[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 473352, member: 5830"] You have to compare players in their prime to really do any kind of a comparison. Hester is past his prime as a returner, but he will go down as the greatest ever. Harvin and Cobb are good returners and definitely have value at WR, but neither has reached their prime potentials yet and I don't see anything in their return games that makes me think they will ever touch Hester. Hester was phenomenal. Not taking anything away from Cobb and Harvin, they will make their marks too but not likely unseat the best returner ever. As for receiving skills, I would already give the nod to Cobb. He has a real knack for picking his way through the defense. The only thing that makes it hard to compare Cobb to Harvin at WR is that Harvin is the #1 receiver on the Vikings, generally drawing the top CBs. Cobb still has Jennings, Nelson, and Finley all commanding equal or greater attention from defenses, so it's hard to compare production side-by-side. [/QUOTE]
