    Devin Hester is an example of an overrated returner. Most of his tds he is not even touched and he runs a straight line receiving outstanding blocking.He is not as fast as advertised either. Pacman was the best returner as far as elusiveness I have ever seen. Mariani might not be the fastest or the most elusive but he is consistent, rarely fumbles, and despite your claim he does have good vision and acceleration.

    Devin Hester ran a 4.27 40 at his pro day, and his worst time recorded at the Combine was a 4.41 which is still considerably faster than a lot of return men. I still don't understand how anyone can call him overrated when he's breaking records and making an impact on offense at the same time. He could even play DB!

    I agree Pacman was as elusive as it gets, reminded me a lot of Dante Hall. What could have been with him had he stayed out of trouble.

    And Mariani got laid out Chris Henry style by the Kicker of the opposing team, not sure how that classifies as good vision.

    Because if you watch that play, he was following the lane his blockers gave him and the kicker slid between two blockers. As a returner you follow the lane and have faith the blockers are going to pick up the incoming guys, not let through to blindside you.

    Sounds like somebody should have blocked the kicker to me.

    So what? He can't make even one guy miss?


    He's a soft return man with no special traits. Neil Rackers doesn't hit that hard, trust me.

    So I just went back and watched the video. There was no way anybody could have seen Rackers coming. There was an entire wall of blockers in front of Mariani right there, and none of them blocked Rackers.

    exactly what I posted... but the sure thing is not going to listen to anything anyone else says about Mariani.
