Desean Jackson or Ted Ginn Jr?

TouchdownUSC · 06-13-2007, 11:54 PM

if desean jackson and ted ginn jr were in the same draft, who would you select first?

jbeans187 · 06-14-2007, 12:01 AM

Similar players, but DeSean is definetly the better all around wr

Jackson for me. Better route runner, I think he's faster.

TouchdownUSC · 06-14-2007, 12:09 AM

i voted jackson too. wouldnt suprise me if ginn ever makes a position change to corner back in the nfl either

I remember a similar thread recently, actually it asked the exact same thing with a poll also. Search before you make.

I voted Ted Ginn Jr by the way.

Paranoidmoonduck · 06-14-2007, 01:01 AM

Jackson by a mile.

TouchdownUSC · 06-14-2007, 01:31 AM

my bad, i only remember seeing a peterson vs. mcfadden one

Caddy · 06-14-2007, 02:38 AM

Both are similar players and offer similar positives and negatives but at this point in time I'm leading towards Ted Ginn. Once Jackson gets another year under his belt then I may very well change my mind.

You mean this one?

The one where you twice commented on the absence of a poll? Interesting.

Very interesting indeed.

There should be an option for neither.

ElectricEye · 06-14-2007, 09:27 AM

Jackson. A bit skinny, but more developed as a receiver already.

ill take jackson simply because he is more of a reciever at this stage of his career... and he is younger than ginn... so i take him

Jackson can be a #1 WR in the league Ginn will be lucky to be a good slot WR.

keylime_5 · 06-14-2007, 09:49 PM

I am positive that in a passing style Jeff Tedford offense that Ted Ginn would've put up even better numbers than Jackson. Freakin' Goeff McArthur had great numbers in that system as well as about a dozen other crappy WRs. Ginn's highlight film was better, and he made big plays in big games at WR and KR/PR. Ginn is bigger and his hands aren't any worse than Jackson's. Can't really compare their routes, neither was asked to run anything complicated. Ginn is better to date, but Jackson has another year before you can really compare their college careers. It doesn't hurt for Ginn that he is bigger AND faster than Jackson (and less of a jerk, but let's not get into that)

Ginn for me, and by quite a margin.

Acreboy · 06-14-2007, 10:07 PM

Jackson, better WR.

holtfan92 · 06-14-2007, 10:39 PM

Jackson is better. He knows how to run routes and can actually be a #1 or #2 option on a team in the NFL.

It seems that the people that actually have watched Ginn, picked Ginn.

There is not one person who frequents this site that hasn't seen Ginn. You can't definitively say the same about Jackson. The disparity of national exposure between the two is actually quite vast.

I think what you meant to say was "It seems that the people who have only watched Ginn, picked Ginn."

Do I smell bacon?

Edit: I was hoping someone wouldn't say that.

You think Jackson is faster?? Oh well that solves everything.... I am a believer now! Ginn is faster than Jackson by quite a margin. Jackson may be shiftier, but there is no one except maybe Champ and Deion in his prime that could run stride for stride with Ted Ginn Jr. He was invited to the Olympics as a sprinter his sophomore year I believe... maybe even before he got to Ohio State, I can't remember. People forgot that there was talk before his injury that he would break Deions 40 at the combine. Jackson is a more polished reciever, but Ginn is more of a gamebreaker at this point. Ginn has only played reciever for two years, give him time, Jackson came to Cal as a 5 star wideout, Ginn came to OSU as a 5 star DB. Jackson is more a polished reciever?? What a shocker! There's already been a thread about this anyway... great job!

I meant game speed, calm down. Ginn is not more of a gamebreaker. Jackson can actually run more than 5 patterns. Let's see:

Ginn 59/781/9 (with the Heisman winner throwing to him) 19 PR for 238 yards 1 TD 9 KR for 240 yards 1 TD

Jackson 59/1060/9 25 PR for 455 yards and 4 TD Only returned 2 kicks but for 40 yards

Jackson is faster game speed wise, Ginn is a glorified track star. Oddly enough, you didn't comment on the fact that I said he's a better route runner.
