That he can outrun EVERYONE on the field? Watch him on a reverse!`

That he can make the tough catch in traffic? Watch his catch vs. the Seahawks!

That he can go up over the DB? Watch the 1st play vs. Buffalo!

All he needs is more touches. We have a QB who protects the football and likes to check down to TE's and RB's in a run first offense.

He needs to show that he can be the clutch #1 WR, go to guy, and amazing kick returner that he was supposed to be when he was drafted in the top 10.
 
All those things U mentioned are correct but what we want for him and everyone can agree is to do all those things on a consistent bases which we can expect when drafting him so high. Third year is a charm for WR if he ant got it by then , idk.

He strikes me as a role player, not a #1. He is what he is- again, hopefully he proves me wrong.
 
Chris Chambers did all of those things too, but would just disappear too many games. I love CC and Ginn, but I hope Ginn finds the consistency Chambers never found here. Ginn doesn't have Chambers excuse of inconstistencies at QB.
 
From watching games and speaking to friends that are Dolphins fans, I'd say he needs to show he has a pair and stop looking for the sideline the moment he touches the ball.

Outside of that, I think that pick is starting to pay off.
 
In my Freshman year of HS, I was trailing a play when our halfback fumbled the ball. I picked it up and, flopped (I'd say *Ran* but that would be disingenuous) into the end zone. What else did I need to prove about me playing the position of halfback?
 
he's a scared rabbit out there. Don't tell me you dont see it either. Thats why they put Cobbs back to return kicks. He's not a number one. He will make a great #2 once we get someone like TJ Houz here.
 
In a 16 game season u can only point out 3 plays were ginn did what he was hired to do. There should be plays from every game you can point out from a reciever drafted in the top 10. Ginn needs to act like a #1 reciever with being drafted in the #9 slot. Even if they are not the ones getting the catches, they are atleast drawing the double teams and making the defense pay close attention to them allowing everyone else to get open. Yes I know Penny can't hit him on the deep ball because of his speed but that is not the only route there is.
 
all we have seen so far are flashes of greatness. he needs to be dangerous on every play and every return, not just once in a while. that being said, he seems to be getting better(and tougher) all the time and I think he will be more productive with a strong-armed QB.

I don't know why people say he is scared. He has goen over the middle and taken hits multiple times this season. When he went out of bounds it was a bad decision not because he was scared.
 
Ginn does everything we ask him to do and some fans here will never be satisfied, and that's just a sad fact...
 
IMO, whenever Chad Henne gets the nod, we will see Ginn catching deep ball 40-50 yards down field. Ginn will be more developed, and Henne has the cannon. Ginn has the speed to burn CB's down the field. I wouldn't even be suprised if Ginn explodes on the scene next year. I believe our Coaching Staff will help him go the extra mile and make the big plays that are expected. Ginn Progressed as the season went on, and I believe we have found a gem in our WR's coach.
 
He needs to prove squat. He played HS and Ohio State football and excelled enough for a NFL team to pick him high (maybe too high) at 9 but someone would have taken him rd 1)

For you guys to think he doesnt have a pair is rediculous. If anyone makes it as far as he did, he aint afraid my friends.

That being said, the kid is coming along fine, hes got great hands and made the highlite real a couple of times. I, for one, am happy with his progress and look forward to next year as I have a feeling he's going to be electrifying.
 
Teddy needs one thing to be a true number 2 reciever. SIZE wich he does not have. He matches up horribly against physical CBs. He gets thrown around at the line of scrimmage wich makes it very hard for him to take advantage of his speed and get seperation. Again he is just to small. Number 2 reciever?? Maybe..But never a number one ...He'll also never live up to be a number 9 pick wich could effect him mentally. I hope I'm wrong but I try to live in reality and not let my homerism take over....
