I think its safe to say at this point that Ted Ginn is no bust, but it is yet to be determined what kind of long term impact he will have for this franchise.
Something about Ginn has reminded me of Steve Smith ever since he has been drafted, and they have both been used in similar fashions in their respective rookie years. If Ginn continues his ongoing pace at WR, Kick Returner, and Punt Returner, he will exceed all statistical categories from Steve Smiths rookie year.
Season to date, Ginn has 18 receptions for 259 yards and is on pace for 24 receptions, for 350 yards and 1 touchdown. Ginn seems to have good chemistry with Beck, and my forecast actually is a little higher for Ginn over the last 4 games. Based on the last 3 games with Beck at the helm and assuming this trend continues, I am forecasting Ginn to finish with 31 receptions and 400 yards. Ginn has already passed Steve Smiths rookie year of 10 receptions and 154 yards.
Ginn is on pace to finish with 60 kickoff retuns for 1,440 yards and a 24 yard average. Steve Smiths rookie years output was 56 kickoff returns for 1,431 yards and a 26 yard average. Smith also finished with 2 return TDs. It should be noted that Ginn has had 2 TDs this year on kickoff returns that were nulled due to penalties, so at least he is showing the ability to break the big ones.
Ginn is on pace to finish with 20 punt returns for 251 yards. Ginn has had one punt return for a touchdown. Steve Smith finished with 34 punt returns for 364 yards and a 11 yard average compared to Ginns 13 yard average.
Total Projections for Ted Ginn are 111 total touches for 2,091 yards and a 19 yard average which is comparable to Steve Smiths 100 touches and 1,949 yards and 19 yard average.
Hopefully, Ted Ginns career will progress to that of Steve Smiths level over the next five years.
