The magnificent Devin Hester has done it again. With a punt return TD vs the Saints, Hester broke last season's record of return touchdowns with 6 this season. Is there any question that Hester is the best returner in NFL history?
I won't even get into how people shouldn't punt to him. That's a tired argument that is obvious by now. Instead I'd like to talk about Hester in comparison to our own version in Ted Ginn Jr. When we drafted Ginn last April, a lot of Dolphins fans compared him to Hester and went out on a limb and said Ginn was better.
I spent a lot of time on forums, particularly Finheaven, and there were countless arguments as to how Ginn was clearly better than Hester, despite having never played an NFL snap. Ginn supposedly did better in college against "superior" competition. His receiving skills were legendary. His straight line speed was better than Hester. There was even discussion into how Ginn's long strides were preferable to Hester's road-runner like running style.
The result? Hester is head and shoulders better than Ginn. Heck he might even be a better receiver at this point. Ginn hasn't done anything at all in the deep passing game this season and looks tentative 9 times out of 10 when returning kicks. That's not to say he's a bust or won't do anything, but it goes to prove my point that many of our fans are delusional homers who come up with ridiculous ways of defending decisions they agree with.

ginn licks donkey balls. hester has elephant sac.
who ever said that Ginn was gonna be better than Hester obviously hasn't watched Devin play. Seriously...you think that Ginn is gonna get seven special teams touchdowns in the NFL?? You people need to do your research and watch an NFL game.
