Different type receivers, but there are some similarities. Paul Warfield was as much a factor in the Dolphins dominant running game as Larry Csonka, Larry Little, Jim Langer etc. Warfield demanded attention from the opposition and nobody could cover him. He may have been the best player on that team and one of the best receivers of his generation. If Warfield played today, and on a passing team, his numbers would be sick. I'm not saying Ted Ginn Jr. is a Paul Warfield, but he has the type of rare speed that has to be accounted for on every play. Safeties won't be able to cheat up to stop the run and just watch the running lanes Ronnie Brown will have this year. I'll admit I wasn't 100 percent sold on the pick, but I do like the positives he can add to this offense. And he seems like a player who will work hard to improve, not to mention he is versatile having spent time at corner. I haven't even mentioned field position. Miami should win this battle 70 percent of the time and we may see the "directional" punting game resurface as teams attempt to kick away from Ginn. The Dolphins got a heck of a lot more exciting with this pick.

.....Brilliant!!! :D
 
Warfield was something special and a HOFer, you can`t even compare the Marks Bros with him (yeah I know they both have WAY better career numbers). I just hope Ginn turns out to be a guy we can count on to be on the field for the next 8-10 years.

Lol! Exactly. We actually have a chance to see some big plays on offense this year. I'm not predicting the super bowl or even the playoffs, just more excitement than we've seen in a long time on the offensive side of the ball.

In a way, despite being selected in the Hall of Fame, Warfield was really underrated. You don't always hear about him when people discuss the best wide receivers. In part, that's because he was so unselfish and played in an offense that ran the ball so much. The comparison with Ginn is the ability to stretch the defense.
 
LOL. So now we're comparing Ginn to Warfield a HOF. I called Paul at his home in Ohio and he said he's proud to be mentioned in the same breath as Ginn!
 
In regards to the running game, Paul Warfield was a great blocker. Especially devastating on the crackback.

That's illegal nowdays. And Warfield is one of the reasons why.
 
Ginn is the hanging thread of Warfield's giant gonadal jock. Ginn would not even be the sweat smell that Warfield left on his thong-strap after a game.

I think most older fin-heaven fans feel like this. Did someone just compare PW to Ginn? Silly IMO. :sidelol:
 
Wasn't Paul Warfield our best receiver ever? Hasn't Ted Ginn never stepped into an NFL game? Comparisons like this are ridiculous.
