^^ I agree, and mentioned Ginn as a counter-example of hyperbole.  Spider's comment was that if you have 1 guy who's really good at even only 1 thing, he's worth keeping.  My counter example was Ted Ginn was really good at precisely 1 thing, and was NOT worth keeping.

That's where the comparison ends, though.

Personally I thought Ginn was worth keeping and the Dolphins traded him away for too little.  But that was mistake #2.  A guy that is ONLY a great PR/KR is not worth a first round pick.

Thank you Hoodie. You nailed it. Ginn shoould have NEVER been an overall 9 pick. Not his fault. However, because he was unable to live up to the pick, he was considered a bust. I follow Ohio State somewhat (born a Buckeye) and the knock on Ted was he was not a good route runner. He got away with it in college, but not here.

Worth the pick or not, he's on your team.  You don't get rid of a guy because he was a high pick 4 years ago, unless his salary makes it prohibitive.  If he has a skill, you utilize it because he's on your roster.

Ginn's problem was he was the last one to show up to practice. First one to leave. And he fell asleep through alot of team meetings it came out after he left.

They couldn't keep him around because his teammates didn't respect a high paid guy like that and his behavior. He wasn't liked by many of his teammates in Miami .

He also was scared of getting hit.
