Nice
You are 'conversing' with me--not 'you guys' or 'your buddies'.
I say that Ginn will end up being a decent player, but as a high 1st round pick, he will be viewed as a failure.
I never said that first down receptions will be Welker's game--Welker is a possession receiver--excellent routes, good hands, reliable, hard working. You might remember the guy from last year when he caught more passes than Booker or Chambers.
I would rather give the ball to the guy that has shown that he can catch 50+ passes in an NFL season, can run a route like clockwork and can take a hit. A player that has SHOWN that he can get it done at the NFL level. So yes, until 'electrifying' is a statistic that yields first downs and points, I'll take the slot receiver whose PRO career can be measured and referred to.
A proven NFL player v. a proven College player?
I suspect that, if the college player was drafted by the Miami Dolphins, you'd make that mistake every time.
That's all fine. But I saw Ginn make a catch, get whacked and hang on for the first down. I saw him adjust his route when the QB was on the run and make the catch for a first down. I saw him hit a block on a DB that sprung Cleo Lemon to scramble for a first down. Any one that questions his toughness just hasn't seen him play.
