I agree 100%, but when I called it MVP, I was trying to take in to account what that individual's impact would be on the entire offense.  Dalton can't improve the running game by himself, no matter how efficient he is at the short passing game.


  I voted Ross because I feel like he will do a number of things by himself:

- Slow down the pass rush
- Take the proverbial top off the defense
- Score points with simple routes that he breaks a tackle (a TD nearly every 5 times he touched the ball in college is sick)
- Help the running game by having safeties play off
- Help the slot WR and TE by pulling defenders deep
- Convert easy 3rd and 5s because of defenders playing off coverage

Now, if Ross was already here and AJ Green was the new addition, I could argue all those things for AJ because he would be the new piece that would be helping to transform this offense from effective to electric.  

It doesn't work without Andy.  He is the leader that had the elite season going with solid weapons around him in 2015 before the injury.  Ross is the missing piece of the puzzle and why the offense will soar to new heights this season.  I have been calling for a player like him for some time, and now the best example of what our team needed was our first round pick and I can't wait to see it work.
