One reason its hard to stay consistent is because those ST guys you work with, aren't always there year after year. Unlike defense and offense, where usually there are 1 or 2 changes to 11 man squad, helping keep it consistent and the chemistry up.

I was mildly enraged until I actually keyed in on the part about him still returning punts... I'm really indifferent to him not returning kicks.

Yeah, if he wasn't still returning punts, then it'd be a big deal.
Although, I'd much rather my team kickoff to Daniel Manning than Devin Hester. *shrugs*

It's a good move, Hester can be paid more, do more damage (potentially) and the team could really use a deep threat at this point.
He's a great returner, maybe even the "best", but a returner will never do as much damage as receiver of equal skill at his position.

They're doing the same thing with Ginn in Miami.

Holy **** read the article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is for kickoffs, which he isn't nearly as good at, and which Danieal Manning is probably the better player. Manning was returning kicks for much of last year.
This isn't even news, it's been known since November of last year.

Manning lead the league last year in kickoff return average when he took over the duties. While it wasn't for an entire season, Manning is the better option returning kicks and Hester is better for punts.
Manning also lead the league in returns of 30+ yards. As has been said, he doesn't dance on kickoffs, he finds a hole and hits it.
