WVDolphan's Get Real. Today's subject "The Ginn Family"

This may be the shortest edition of Get Real ever.

Ok. All of you guys have to stop whining about how we traded Ted Ginn Jr. for a 5th round pick. Not because Parcells dosent blow, but because 90% of you who are now complaining about it HATED Ted Ginn Jr. and were ready to trade him for a bag of doritos. GET REAL!

And while its true we could use his speed, return skills, and his presence as a receiver to stretch the field a bit, we shouldve replaced those assets of his with a different player or two at the position. You know.......a guy that could actually catch the ball as well to go along with those things.

We have absolutely no depth at the WR position. Thats why we kept 2 undrafted FA's at WR.

I was all for trading Ginn as well. Which is why I have yet to complain about his absence. However, I for some reason, felt after trading him that we might actually draft a playmaker or two, especially when you know that trading him leaves you void of a return man.

But, NO. Of course we had to draft MORE CORNFED LINEMEN! This is what makes trading Ginn a blunder.

Trading him was a fine move, unless you werent going to replace him. Thats why I thought for sure we were drafting McCluster when we traded down. I guess that made too much sense though. There were a handfull of guys I wanted to draft at the WR or RB/return specialist position though. I thought for sure we would get at least one.

So yea, nothing wrong with trading Ginn. He blows.......REMEMBER. But, trading him and not replacing his assets was a really stupid move.

Anyways, stop talking about Ginn and how youre pissed that we traded him. You arent. There were about 3 people total on this board that liked Ginn as a player while he was here. So GET REAL!!!

Wow. I actually agree!
 
I agree as well. The team is better off not having him. Any throw you send his way is too risky. He's a risk on returns as well. For every good return he had with us he had like 20 more bad ones.
 
We all know he wasn't good as a receiver, but I wish we would have kept him for returning punts and kicks along with running an occassional streak on offense.

Yeah, Ginn had some great plays and some awesome returns that saved games....

But...

how many friggin games did the guy cost us? How many drops did the guy have? How many times would he just run out of bounds instead of fight for extra yards? How many reutrns wer just "average".

Just because he had a good game in SF does not mean he would have a good game for us.

Let the guy go, he was not getting it done here.

Period

WTF?

How many games did he cost us? Its not like hes Ricky out there fumbling his brains out, or for you Henne haters out there hes not throwing picks when driving to score.. Hes not dan henning calling a wildcat on 3rd and 7...

I can name TWO times you all are refferring too... The drop against the colts where he had 11 rec 110 yds and chad p was finding ginn all games on 3rd down... and the saints game where he dropped a 3rd and 22 pass that was right in his bread basket... in which he hustled and BLATANTLY stripped sharper who fumbled it into the endzone. BUT that play didn't count so ill give it to you, but it was probably more than that one play that cost us that saints game, call me crazy.

This guy didn't fumble kickoffs or anything so i dont see why it was so hurtful...

because finfans have to blame somebody. last year it was ginn. this year it is henning/henne

reality: last year it was defense this year its henning/special teams
 
Its funny how everybody talks about Ginn for dropping passes, but Hartline has dropping passes less and right and doesn't even contribute to the team, but everybody wants Ginn gone but nobody talks about Hartline.

Cobbs has been terrible this season, but nobody wants him gone? Cobbs has been a special team disaster this year...First our returner sucked, then our special teams coach sucked, maybe it was neither, maybe it was just we have a bunch of scrub practice squad players playin on special teams
 
Maybe I was passive aggressive toward Teddy, in that I wasn't exactly sorry to see him go but really would have preferred he stayed if nothing more than to make life easier for Marshall. However, although I understand that the blocking and coaching on STs is no doubt better than ours, still, even one of his returns yesterday is a helluva improvement over what we've had.
Ginn took the opening kickoff, cut left and turned it upfield for a 44-yard return against the Eagles.


His left knee finally unsprained, Ginn gave the 49ers the ball at their 49-yard line.


Ginn's return was the team's longest of the season by 14 yards - until the fourth quarter, when he returned a kick 61 yards to set up the 49ers' final scoring drive.


Ginn also had kick returns of 23 and 18 yards in the first half, showing the team's blocking has more work to do.
He also played seven snaps in three-receiver sets by halftime. The idea is for the speedy Ginn to stretch the field, and he tried on a go route early in the second quarter.
Only Smith underthrew a 44-yard pass, allowing third-string cornerback Dimitri Patterson to intercept the ball at the Eagles' 3.


Ginn did have a 17-yard catch on a play-action call on 3rd-and-1 in the second quarter, running a deep post before slamming the brakes and turning around for his first catch since a Week 1 knee injury.

ginn did some good things putting the 9ers in some good field position but it was the same old beeline for the sideline whenever he had the ball...over and over

i'm glad he's gone

Ginn sucks. It really is amazing, go back to before the Draft most of the people pining for Ginn were cursing his name and his family religiously. You people flip flop worse than a politician.

I didn't like the Ginn trade from the get-go and you know it. No flip-flopping here- I am just looking better and better everytime he has a big return while our Special Teams suck. With how much crap I got on here for standing up for him this is hilarious to see everyone else come over to my side.

Dumbest post of the year. He stepped out of bounds at the EAGLE's 41 and 46, I would take that any day of the week. Also, D. Jackson ran for the sidelines on his punt return and I didn't hear anyone question his toughness. These smaller receivers have to protect their bodies. They don't do anyone any good on IR. Ginn was one of a few bright spots for the Niners last night- you just can't admit when you're wrong.
 
I know that EVERYONE wanted him gone and some of us yes wanted better but get over it, it's in the past. It shouldn't be surprising that ginn is doing better there then here. Almost every dolphin that gets traded or leaves our team is better at another team. There should be more complaining about how our offense should be awesome (Henne is not looking good and our Dan Henning please), defense doing good enough to stop an offense a few times, and special teams that ISN'T the main reason we lose a game.
 
LOL, missing the likes of a Ted Ginn on our team is an indictment of how bad our Special Teams return game is and overall Offensive Team Speed.

Another Front Office screw up.
 
Honestly, this pining by a lot of you over Ginn is pathetic. Those of you who wanted to keep him last year, feel free to ***** about it now. If you wanted him gone (which is the right) like the vast, vast majority then you can't flip flop now. Do you all need to go watch that drop youtube video again? Personally, I'm extremely glad he's off the team.
