On most other teams Ginn would be benched...

No. Im not about to go on a Ted Ginn rant. I'm just going to say that the guy got very little playing time prior to joining the Panthers for a reason. we all know why that is. Don't know why Ron keeps him in the games, whether he feels that Ted will eventually break one or its because there isn't much in the way of options. Whatever the reason, I give Ron props for sticking with Ted, he proved tonight that speed still kills you.

Even dropping the balls, Ginn brings to our offense respect for the deep ball.  It's games like today which keeps teams from consistently putting 8 in the box against us.  All though he dropped the balls, the film will show blowing the doors off of CB's.  That is important in what we do.

Most of the time hes the only guy on the field who can keep the defense from being able to disregard anything that happens more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.  Even if he drops more than he should at least he's keeping the defense honest over the top which opens things up for the other guys.

Ginn can take the top off the defense. They can't assume he's gonna drop it. What that does is, it spreads out the coverage and can open up things underneath. He can drop it 10 times in a game but that one catch still means 6 pts. Think about all the times our defense, which is VERY good, got beat long this year? Desean Jackson, Brandin Cooks, etc, these guys pressure the deep ball every play by just being on the field. Ginn is that guy.

The same Ted Ginn that everyone pretty much unanimously agreed provided that spark the Panthers offense and special teams was missing last year.

Ginn provides something that the defense must account for and that's his speed which can take the top off the defense and open things up for everybody else.

Brenton Bersin is a very nice possession receiver, but he doesn't provide any explosion to the offense whatsoever and doesn't stretch the field for Olsen over the middle.

The Panthers know what they have (and don't have) with Ted Ginn. Cam's best attribute as the leader of this offense that has allowed it to improve all year is the ability to always trust his guys, no matter the circumstances.

Good point.  We are 24-4 in the regular season with Tedd Ginn.

He keeps the defense honest at least...I sort of like the fugin bravado we have by keep on going to him...it's like we're like..."He's not going to drop all of them so boom do it" and they just keep on tossing it lol.

Seriously though if we draft a Cooks or John Brown of our own...poo...(and no Brown is not that)

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
