I think this is getting blown way out of proportion. I am one who was very upset by us taking him #9. I am one that has questioned his heart and not his ability. I was also the same one cheering like a phin'atic today when he was racking up the yardage.

However, he got most of his yardage on a CB who hasn't played in the last 2 games and is still battling a knee injury. If Teddy can play at this level after today's game, then I will serve myself a big bowl of crow, which I would eat with a big smile on my face, because I want to see this kid succeed. He has all the physical tools, he just needs to play with the fire that I saw in his eyes today after a few of those big plays.

Are you Cam Cameron Jr?
 
He got most of his yardage by having the ball thrown his way, and being open to make the catches. We should try the strategy of throwing to him more often. I'm not ready to crown him either, but i was never ready to drive him out of town with a pitchfork like many people here.

Also if the CB covering him was so banged up, you'd assume Buffalo would adjust and stick a healthy CB on him.

But hey, excuses are made no matter what the situation is so I'm not surprised by your opinion
 
I also agree that he's been getting a raw deal with either not having the ball passed to him or passed poorly. As he begins to play at a high level, I guarantee you'll see Pennington look/throw to him more often.
 
McGee, even if he was injured, was still the best CB the bills had out there today.

I agree, Ginn should not be crowned, but he deserves praise.

Exactly. First game he's actually had the ball thrown his way and it's his best game yet? How does that work? Oh that's right, find a way to get your BEST receiver the ball.

No excuses, just looking for confirmation that he's the real deal. Only way to get that is to see high level play on a consistent basis.

Actually no that would be a bad assumption.

Youboty was out.
McKelvin was working slot

Greer and McGee do not flip sides of the field that often, so when Ginn was on McGee, McGee was staying there, Heck Whitner was even playing NB at times today
 
We shouldnt crown him but he def deserves praise for today I for 1 hope this was his coming out party...HENNING GET THE KID THE BALL
 
Oh...and by the way...can it now be said that having Pennington in is not the reason that we haven't thrown to Ginn more!!! I have always said that "he will play and get the ball when the coaches say he's ready." I don't think it has a darn thing to do with which QB is in...maybe the coaches believe he has turned the corner...Let's hope so...but he has to show it for more than a single game....

This is the first time all season we've seen pennington throw these kinds of passes. the player he was today and the ones hes been all season are not the same. hopefully Pennington learned something about himself today as well.
 
Dont worry, fans have very short memories. If Ginn has a 2 reception for 19 yard game next week, he'll get the bust label back soon enough.
 
While I agree that one good game proves nothing in the grand scheme of things, I don't mind all of the over the top praise. I think it's only fair that his great game is blown out of proportion ... especially since the exact opposite always happens when he has what is perceived as a bad game.

It should go both ways, right? If not, then then stop with the half of dozen highly critical threads over a poor game.
