Ted Ginn Jr.

According to ESPN Insider the Dolphins are shopping him. While he hasn't shown that he is a #1, I dunno. I think he could thrive in Martz system.

 

No way. Ginn has some of the worst hands in football and he's scared to go over the middle. He caught less than half (38 of 78, or 48.7%) of the passes thrown to him this year, and he dropped 10 passes to go with his measly 38 catches. According to PFF, Ginn had the third-worst drop percentage in the NFL, behind only Mark Bradley and James Jones. He dropped more passes than Braylon Edwards, more than Roy Williams, more than anybody except Bradley and Jones. That's bad.

 

I can't see his problems getting better on the Bears, either. Ginn's never been able to catch the football, even with the most accurate QB in NFL history throwing to him. You can't chalk his problems up to switching from Pennington to Henne, either - not with Davone Bess still catching everything in sight. How would Ginn do with Cutler throwing 100-mile-an-hour fastballs his way? I don't care what offensive system the Bears run, whether it's Martz's or anybody else's: receivers have to be able to catch, and Ginn can't catch. I can see him catching on with some team in need of a kick returner, but Chicago already has more of those than they know what to do with.

Now Ginn Jr is a 49er to team up with Crabtree

Makes sense, really. It sounds like they're keeping Crabtree and Josh Morgan as the starters and using Ginn as a kick returner and #3 WR, which is about right.

 

EDIT: Also, if we're thinking about Ginn as a KR and #3 WR, check this out...Johnny Knox is better:

 

Knox 2009: 80 targets, 45 catches, 527 yards, 5 TD.

Ginn 2009: 78 targets, 38 catches, 454 yards, 1 TD.

 

Knox 2009: 32 kick returns, 927 yards (29.0 avg.), 1 TD

Ginn 2009: 52 kick returns, 1296 yards (24.9 avg.), 2 TD
