Punt Return Options

Everyone makes valid points. But all I'm saying is how many games did the Bears win last year because of Hester returning kicks for TD's. Cards game, 2 TD's in Rams game, 1 in Vikings game plus a couple of returns over 25 yds each in Bucs OT win. Without Hester's returns last year NFC Championship game could have been in the Dome. Field position is what opens up Payton's offense.

So very true but he wasn't an important part of their offense either. Reggie is far to important to our offense to even consider him getting hurt on treturns in my opinion.

agreed
if they put Reggie in as the return guy all they are doing is putting him at risk
I mean come on this is not Madden where you have a reset button this is real life and imagine if he were to get injured…
(Oh man I don’t even want to think about that)
that would be worse then us having a less productive return guy any day of the week
put anyone but him in to do that job
