John Ross is an absolute bust

But being a top 10 pick, you're going to get high expectations.
Mike Williams and Corey Davis are finally getting their legs churning.


I don't believe Ross is the main reason for them tanking. But I do believe that it plays a factor. As does Eifert's injury and the fact that Dalton spends the least amount of time in the pocket among qualifying quarterbacks.

Ross helps with over the top and there's instances where he's cleared out defenders because of his speed.

Not many other players bring fear to DCs. Some may argue Core with his speed. But he's been lackluster and has even been given chances, but he still has 0 catches. So not many defenders are going to be afraid of Core.

Lazor needs to adjust some stuff. The offense started off hot and is now starting to spiral. 44 points in their last three games is not good. That's less than 15 PPG

There have been some things that were shown by him I don't like.

He quit on some routes, and got jammed when Dalton did throw deep to him occasionally.

I do believe the O-Line affects the ability to actually use him more frequently on some deep routes.

Dalton loves him some AJ and the others run shorter higher percentage routes so Ross is probably low on his reads.


I'm not ready to give up on him or call him a bust just yet.

The injuries are real and not just message board opinions.

It is a point of concern.
