Hillis never made the kind of big, game changing type plays that Hester made.


You mean like scampering 50 on a pass in 2006?



How many other plays can I name from 06 and 07...

Hester made big plays in the 07 SEC and BCS championships as well as singlehandedly willing LSu to victory against Florida that year. Nevermind the slew of other huge plays he made that season.

Hillis was sitting behind D-MAC and Feliz Jones... That was expected.

Hillis is the more talented player, without a doubt. And that's not hinting at Hester being a bad player.

Ikeem Means won a National Championship. Does that make him better than Eric Berry?

That's great and all but you can't really say person x was a as good or better college player than person y when the stats are that skewed in player y's favor. ESPECIALLY when you factor in how big Hester came up in crunch time.

Trying to say that Hillis was as good as Hester in college is just as absurd as trying to say Hester is as good as Hillis in the NFL.

That's very intellectually dishonest. Hester was an integral part of a national championship team. Hillis was 3rd string for a team that lost 5 games.

Hillis is/was probably more talented.

Hillis is definitely the better pro.

Hester was a 1000 yard rusher, the lead back, and a team leader on an SEC and National Championship team.

Hester was the better college back all day long and it isn't even close.

I don't know. Why don't you go ahead and the put them up against what Hester did in 2006-07 and see who has the more big, game changing plays.

Go ahead.

Please.

Shitty comparison. And it was in response to untouched from your boy. Flew over your head.

I still have nightmares of that TD. Hester was the man and I became a fan of his abilities that day. One hell of a player.

Hillis better learn to secure the rock or the NFL will mean Not For Long for him.
