Ted Ginn Jr could return to Panthers

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.

    • If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.  
    • He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.  
    • I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
