"In Devin Hester's absence from the offense over the last three games, it has become very apparent the Bears are better when Hester treats special teams like a wife and the offense like a mistress.

There has been talk of Hester returning to a starting job and a prominent role on offense.

Bears fans should hope it is just talk.

Hester can be effective as a supplementary offensive player who plays in the slot in multiple-receiver packages, but the offense is better served with Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett on the field as much as possible, and with Roy Williams getting a fair share of snaps.

And the entire team is better served with Hester conserving his energy for the return game."
