No Rex in this post or any other post until something changes. Smarten up, Grossman. Play better. By the way, Lovie saying "We're 10-2 with Rex as our quarterback" is like my little league manager saying "We've won a lot of games even though Jeff's ERA is somewhere in the 30s."
The Bears call him HE GONE. We call him Devin Hester and he's the most exciting player on this or any other team around. He's got 35 returns for 497 yards and 4 touchdowns (including the field goal return). Let's look at his four touchdowns:
Up 19-0 at Lambeau, Devin rubbed it in with a beautiful 84 yard punt return.
The Desert Miracle was complete when Devin returned a punt 83 yards with under 3 minutes to go.
The Giants were already in too deep when He Gone drowned them with a field goal return to ice the game.
With the offense incapable of moving a piano, the DH put the team on his shoulders and the Bears on the board.
He took over the kick returns from Rash this week and made an immediate impact, increasing the kick return average by more than five yards. He's my rookie of the year. He may also be Jerry Angelo's finest and gutsiest draft pick. Ladies and gentlemen, the second BLOG GAME BALL is presented to #23 Devin Hester.
#2 big rob said . . .I am following my heart here, but I am just sad Rashied isnt gonna be returning kicks. Hes basically the number 4 receiver behind Moose, Berrian, and Bradley. Not to mention Clark.
Sad. . .

#5 Fred said . . .You wanna see "he gone"?? Holy shit, this highlight reel from his college days is just sick:

#6 jeff said . . .The best thing about Hester is that he's gonna be a Bear for a long long time. The potential is there to be the next Dion Sanders. He can't be tackled and he can't be caught.

#9 Adam said . . .if our defense can cause some three and outs early in the playoffs, HE GONE will give Rex the field position to slow the game down.

#10 Coxy said . . .I love Hester, but he doesn't play enough to make ROTY. Look at Haloti Ngata's impact on the Ravens this year for defense and Marques Colston's for offense.

#11 jeff said . . .Could Anderson be considered for rookie of the year as well?

#12 tera said . . .anderson, ngata and demeco ryans are going head-to-head for defense...colston is winning offense....
but hester's position is so unique...it's individual....his impact is sorta incomparable

I'm all for Rex as a human, but as far as football, this is how the REAL fans feel:

Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
