Wow! I started a fight...settle down everyone! Kyle is a young kid with too much pressure on him at that time in his life. What is he? 22-23? Yes, he was groomed for this from day one. Can you imagine millions of people watching you and 11 guys trying to kill you on special teams and you HAVE to catch that ball? (Hang on to the ball, don't fumble, make a play...everybody's watching you) the kid had to be scared out of his freaking mind! yeah yeah, i know...that's his job! but that is HUGE responsibility for a young man.
Having said that, he shouldn't be in the big game because as they always say, "Great players aren't always great, they're only great when they have to be!" like Joe Cool

So you want me to take away the biggest game of his life? Or better yet the biggest game that this franchise has played in since 1997? Ted Ginn has a better value to this team than Kyle Williams
Ginn didnt cost the super bowl Kyle Williams did. He will forever be known as the man that cost us the sixth ring, right along with Roger Craig but at least Craig was a good player prior to that. Williams is nothing but a bench warmer.
Ginn is not as good of a WR as Kyle...and it's not close. Kyle is not as good of a KR/PR as Ginn and it's not close.
I think Ginn has a better chance of making the team. But if Kyle makes it, good for him. I just want the best WRs on the team.

Looks to me like Ginn is more reliable

Aside from that dreadful "drop" where the ball bounced off Ginn's facemask for an INT, I was reasonably pleased with Ginn's catching on underneath routes. It was the deeper ones where his speed was rather useless... other than possibly clearing out for the others. I liked Kyle's ability to pluck the ball at times though. I thought and still think he can improve and be a good # 3, but if he doesn't make the 53, I wouldn't be all that upset.

he's making the 53 on return abilities alone. The guy is sure-handed unlike #10 who catches punts with his knees

Looks like you thought I was talking about Ginn regarding the now underlined. I wasn't.. was talking about Kyle there.

Long after the game, watching that unbearable PR play, I , like a lot of others,, felt sorry for the kid(see the news headlines above). Kyle obviously feels terrible, and you know he is thinking , "How can i make it up to these guys?" Actually I think he will. One other thing and that is , our rookie coach learned a lesson about NFC football in the rain and slop. You didn't see Coughlin having his PR guys returning any punts if they were down near the end of their field. If they didn't go into the End Zone (and not many did) he just had his PR guys field the ball. Nothing more, nothing less. I noted that and wondered at the time, but it is now obvious, he had his PR guys fielding punts but not trying any runbacks. Sure seemed stupid at the time, but we all got the point afterwards. Obviously, Coach Harbaugh learned a valuable lesson there. And I bet it applies to Ginn in similar situations this yr, if in the playoffs and the slop. Trying to field a windblown sloppy mudball in the wind and rain at Candlestick, is like trying to catch a greased pig. Don't look for any more PR in playoffs down near our end of the field if it is sloppy. Period.
Bottom line? there was more than one person guilty here, and he and kyle both learned their lessons. Let's all move on.

No it wasn't Harbaughs fault that Kyle couldn't stay away from a punt, or hang onto the next one, or run a simple reverse without fumbling.

Dude as long as him "bouncing back" has nothing to do with anything "bouncing back" off of his knee then I am all for it. I wouldn't mind seeing him bounce off to another team to be honest with you.
