 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/stor ... NHeadlines5th round pick I think they gave him away, but thats me personally. I would have kept him for that. I will say this though, while I don't agree with this move, this admin has surprised me a couple of times (Dansby and Marshall) with their ability to keep up a smokescreen and then completely surprise ya.

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
His salary was about to go up. This year and next year. I think we've seen this coming for awhile. They hung on to him until they could replace him. Quote: Marshall's acquisition made him expendable, and the fact his base salary was set to jump from $678,000 to $1.036 million this season, and balloon to $1.4 million in 2011, made him expensive, especially when factoring in his limited role. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-ted-ginn-49ers-trade-0417-20100416,0,675753.story?track=rss

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
That's pretty disapointing.
Well, maybe a change of scenary and Mike Singleterry is all he needs. Good luck to him.

Still, if you are a top 10 pick, you have to produce more than Ted produced for Miami. His fear of getting hit and running crossing routes hurt him a great deal and if you want to be a #1 WR, which he will never be, you have to run all of the route tree, not just the outs and deep routes. Who runs a 4.3 or lower for the Saints or Colts? Iowa, I know full well Ted Ginn is not a complete WR, but it still nice to have a kid that can stretch the field. Believe me, I understand the trade. Ginn was the 9th pick in the draft and he was nowhere near being a complete WR. Thank you Cam Cameron. The horse is DEAD Iowa! You can stop beating it now.

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
With the cut of Porter and the trade of Ginn the only 3 miami jerseys ive ever owned (besides a marino one when i was a kid) the other being Culpepper never lasted as Dolphins. So it seems that anytime I buy a jersey of a player they are soon off the team. Any requests on the next dolphin jersey I should buy =)

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
The moment Cameron drafted him I said it was a HUGE mistake. And he showed even less than my low expectations.
Glad to see him go. Shame we couldn't have traded him straight up for Holmes.

I have been accused of being an optimist before though. Ted Ginn's mom thanks you for the optimism;) You just gotta love it. lol

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
Ugh not happy with this at all... and yes my nips did get hard at us getting Spiller but I don't think this move makes it anymore likely.... I'll still follow the kid... I like him for some reason...

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
I was hoping we would get a 4th rounder for him....but I guess a 5th rounder for a guy you were gonna' end up cutting is about right.
Can we officially call him a bust yet? I was excited about Ginn when he was drafted, but he is proof positive that being a college star...even on a big stage....means nothing in the NFL. It seems we can be somewhat consoled by the fact that passing on Brady Quinn in that draft wasn't too bad a move....

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
Just wanted to break down my thoughts on Ginn so everyone knows where I used to stand:
Hated the pick. Thought last year was his chance to prove everyone wrong. He failed. Wanted us to get rid of him but for nothing less than a fourth. So I am happy to have him off the team, but think the value just isn't enough considering he does bring something - albeit small - to the table with his returning skills and speed.

So you're allowed to rehash last season with an irrelevant question, while I make a comment based on an event that happened today, and you claim the topic is dead? You're a real trip. As of now, you're on my ignore list. You may do the same since you hate Iowa so much.

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
man, i'm real dissapointed. Are we going to find a better ball player in the 5th round? I don't think so. Was His contract really that heavy?

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
but then again, the Ravens probably would have pulled the trigger on Ginn for a 5th rounder if he was really that good

No, he's just that bad...but for what it's worth, a 5th rounder this year (depending on the position you're looking at) is about the same as a late 3rd to mid 4th in any other draft. So with a combination of Ginn being bad, and this draft being awesome, yes Miami can easily find a better ball player.

 Re: Dolphins trade Ted Ginn to the 49ers
all ginns speed meant was that he could run out of bounds faster. usually 5 yards shy of the first down or any contact from a defensive player.
