AS a 49er fan who likes Ted Ginn, how do I say this nicely?

Your son can’t catch.

What a joke. I’ve never understood Ginn taking the punts or kick offs. Even with the fumbles and muffed punts by Williams, I’d rather see Williams back there.
Ginn take bad fair catches. Lets the ball go behind him too often to be downed and he muffs a lot of punts. And hes just plain useless as a receiver.

Let him go. Bye! Everyone wave good bye to the Ginn’s!

Come to the Eagles, we’ll take ya. We need a good returner on ST and another decent receiver for competition in camp. Plus, Chip might be able to devise some exciting packages for ya there Theodore Jr.

How old does “Jr” need to get before “Sr” just shuts up and lets him answer his own questions?

Ginn is closer to being out of the league than in it…he’s never been great and there aren’t tons of teams begging to have him.

He worked out for the Lions last year. Should have signed, our KR is terrible and he would have been in the offense by week 7 last year. We had 5’6″ Stefan Logan (the terrible KR) running routes at one point.

Someone please explain why the 49ers had anyone else returning kickoffs in the Superbowl? I’d much rather see him returning kickoffs for the Bengals than Tate.

Mr Ginn and your response to a father on your high school team, expressing the same sentiments would be ?

Please, he was in Miami, and spent his time dropping balls. Why do you think the 49ers didn’t throw to him? It’s obvious.

If I remember correctly, he turned down the Ravens in offseason when they were looking for a KR before they signed Jones.

So at least that worked out OK for 2 of the 3 parties involved.

Sometimes parents just need to let their kids be adults and run their own lives and not try and speak on their children’s behalf. At some point all that has to end, Mr Ginn. You unwittingly teach your child to be ungrateful and ungracious.

Both Ginn and Moss are gonesville. Write it down.

The Lions wanted Ted Ginn last year and, as it turned out, he would have seen plenty of time at WR and/or KR.

With the departure of No. 2 WR Titus Young and Ryan Broyles coming off an ACL injury, there’s another opportunity for him in Detroit–if he’s smart enough to take it, that is.

If he could block, run precise routes and catch the ball consistently, he’d be playing more. It’s as simple as that. Kyle Williams, in spite of making those mistakes in the ’11 NFC Championship game, is a more complete player and I’d be fine with him taking over the punt return duties full time if Ginn wants to leave.

sadskinsfan89, you are wrong wrong wrong….Moss ended up being a very important part of the offense this past season. However, Ginn could be a cheap and useful return man for DC next season, so why not throw him an offer??

As for Mr. Ginn, he should relax- his son is making a HIGH 6-figure salary playing football, for crying out loud, forget the ego and keep working for SF or anywhere in the league he can.

Somebody tell me why Cleveland wants this guy? You have/had Josh Cribbs. Last I checked, Cribbs can run, throw, and catch. Seems to me that Shurmur just didn’t use Cribbs enough-not because Cribbs has a deficiency in his game. Wouldn’t it be better to just get Cribbs more involved in the O now that you have Chud? Seems to me, Cribbs is more valuable to the Browns than a one trick pony like Ginn.

Every daddy thinks Jr. is the best. Ginn hasn’t proven he can step up. Starting WRs have been injured for long periods of time 2 years in a row and Ginn couldn’t fill their role. He can’t pass Kyle Williams on the depth chart. Test FA and see what happens. He and his father are the only ones that see him as a WR. I imagine he will be back unless the 9ers feel that LMJ can fill his role, which would be more ideal as he can get on the field for his true position and Ginn can’t.

Maybe Ginn can be out with Cam Cameron.

Remember the Ginn family was Cam’s family on draft day 2009.

They don’t use him as a WR because he can’t catch the damn ball and he’s scared to get hit. Dealt with him for 3 years in Miami… he’s nothing more than a solid return guy.

Ted Ginn Sr. should stick to coaching Glenville Tarblooders HS Football team. This is the NFL, which stands for Not For Long. It is true they don’t use or maybe don’t value him as a receiver. With Kyle Williams’s fumbles last year it made him even more valuable as a returner this year. Hell, I was terrified when the Ravens free kicked to him at the end of the game Sunday. He has shown himself to be an average or lower receiver and a far above average returner. Maybe some other team will give him a shot at both, but fathers of NFL players need to shut their mouths.

Don’t worry, he’ll get his wish. 49ers will let Ginn and Moss go.

One of my favorite “uh, what?!” plays of the Super Bowl was Kaepernick’s third down heave to Ted Ginn in triple coverage. It’s rarely a good idea to throw the ball to Ted Ginn in single coverage, let alone when three guys are in his vicinity.

sadskinsfan89 — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:34:01 +0000

I thought the skins shouldve signed him last year. Let morgan and moss go and pick up ginn. Then the skins wld have a return guy as well

I would love to have him in Philly.

We havent had a decent returner since Brian Mitchell.

And behind Desean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, our receivers are blah. So he should get plenty of time as #4 receiver, or filling in for Desean when he is injured

By: hot97x

hot97x — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:28:24 +0000

he was a free agent last offseason as well, and he said he was looking for a place to be a receiver. no one wanted him last year, and he came crawling back to the 49ers, why would 1 more year and 2 receptions later change that? he has the same flaws, terrible hands, way too weak, often injured, and he doesn’t have even close to the speed he used to. that’s why he lost his job returning kickoffs this year.

By: sisqsage

sisqsage — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:27:30 +0000

He is the worst receiver on the roster. His role is as it should be: return kicks and watch Crabtree and Davis catch the bulk of the passes. His role won’t change much with any other team. He’s an above average returner in the kicking game and that’s about it.

Maybe Ginn Sr should have taught his son how to take a hit. Ginn Jr has proven to be averse to such activities. When you run out of bounds early or don’t put in a full effort to catch the ball because you don’t want to be popped by a DB your coach will take notice. That’s why he’s wearing red instead of Aqua.
