2008- 51 catches for 665
2009- 57 for 757

Totally respectable as part of a pretty bad offense. Then as the Bears offense went from "normal-Bears-bad" to EPIC FAILURE AT EVERY POSITION

2010- 40 for 475
2011- 26 for 369
2012- 22 for 242



For some reason, Hester ( who never should have been the #1) suddenly became the focus of all blame even though nobody can tell me a single player who was good for the Bears on offense 2010-2012.

Yeah, he looked bad but so did Cutler, the entire oline and all the bench players, Forte, all the tight ends and every other receiver.


So, either, Hester CAN be a solid offensive contributor in the right situation OR every Bears offensive player was absolute trash because although he didn't play well in that time span, neither did anyone else.
