That's actually a hell of a lot more important than the occasional return TD. Think of it this way... You have a guy who will break one for a TD every 8th or 9th game, but in between he fumbles 7 of them leading to opponents TDs...OR a guy who never breaks one, but still gets decent yardage and never fumbles.. Who ya gonna go with? I'm going with the steady hand every time.why not try to find a returner that can secure the ball and flip the field.?
That said I still have some bizzare idea that they should put Andre Smith out there without his jersey with his manboobs flopping around rumbling downfield scaring the bejesus out of everyone so they'll just look away letting him score.. I kinda doubt its in the cards though..
why just be content with a guy who great hands but lacks explosion?
Devin Hester..Rick Upchurch....made their careers by being elite retuners
