Ginn has earned his reputation for drops. This year he had the 2nd most drops in the NFL (10) and the worst drop % of any WR with more than 30 catches:

Here's a funny video made by a Dolfan that highlights some of his ugliest drops:
He has terrible hands and that's a primary reason he only started 5 of 72 games from 2010 through 2014. He's been viewed as a return specialist/4th WR for 5 years now. The Panthers are only leaning on him out of necessity. He's made some plays, but he's only made a catch on 45.4% of his targets (that's an AWFUL percentage) with the worst drop % among WR's. He's not a good starting option. Period.
You really have bought into the media hype. I bet you think the Bengals are dirty players too.
I remember one year where Green had the highest drops in the AFC north. Must make him a terrible WR.
Ginn has solid hands and is best used as a deep threat WR. His hands are so good that he is on the Hands team, he has been used as a punt and kickoff returner. Can't have terrible hands to be on those jobs.
His biggest knock is his route running ability. He doesn't run good routes, but hey, you go ahead and focus on his hands. Since he is a speedster he is the guy that you send out deep, just because he is going deep doesn't mean he is the primary target, however the defenses don't know that, so they have to account for him. Which means the primary WR will be open. However, if the primary isn't open and Newton doesn't think he can get it to him, he doesn't see Ginn deep, he takes off running.
Seriously if Ginn was so bad and terrible, the Panthers would have lost more games. Cam doesn't make Ginn catch passes if he has a drop problem. That is something that can't be fixed by other players. Logic isn't on your side in this. PERIOD.
