Thread: Hester: We love Jay because of his fire

Well to be fair, the Bears run tight ship and don't like public dessension, see DJ Moore. It's always been that way too, not just w/Lovie. If Hester wants to remain on the WR squad getting balls he had no way of saying anything else.

Also, I said this in the other thread, ther are some that probably do see him as a leader, and some that do not. His play, not his attitude will dicate how he's looked at each week. He needs more highs like Dallas, and his lows need to be like StL, not GB. When that happens he'll take less heat for dressing down players nationally then when he's in the midst of one of his worst games. Also last year even Brady got SOME heat for going after his OC, and he's the media golden boy so keep it in perspective, to some degree ever qb gets knocked for losing his cool.

Those that play with fire get burnt. Yeah I know, I need to grow up, but that does not mean this offense can't grow a little too.

I am an emotional person, I hang my head, sport a shitty attitude, and throw too many pity parties myself. It has yet to make any situation I've been in better. Personally I think the kool catz do better in the long run. Everyone is different. I have adopted it as part of my personality and I need to work on it.

If you want to be emotional, stay above ground. A pat on the back, enthusiasm, fist pumps,... great. But keep it real. My impression has always been that the better competitors don't dwell. They have short term memories that only has room for the good beats. Whatever the challenge they believe they can do it despite the odds. They also realize the difficulty, and don't go overboard with celebration. They enjoy the moment for what it is, and then challenge themselves to do better.

Of course just looking at this one aspect does not tell the story of a person/team on the whole. Things are not that easy, but it does play its part. I do think that the attitude the media is projecting of Cutler (supported by what I've seen) does play a part. I believe it might be one of the reasons the Bears need the lead @ halftime. Players that believe they are going to come back and win just don't look or act like that on the sidelines.

When a player really believes they will come back and win the game, they do not get upset until after the clock runs out.

To play devils advocate. How often do you ever hear a player rip a teammate in the media? It is always positive talk.

Soul, it's not minimizing it, you and I both know how HH, and Lovie is. Really think Hester could have, this year, gone on radio and said the team hates Cutler and remained a starter/boarderline starter? Really?

I don't think it would have been so much ignoring open DH, I don't think Lovie would have him on the field. But Dallas was the first in 3 games that Cutler looked for the open guy consistantly, so it's not hard to imagine him ignoring the 3rd or 4th read in general ;p.

It has nothing to do w/sensasionalism; again imo he can act like the biggest jag in the world as long as he wins and plays well doing it; nothing I've said says anything different, so don't mix the message.

Didn't say DJ said anything else, I said he got(by lovie not cutler) shoved back in line(and he should have btw).

Again, JC can be the biggest douche on the planet as long as he plays well and wins. that's the reality of NFL football. Great players don't have to have class; but don't tell me I have to think he's a great leader or a great person b/c he's a great player. I'll call a douche a douche w/out any issue. Don't mix my two opinions 1)JC good to great player w/potential to improve to boarderline elite 2) off the field he's a huge douche bag who's espn radio show/interviews are near unlistenable b/c of his douchiness.
