Bears considering moving Hester to offense

I said it last year, make him the 3rd down running back. he can run draws, catch screen passes, and move out to WR in the slot and really move the defense around to our favor even if he doesn't touch the ball. He can be our 3rd rb, and we'd be set. This frees up space for another DB, and in a pinch, hester can still come in and play CB.

Pretty much agree with most of the stuff in this thread..
I think Hester would be a great guy to use some "trick" plays. I know he was originally drafted as a cornerback, but I think he does have some skills to play in some formation of the offense.
Wasn't he drafted as being a cornerback, but instead Lovie changed it around and put him in the special teams position?
I couldn't imagine going after a cornerback that has no coverage skills.

I couldn't see him as a running back personally unless he adds some muscle. Remember, part of being a running back is to pick up blitzes and make tackles, and I don't think Hester has the ability to do that just yet.

willie, you've been eating too much fire.
If you're going to choose your running backs based on their tackling ability,
you can no longer be our offensive co-ordinator.
Where did you get that defeatest attitude at anyway?
Telling our RB "get ready to make lots of tackles, we're gonna turn it over plenty."
