Is he the best return man ever? I was sitting here watching that play and he field that punt over his head and drops it. I turn to my wife and say bet he still returns this for a TD.

Yes. I remember when some were comparing Hester and Cribbs a couple years ago. LOL

For that year, and maybe a 2 year span, Cribbs was better and had better numbers.

But Hester is easily the best return man ever. I fail to see why its even a question.

Well that's because a couple years ago they were returning the same amount of TDs...hence, the comparisons at that point were made.

yeah, Cribbs is good, but Hester is the best. I mean, every few years there is a guy...like Dante Hall...but none of them have the staying power of hester

Point taken but even then I thought the comparisons were unwarranted.

I just think that Hester has more of a "wow" factor because of his shiftiness. Cribbs was one cut and go....and he was the best in the business for a couple years as the numbers show.

Also, I can still remember one Dante Hall return where he made like 8 or 9 guys miss and there was about 7 uncalled holdings...it was the best return that I can ever remember
