What about Marqius Colston from sainst he made impact rite away.
OK...if there are 20 WR's drafted a year, over 10 years that means around 200 drafted players...of those less than 10 had great rookie season's...which translates into a Success rate of .05%...so a WR drafted has less then a 1% chance of having a great rookie season... so marquis colston is one of the few. or for a better term "an exception to the rule"
Lets just play a little game. Lets start listing The top receivers in the game today and we'll check their rookie numbers:
In no particular order:
Chad Johnson 28 rec 328 yds 1 TD
Marvin Harrison 64 rec 836 yds 8 TD
Terrell Owens 35 red 520 yards 4 TD
Torry Holt 52 rec 788 yards 6 TD
Steve Smith 10 rec 154 yds 0 TD (Closest to Ginn in speed/style)
Larry Fitzgerald 58 rec 780 yds 8 TD
Lee Evans 48 rec 843 yds 9 TD
Laverneous Coles 22 rec 370 yds 1 TD
Plaxico Burress 22 rec 273 yds 0 TD
Issac Bruce 22 Rec 272 yds 3 TD
Reggie Wayne 27 rec 345 yds 0 TD
Hines Ward 15 rec 246 yds 0 TD
and on and on and on................
Overall as of right now there are 320 receivers with contracts in the NFL and of 320 players only 4 of them could make 1000 yards their rookie season....thats a .0125%...that is less than one third of 1 percent!!!!!!!!
Here are the facts.
1. Rookie WR's cannot carry the load.
2. It takes time for ANY receiver to develop.
3. Most "big name" receivers did little their rookie seasons, and their no name counterparts did even less.
4. Guys like Moss, boldin, colston and clayton are all
exceptions to the rule, not the standard.
Now it may seem that i'm trying to stop people from bashing or critisizing ginn, but i'm not. Basically i'm letting you all know that your expectations are way to high and you will be disapointed. AND if even one of you think that Muller or Camron don't know the EXACT same thing i just explained then your just plain Drunk!!!!!
Will ginn be a starter? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!
Will he be able to contribute in his first year more than most of the elite receivers during their rookie seasons?...YES YES YES YES YES YES YES...
So be HAPPY that we will get him significant playing time with ST's...AND he should be able to come in on some designed plays and so forth...but PLEASE stop this "he has to start cause he was 9th" BULL****!
I don't know about you guys but a bet with less than a 1% chance off winning is called a sure bet...for the casino.
