I've been reluctant to jump on the Ross-hating bandwagon. I'd hoped he'd be a DeSean Jackson type of player for us. When you see his tape from college, he doesn't some off as a one-trick-pony kind of WR. His routes were acceptably good and his feet were a blur when he ran. Reminded me of watching Chad run.
I hate that this team seems to have whiffed on their highest pick in quite some time. That's another reason that losing faith in him sucks. I'm not sure what his deal is. Maybe he doesn't have a passion for the game anymore. Maybe he doesn't like being in Cincinnati. Maybe he's just not that good. I have no clue. I think the natural talent and football ability are probably there with him. What seems to be missing is the want-to and work ethic/application of effort. His mistakes aren't about talent or physical ability. They're about poor awareness and understanding of what to do in games.
