Title: Ginn carries 49ers
Post by: masterfins on September 11, 2011, 07:32:34 pm
Ted Ginn with a 102 yd KO return for TD, then a 55yd Punt return for TD.  The one thing he was always good at, too bad he can't catch passes.

Why-O, Why-O, Why-O did the Dolphins get rid of the speedster from Ohio??

I'll bet Stroke was as happy as a shark in a school of amberjack

Me either.  I never thought he was a bad kick returner, just a bad WR who was drafted too high.

Ginn's only sin was being drafted too high because he was mistakenly considered a potential starting receiver.

He's a solid return man...that's his role in the NFL.

Agree with Sunstroke. 

Dolphins messed up twice with him.  He was worth more than a 5th and less than a 1st.  Buy high, sell low.

Dolphins were lucky to get rid of him when they did.  The value of a kick returner has gone down significantly with this year's rule changes.

The nicest thing about Ginn this year...he took a major pay cut ($2.2 mil to $1 mil) a couple of weeks ago in order to stay in SF. I'm sure most of that was realization that he wouldn't make much more (if any at all) by leaving as a free agent, but anything that frees up money to add more talent to the roster is OK by me.

The value of a kick returner has gone down significantly with this year's rule changes.

The premise of that argument is valid...though I'd like to wait 2-3 weeks to compare premise to actuality. Lord knows, I saw a lot more return men taking the ball out from "deep" in their own end zone in week one, and it certainly didn't seem like we had a shortage of return TDs this weekend.
