Uh...ALL of these guys were drafted in '07 like Ginn. Bowe, Meachem and Gonzalez were drafted in the first round like he was.
Keep in mind, he accumulated this stuff as the focal point of our passing attack. HE has been the guy the other team doubles. Now they don't have that luxury, because Marshall will eat single coverage like a pizza.
I would like to see Ginn stick around. I think he just might blossom without the 'he's got to be the #1 guy' pressure.
Those numbers are nothing to write home about, but I'm actually surprised because they look respectable to the other guy's numbers. You hear nothing but negativity about Ginn, and he deserves a lot of it, but he isn't quite as horrid as many people on this board think he is. I think he has played the goat more often than deserved, even if he has deserved it many times. Without the pressure of being 'Mr. It', Ginn may actually flourish. I don't think we are going to get better than a 6th for him, and frankly for that, I wouldn't want to lose his return skills and the potential for the deep ball. I think he ends up staying here unless the front office is desperate to get rid of him at
any cost.
