He gave it everything he had. They must have too. It's all you can really ask.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

2 highlight games in 4 years? Wow, he's fantastic.

Maybe we should try to get him back seeing as how he's due to have another good game around 2013.

In all seriousness, I have no idea why we didn't keep him as a number two alongside Marhsall.

Because he was a mediocre Wr?

I always thought Ginn got an underserved rep, he was what he was, to me, I'm just happy the man is having success.

See all of the Returns for Td's so far this season? ST unit had best be on their toes tomorrow night.

Unbelievable. People are still sticking up for a horrible WR and a guy who is a mediocre returner.

He had his once in a blue moon good game(as a returner). He will fade into obscurity now.

Ginn has one great game per season ... he got it out of the way early this year ... time for his great disappearing act for the remaining 15 games

Meh. No sleep lost over Ted Ginn here. Good for him and the Niners. He didn't do squat for us and was hated by everyone of us (including the ones who are now jumping off of a cliff because of one great game). He HAD to go. We wouldn't be any better with him, but might be worse.

He s not even a good returner- he has one or two good games a year and then has a mediocre per return average. Its not really worth the couple of touchdowns for mediocre return yardage and average.

I'm happy for the guy, and I don't really care if he stayed or went. Kid was sort of a victim of his draft status. He shouldn't have ever been picked where he was and was never going to live up to his draft position.
With that said, I didn't like him as a receiver at all.
but anyway...Good for Ted...

TBH, one of the unexplored questions is whether a single player, who "wins' one game out of 16 is worth a roster slot?

That I have no answer to, imo a Returner still has to do more then dominate one game, ST is normally good for 1 or 2 wins per yr, for a returner to be worth it they have to do it twice, if not more, imo.

I think a player like that is worth a roster spot. I don't know why some coaches seem to dislike having a guy that is exceptional at returns only.
Kinda like how Chicago had Hester as a return demon, and have been trying to turn him into a WR. Early on in Hester's WR growth they took away his return duties, and I think the team suffered for it. Last season he resumes his return duties (along with still playing WR) and probably swayed at least 2 games in the Bears favor with his returns.

Well, we obviously upgraded at Kick Returner, and Bess is unbelievable on punts, so nothing to worry about.

Well, starting field position is such an edge to have as well, but only a team with a settled Wr corps and OL really can carry one, ditto on the Dline/secondary.

To carry one as active you have to be willing to sacrifice that 8th OL/6th DE/#4 Wr/9th Lb.

I don't think John Beck was very good at returning kicks at all.

Soooooo ****ing what. He was a TERRIBLE receiver. Nolan Carrol, who we got with the 5th round pick we got for him not only had a better overall KR average last year, he actually....wait for it.....CONTRIBUTED AT HIS POSITION.
With that said, Ted Ginn will always have a special place in my heart for showing up to play the Jests! lol

I know it's the trendy thing around here to second guess every personnel move the Dolphins make simply for the sake of argument, but trading Ted Ginn for a 5th round pick was a ****ing joke. A ****ing joke.
