    Devin Hester or Josh Cribbs

    Alright, it's late in the game and you need a huge play from your kickoff/punt returner. Who would you rather see have the ball, Devin Hester or Josh Cribbs?

    I'd rather have Dante Hall rather than either one of those guys.

    Hall has been relatively quiet this season dan. If you only the the choice between Hester or Cribbs who would you take?

    He's been hurt ILL. Never the less though, if I had to choose between those two choices. I'd have to go with Hester.

    I think Hall is pretty washed up at this point. He did not look good on the returns I saw yesterday. And, it's extremely rare for a player to maintain key return skills(a good burst) when he gets up in age.

    I'd take Hester because he is just so damn quick, but Cribbs is pretty scary as well.

    are u kidding me? how is this even a question. . . devin hester is the best returner in the history of the game .. . josh cribbs has a ton of talent and is fun to watch but come on. . . D hester is a once in a lifetime find. . .

    Devin Hester:

    Kickoffs: 23 Attempts for 23.8 average, 1 TD
    Punts: 28 Attempts for 15.9 average, 2 TD's

    Josh Cribbs:

    Kickoffs: 45 Attempts for 32.8 average, 2 TD's
    Punts: 16 Attempts for 11.2 average, 0 TD's


    I think a discussion is very warranted.

    im not taking anything at all away from J cribbs but hester is just too good . . . show me 9 td's in a season and a half and then we will talk. . . and lets not forget about a super bowl return for a TD!

    hester isn't getting that many TD's anymore because teams tend to kick it away from him. he's that good.

    Devin Hester. The guy is a phenomenal punt returner.

    I agree. I'm a Bears fan and I don't understand why he isn't more involved on their offense. Teams throw a quick wide-out all the time...who better to throw it to than Hester?
    If nothing else, he would open up the coverage to other receivers.

    You need Hester fresh for returning punts and kickoffs. It's not as easy as you think playing that position.
