I've been saying that ppl would really miss Ginn. Everyone was all about praising Philly because he was gonna be this awesome punt returner, but he couldn't hold on to the job or put up the production Ginn did.

Letting him go was a poor choice to begin with.

The Panthers could afford to match the offer from Arizona. They didn't want him to leave.

Paying him what the Cardinals did would have been a worse choice.

People shouldn't worry about this being our "FA splash," because it wouldn't be.  Ginn isn't a Target acquisition, he's Dollar Gentral guy that got overpaid.  If he comes back, it will be on the Dollar store pay scale.  That shouldn't disappoint anyone.  He's a good returner, that is serviceable as a #4-5 receiver, and is a threat when he has the ball(or when he's on the field for that matter).  His speed has to be respected.  DG knows what he's worth, and knows the role he would serve, so it's hard to imagine they stop there... if he's brought back.

 

Plus, I always loved to holler, "one mo' Ginn, one mo' Ginn!" every time he had the ball in his hands.  Got pretty popular in 531 while he was here.  I started hearing quite a few other people yell it when he was back for returns.

So he's worth one catch?

Domenik Hixon caught the game-winning TD against the Saints that helped win the division and a 1st Rd bye.

Ginn is two or three times as likely to drop a beautiful and perfectly thrown deep ball as he is to actually catch one.

So you wouldn't want him, at the dollar store rate, as a returner/WR 4-5?  FWIW, he dropped 3 passes that year.  68 targets, 36 receptions, 556 yards, 5 TD's, drop rate of 4.4%.  Fits said role very well, if you ask me.

It's def a possibility and I wholeheartedly want Ginn back in Charlotte. Superb #4 deep threat, adequate #3. Above all else, above. All. Else... He's a PR/KR stud. Do want.

Is he really a PR/KR stud or does he just seem that way compared to Brenton fuging Bersin? I know he was way over hyped around here as a receiver, but as a KR I didn't think he was that great either. Good, but not great or a "stud." Maybe I need to go look at his numbers and highlights.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
