this year.

Does anyone think that Hester is better yet?
