Struggling Ted Ginn has been given enough time

[BAMAPHIN 22]

This

isn't about draft position or the corresponding expectations anymore. It's not about which of the current Pro Bowl performers the Dolphins might have had, or stupid jokes about the manner in which his selection was presented by the prior regime.

This is about accountability.

If that's something that this Dolphins regime is intent on establishing, it needs to consider reducing Ted Ginn, Jr.'s role if not altogether sitting him down.

Sunday's 46-34 loss was hardly his fault alone, even as he was targeted eight times, caught just two passes for 16 yards, and had two big drops – one of which led to an interception and one of which came on the final drive.

But Ginn, after nearly three years, doesn't appear to be the best former Buckeye receiver on the roster; Brian Hartline seems to make plays whenever given an opportunity, including Sunday's 67-yard touchdown off a simple well-thrown slant. Good NFL receivers make plays for their team, not for the opponent, as Ginn did when a ball went through his hands and into those of Darren Sharper, who scored to cut the Dolphins' lead to 24-17.

Ginn didn't talk after the game. His coach, Tony Sparano, did, saying that "we'll try to get better" while pointing out that Ginn "made a big play a week ago for us and he had some opportunities (Sunday)."

Ginn has used up all of his excuses. guy tries to catch with his body and it bounces of his leg while hes wide open. tries to catch with his hands and bats it right to sharper. then has a pass go through his hands in the endzone. ginn sucks. im done supporting this excuse of a wr.

Ginn doesn't even make excuses.. he just keeps saying how he has to go back look at the film and try harder, play smarter.. I'm sorry.. no matter how hard he tries, he just can't get it done. Time to sit him down.

Let him be a pure returner.

It says something when your a professional reciever and have to try harder to catch the ball..... he's freaking terrible !!!!!!!!!!

WAIVE TED GINN TODAY!! He is like the example of the way players play on a 1-15 team. We need to be past that. I don't care if he was a first round pick. If he was a late round draft pick or an undrafted free agent he would be long gone.

I've defended Ted Ginn in the past, but I just can't do it anymore. Ireland will regret not trading for Bowe at the deadline.

Get rid of Ginn. Nuff said.

You guys are too hard on him, give him a break, within the next 4 weeks he SHOULD surpass his own jersey number in receptions.
