49ers WR Ted Ginn, "I Can Still Be An Elite Receiver"

Ted Ginn may not have been a great receiver for the Dolphins, but he was a great person. Ginn was classy in victory and defeat, in good times and bad. He just spoke on a conference call and rather than taking any shots at the Dolphins or the fans that gave him a tough time, he stayed classy. "I think I can still be an elite receiver," he said. "I don't think that I sell off at all. I just believe that special teams is one of the assets I have in my game. I'm just going to come in and do both."

Don't you have to be an elite receiver in the first place in order to still be one?

 

He has a lot of work to do to get there.

 

Well he does know that some niner fans love drinking kool-aid (i.e. the Alex Smith situation).

I just wish those two (Ginn and Alex) would try to become elite players at the expense of some other FO's investment of time and money.

 

If you use it in that context, but as you already knew he meant the potiential is still there.

 

Yeah, I'm a smart butt. Just saying he hasn't come close to living up to that potential. But you already knew that too. He's worth a shot for a 5th round pick. No Santonio Holmes though.

 

I wish that Ginn would've lived up to his potential. He came in with VERY high expectations after the Fins did not draft Brady Quinn in that #9 pick that year.

So, for his sake, I hope he has a good rest of his career. But, it wasn't meant to be here in South Florida for Ginn.
