Is Slater or Jones a Better Returner?
 
I picked Slater because I think he offers more in the other areas. And how many friggin' WR's do we need?

Also, those bad decisions in pre-season were UGLY. One may have been called, but I can't imagine why.

Also, I don't think anyone WANTS Welker/Faulk/Hobbs returning kicks.

The wrinkle here could be Deltha.

Slater has the better potential as a returner, though he hasn't shown me anything too special yet. He has nice speed, but I think he is too quick to hit full speed. I haven't seen him really take the time to find the right hole to run through.

(If only we had a running back like that)
 
I say Slater....purely based on the fact that he didn't fumble 50 times in the preseason.
