Why? b/c he mainly ran short routes and caught a lot of balls? I'm guessing that is your response yes?

Name me a QB who can't throw to the TE. Referencing a QB's safety valve as a rebuttal to a QB's passing woes is pretty weak.

What happened to calling Vick a marginal "qb", a great passing RB, and lacking any touch?

Crumpler .75 more catches, 10.3 more yards, 0 more tds than Clark. Good work on that one.

So you're saying the guys who threw to Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez in their primes were shitty QB's?

If that's the only target they can pass to... yes.

:slappy:

Shouldn't you be busy analyzing color schemes of the girl's softball team uniforms?

I do think he is marginal, at best, but think people blaming him for Jenkins lack of production are ridiculous. Jenkins just doesn't have that break away type quickness on his breaks like guys such as Steve Smith or Chad Johnson.

Just a tad too slow on his breaks.

So many options, and you went with that? [insert comedy tv show joke here]

Glad to see you've given up fighting for your absurd stance in this thread.

Ginn: Progression takes time
By EDGAR THOMPSON

DAVIE ? Rookie wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. said he would never forget his first NFL catch last weekend.

He just won't focus on it.

"I'll remember it like the back of my hand," Ginn said of the 15-yard reception. "But it's not something I'll hang on to. It's one catch. It's over with, let's keep moving. Let's keep pushing."

Ginn, the No. 9 pick in April's draft, knows he has a lot more to prove.

Because of expectations many top-10 picks have a rough road in the NFL. Ginn's has been bumpier than most, going all the way back to draft day when fans booed his selection.

Two games without a catch didn't help, considering every wide receiver picked in the top-10 since 2000 caught a pass in his first two games.

"It takes time, no matter who you are, who you're with," Ginn, 22, said.

But the former Ohio State star is beginning to show flashes of the player the Dolphins envisioned when they gambled on him.

Sunday, Ginn also had a season-long 39-yard kickoff return in the second quarter. Earlier, he had a 27-yard punt return negated by a penalty.

Ginn isn't keeping track.

"I'm not a selfish person at all," he said. "Some first-rounders are probably like, 'Give me the ball. I'm a first-round draft pick.' I'm not like that. I just want my team to win."

The Dolphins (0-3) could use a little more of Ginn's speed.

Ginn hopes to oblige. Considered the faster offensive player in the draft, he said he's recognizing seams in the return game and picking up on the offense better each week.

He's eager for more, but at the same time isn't in a hurry.

"It's going like it's supposed to," he said.

Sept. 24 Ginn

"You're not seeing a lot of the strides that Ted is making," Cameron said the other day. "Ted has grown light years as a receiver. It just so happens that he's playing behind two veteran guys (Chris Chambers and Marty Booker) who are playing pretty well."


Ginn is a quiet sort. The only way he shouts out his own name is via a tattoo that stretches across his back from shoulder to shoulder. Ask him about the challenge of taking on Cameron's playbook and of matching his quickness against the lightning that crackles all over an NFL field. The answer kind of gets lost in the noise, pretty much like Ginn's opening kickoff return for a touchdown in the BCS title game to Florida.


"It's not a lot to swallow, but it sure is different than what I was used to playing," Ginn said. "I've got some good guys here as teammates working with me, helping me to get ready. I've just got to keep pushing. I'll be fine."

Dolphins' Ginn at back of rookie class

DAVIE ? Three players selected just before Dolphins receiver Ted Ginn Jr. in the first round of April's NFL Draft, and three taken right after him, are all starters in the NFL.

The next receiver drafted after No. 9 pick Ginn, Kansas City's Dwayne Bowe at No. 23, has scored a touchdown in three straight games. Third-round receiver James Jones has 18 catches and a touchdown for Green Bay.

Ginn? The player whose selection was jeered by Dolphins fans on draft day is a second-stringer who rarely appears on offense. Used almost exclusively to return kickoffs and punts, Ginn has one catch for 15 yards and two rushes for 4 yards for the 0-4 Dolphins. Coach Cam Cameron continues to stress patience for Ginn as he learns the playbook and adjusts to the NFL.

"There is only one football out there," Cameron said. "His opportunities will come."

Still, drafted for his speed and playing for a team struggling at receiver, Ginn isn't running many routes and has had only three balls thrown his way.

"Of all the positions, receiver is one place that you should be able to come in early and play," said Tom Marino, an NFL scout for more than 30 years who now works for the Web site Scout.com. "Obviously, something is missing if they're not doing that right now
