I currently have him listed as my #5 QB. I like what the Bears have done this offseason. They finally went out and landed an elite WR in Brandon Marshall and followed that up by drafting Alshon Jeffery out of South Carolina. This allows Hester to be more of a playmaker instead of a #1 WR. If the Oline can hold up Cutler is set to put up some bi...

Chicago Bears veteran on the hot seat: Devin Hester

That's part of the fun of having Hester on the team, he's a threat to score a touchdown...

Their 11-5 2010 record was not fully indicative of how they played. They had a Pythagorean Expectation of just 9.4 wins and that was in spite of the fact that their 11 wins were against a 6...
