Should we use Ginn more, and work him into the O more?

I would love this as well. I believe Mike Johnson will work Ginn into the offense as (Johnson) gets to understand Ginn, as well as everyone else on offense. Molding the play-calling to utilize & maximize the talent we have.

He's showing more receiving skills than many expected...not just a deep threat, he can catch the slant and get good YAC. His returning skills are very good...he'll bust one soon. BL: there's more to Ginn than he showed in Miami. Most definitely, he needs the ball in his hands a lot more.

I am a big fan of Ginn, the more he gets the rock the more that can happen.

Agree i don't believe he has dropped one yet!
Why yes with Alex Smiths pin point accuracy on the DEEEEEEP ball, hell yes, I mean Alex can wing that bad boy 10, 15, even 18 yards deeeeeep! to Ginn! I say we cut ALL of our skill guy except VD Frank and Byum, and use to roster space for more Tight Ends and Backs, that way every one will be running a "Dump off" route, and at least we will have the size to get a little R.A.C.

I've seen enough of Morgan and it ain't a pretty sight. Insert Ginn and Ziggy so that we can get a reciever who can get quicker separation. Morgan is slow and takes forever to get open.

I thought the Niners were set at WR. Now I'm not so sure. Morgan needs to be replaced.
zeigler should be the #2 and Gin or Hill can fight for #3. Morgan shouldn't even be in the NFL.
Ginn needs to be used more, practice practice practice man. Need to use him in the game to get him up. Otherwise it was a waste of a pick for him just being on returns.
Only after he has to run laps for that pathetic I hear footsteps/alligator arms/duck from the game against Carolina.

yeah i mean we haven't lost a game on a dropped catch in the endzone yet...i say bust em out!
Ginn is useless he can't get open everytime we throw to him he has more men on him than a $100.00 Hooker.

They are not using him properly. He needs to be used in reverses, end arounds, slants, slot, but not as a possession receiver like the one on the sidelines where he couldn't catch the ball.

His plays should consist of catch on the run.

We need more Ziegler on third downs. Get him ACROSS the first down marker and let him go get it.

Stop with throwing the check down 5 or any yards from the first down marker! I remember Madden being so irate at 3rd down play calls where the receiver didn't go over the first down marker. Instead, he would turn his route beforehand.

WTH is up with that!!!

Go beyond the first and catch. Is that too much to as...uh, wait. NVM.

Sorry the guy sucked for the Dolphins, and why exactly would he turn it around here, with Jerry Sullivan as his position coach? J Sullivan is awful, all our wide outs seem to do is get worse while they are here.

Morgan good looking rookie find, then Awful
Crabtree amazing, no camp no practice and he rocks it, one off season with J Sullivan...

We have not developed a single receiver since J Sullivan got here, how is Ted Ginn going to improve over what he was in Miami?

Kick returner yes, wide out NO, give his touches to Crabtree, Morgan, or Ziggy.

No need to apologize for your position, man. I see it. I don't agree.

I have witnessed his ability to cause some damage on the field in the offense. You just have to utilize him correctly.

Again, possession receiver he's not, not even close.
