So the Bears are going to move Hester to offense next season. Am I the only person thinking this isn’t going to end up being the offensive changing, gamebreaking move that the Bears coaching staff seems to think it will be?

Maybe it’s just me but I’m having flashbacks of Dante Hall being put into the offense and then never really being heard from again - especially on the returns front.

Dante, meet Devin. Devin, meet Dante

But it could be all perception. Hall’s numbers actually haven’t seem to have suffered much since becoming a regular receiver (although never getting more than 40 catches and 423 yards in a season). BUt then again, Hall was an offensive player in college while Hester was more of a returner that didn’t fit in well at any position so was used more as a filler/jack of all trades type. What makes the Bears coaches think he will excel on offense at the Pro level when he didn’t stand out on offense at the College level?

Hester in two years at Miami: Totalled 40 yards on 5 rushes and 1 TD, 141 yards on 5 catches and 0 TDs. Doesn’t exactly make a pedigree that translates into offensive success at the Pro level.

Maybe our resident Bears fan has a take on this.
