I love you Dan Marino But we tried Him on the Offense. Did not work too well dropped passes Running out of bounds lets just focuse on returning Kicks for now huh

He is best when he is running under the ball. Again not a number 1 receiver but a deep threat that we lack on this team.Athrun340, like2god and dolfan7171 like this. -
Running past people is only a threat if you do it often enough and can make more than just an easy catch.
What Dan says is pretty generic.....well yeah he could help us. How much and how often is another matter.
My opinion is that Ginn should focus on the return game for a while and work on the areas that limit him as a receiver....otherwise I don't see anything changing.dolfan7171 likes this. -
Probably^

Thing is, Dan needs to look at himself in the mirror to remember who he is/was because he'd be in Ginns face so much already that he'd problably have made the coaches bench him a long time ago if not have completely torn his head off by now.miamiron likes this. -

I seem to remember alot of our receivers dropping balls against Marino. It was frustrating to watch but I always atrributed it to the crazy velocity of some of his throws. I figured he broke enough finbgers in his career that he could forgive the occasional drop
-
I think that what Marino was saying is that we rode Tony Martin out of town on a rail because of his drops and he proceeded to go to the Chargers and become a really good receiver. He doesn't want us to repeat the mistake with Ginn; he's calling for patience.

What's funny is until just about two games ago, Ginn had GREAT hands. He has never been prone to dropping balls.
Have any of you ever thought that maybe he just is having a rough stretch.Gitrdone, GridIronKing34, dolfan7171 and 8 others like this. -
So when Ginn drops balls, he needs to be cut, and other guys need to start. When Bess drops balls, and fumbles three balls in two games, people still call for Ginn to sit? Give me a break.

Same reason I hated Eddie Moore (Boldin), Avery (Moss), Fletcher (Brees)
Or it just could have been that they SUCKED....can't remember -
If that isn't an endorsement for patience, I don't know what is.

with dan on this team ginn would probably have 3-5 more TD´s and would average 17 yards per catch

I think Marino may mean Ginn could distract the defense at least some opening other parts of the field. And become even more of a threat if his skills mature.
The issue I had with Ginn wasn't just drops. That ball is coming in way faster than we on our couches reallize so I can handle a few drops. When they get frequent at critical times I start worrying. I like Bess but lately he has me worried. A large part of Ginns recent trend to worry me was he didn't seem to have heart or guts. We all saw him lie down or run out of bounds a few times. He didn't do that Sunday. He juked and and kicked it in gear. And as great as the returns were I also loved seeing him get hit and get up smiling. He had fire and heart. He didn't lay down they had to knock him down. That says a lot to me. I would guess that the great receivers are able to completely ignore the guys racing to kill them and just focus on the ball. Just a guess.
My hope is Ginn will continue to mature, that Bess will come out of his slump, that Hartline has skills to add to the mix. I don't want an offense to depend on one guy. I want there to be multiple threats. They don't have to be superstars. Just move the chains. Add to that a more solid secondary and joy.Alex44, dolfan7171, cnc66 and 1 other person like this. -
Like Marino said, he is what he is...which is mostly just fast.
He's not mis-used, mis-treated or mis-understood.......he plays WR like a "miss" -

Santonio Ginn Jr.?
Ginn reminds me of Santonio Holmes. He is predicted to have a breakout every year but just doesn't achieve it. In Pitt, Ward is the clear cut #1 and Holmes is a nice addition. I'm thinking we could get a number 1 like a Boldin and turn Ginn into a Holmes like receiver. Holmes uses his return skills to take short passes to the house and he is a deep threat.dolfan7171 likes this. -

yes and marino warns the overly critical fans :shifty:to be patient since we dont want to miss out on the good part of his career that came after he left the Dolphins. 4 1000 yd seasonsClick to expand...dolfan7171 and like2god like this.

True.....those 100 yd TD receptions of his are hard to compete with. Oh wait, those were KR's, he had 0 catches. :shifty:
Give Hartline the same chance that you're so worried about Ginn getting. It was one game.... -

I have a better idea....let's get a legitimate play making threat at the position that can make the different kinds of catches we need to be madeClick to expand...dolfan7171 and adamprez2003 like this.

well we're getting somebody but i have no idea what this organization considers a legitmate threat at WR. Do we draft one? Do we pick one up in Free Agency? Do we get a big playmaker type or do we get another speed guy or another possession guy or another TE and say thats enough?Click to expand...jetssuck likes this.

I'd prefer FA rather than spending a high pick on someone and then wait/hope for them to develop... and I'd like a big, physical play making, red zone threat.
