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.

      Some Draft Grades & some thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      Our Panthers reporter, Anthony Rizutti of Panthers Wire provides us with a few grades. I've added a couple of more snippets of analyses from some NC guys, including our friend Scott Fowler in Charlotte and a vid from Panthers Playbook's Dennis Cox and Chris Lea in Raleigh. It is food for thought. Of course we all have our opinions, but, me personally, I tend to giive the opinion of hardcore fans and people that actually follow the team a little more weight.  Touchdown Wire:     B Draft Wire:                B+ USA Today:               C NFL.com:                  B ESPN:                        B- PFF:                          C Yahoo Sports:          C CBS Sports:             C+ If you want to read their little summaries, hit the link. But as you can see, the national types have largely graded the draft average. There seems to be an acknowledgement of the fact that Morgan and company were in a hard place due to the malfeasance of the previous administrations, but that our FO did the best it could. One of the "experts" mentioned the "boom-or-bust" nature of our draft, which is an interesting way to characterize it, but I'm good with that. And Charles McDonald may have put it best which basically alluded to the fact that so much of the grade is simply based upon the unknown: "Even though they’re getting a C, it’s hard not to be caught by the allure of the unknown here. It’s a really interesting class." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/lists/panthers-nfl-draft-grades-experts-2024/   Tony Pauline, another national talking head, took his page straight out Debbie Downer's playbook, but it's all about perspective, right? Here's a bone for those that are decidedly negative about the outcome: "You could brand the Panthers as this year’s losers before the event began, considering they frittered away the first pick of the draft last year to select Bryce Young. Trading up one spot for the final selection of Round 1 to select Xavier Legette, a Day 2 receiver prospect, kept things going in the wrong direction for Carolina."   One person who has been---perhaps what has been perceived as negative about the direction of the franchise---decidedly sober-minded and what I consider fair about the way things have been going under the Tepper era has been Scott Fowler. By now, everyone should have heard of the contentious relationship that he and David Tepper have. Fowler has called Tepper out on his decided malfeasance (labelling it inTeptitude as I recall), and Tepper, the owner that is a somewhat contentious all own his own by the simplest of "slights," has outwardly acted inappropriate (in my opinion, toward Fowler. But Fowler was decidedly positive about this year's draft. "While nationally the Panthers didn’t get nearly the same amount of attention in this draft as they did in 2023, owing to the controversial big-splash trade and the ensuing selection of Young a year ago, this group may be more significant as a whole." Fowler gave the draft a B+ "This team is going to be more exciting. In particular, I have high hopes for Legette and Sanders. Carolina didn’t get everything it wanted — an edge rusher in the first two days of the draft would have been nice, for instance. But overall, I’m giving the Panthers a grade of B+ for the 2024 NFL Draft. Which, given the team as a whole got an F last year, is quite an upgrade." You may hit a paywall:https://www.heraldonline.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article287830040.html#storylink=cpy   And finally, here is Dennis Cox And Chris Lea. I thought they were fair and thoughtful in their assessment. They call Dan and Dave (and company) "The Alignment," because of being on the same page.  For me, that alone, is worth the listen.

      I honestly don't really care. This year is all about figuring out if Bryce is it. Period. Because if we have another high pick next year (pretty likely if we're being honest) we need to know if we need a QB.
