Ted Ginn has been the most pleasant surprise this season. When we brought him in some people wondered why he never played offense for the 49ers. Some people said he was only a return man. Well he is playing some great receiver this year. It's not just the 13 catches for 243 yards. He's blocking like Steve and there hasn't been a single memorable or untimely drop. We thought he would run 9 routes all day but he's been great over the middle. Ted Ginn deserves some praise for the way he plays WR.

 

Now about the return game. It's hard to watch the TV and know what exactly is going on but we haven't seen signs of the big one. Maybe it's our scheme or blocking. Maybe it's the way our opponents punt the ball. He is averaging a little under 10 yards on punts and I hope they can work that out. Not really blaming anyone but It's notable.

Teddy blew that dude up on Brandon Laffell's TD run.  He looked like Steve Smith laying some wood.

 

Ginn has been great.  Bad hands?  What bad hands?  He has caught just about everything coming his way .

 

An he will break a punt return for big one soon.  He just hasn't had many good opportunities yet.

Ted has been solid. And it's just a matter of time before he busts an 70yd punt return & high steps into the end zone.

Glad he finally has a good QB to play with.

Yes he did and that is getting all the attention, but it wasn't even the best thing he did on that play. All the talk about how he is a deep threat and how it will open up our offense has come true. LaFell was open on that play 100% because Ginn drew the coverage away from him by running the deep post.

      My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

      Can we all admit it now?

      I never said he had a good game in the Denver game.  As you said we had a good first drive ending in Bryce throwing a slant to XL for a TD.  It was garbage time but the back shoulder throw to Coker for the late TD was a great throw.   Throws like these in bad games are why I say he "can" do it and has the physical tools.  The question is can he do it consistently, continue to improve, grow and become our QB of the future.  Up to this point that was a hard no but with a new head coach and Bryce in his 2nd year it was 100% the right call to play out the year and see if he got better.  He did.   Two games into this year is still more of the up and down quality of play and coaching but there is still plenty of potential and we have 16 more games to decide if it's worth it to continue down this path. I don't know what will happen but I know cutting him or benching him now makes zero sense on any level. I said of those last 10 games we were only blown out in 2 of them.  I'll concede the Denver game was a blow out.  So 3 blowout loses and 7 competitive games, 4 of which we won, all decided by less than a TD.  Sounds like a team growing, improving and getting better.  All I want to do is see where that leads and if those examples of starting NFL level quarterbacking can continue to improve and become more consistent.   Anyone with pride would retire?  Laughable.  Do all of you quit in your daily lives every time things get tough or don't go your way?
