Over / Under 800 yards Receiving for Ted Ginn this year


BigBoss

Recommended Posts

Not that is really means jack poo, but:

ESPN Fantasy Projection - 30 receptions, 340 yards, 2 TD's

NFL.com Fantasy Projection - 12 receptions, 170 yards, 1 TD

And yes, I'm fairly certain these are post KB injury predictions.  Are they high??  Or are we being too optimistic?  I'm thinking somewhere in between.

I think 650-700 for him. I don't think increased reps will greatly increase his production because he isn't made to be used this way. Unfortunately, he may be our best WR. My hope is if he can stay healthy, Funchess will put it together and go for 800. 1500 yards between two wr's might be ok for what we are trying to do, particularly if Olsen continues to stay productive.

SOMEBODY has to get production, so unless another player steps up and becomes Cam's primary target other than Olsen, Ginn may be that guy. Think of Gettis back in 2010, it wasn't that he was that good, it was just sooner or later someone HAD to catch a pass. And that was with horrible QB's.

He put up 790, and 2 TD’s with whoever was the QB in MIA in 2008 (Cleo Lemon), and he had 536 and 5 TD’s with Cam in 2013, as the 3rd receiver but 4th option. So it’s not too farfetched to think he could crack 800+ as a primary target likely only behind Olsen.  

The real question is who is gonna be the punt returner? WIll Ted Ginn pull double duty, can we afford the risk?

im going over 800. Only 250 more yards than his last season here when he was behind olsen smith and lafell. He average 15 yards per catch that season, so basically one more catch per game. I think he'll get that.

 

Unless Funchess comes out of nowhere as the number 1. That would be grand.

I bet they get another WR to do PR. Maybe Byrd makes the team for this reason alone?

Honestly I feel like with his increased role as both PR and full time WR we'll burn him out and he'll likely catch a small injury mid way through the season. Some kind of pull or something where he's out a couple games. I feel like that's what will keep him from getting that 1k milestone but he certainly has a shot.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
