John Ross is an absolute bust

Nobody is saying Ross can't or doesn't need to improve, but to be declaring a 2nd year WR that scored 7 TD's a bust is just silly.

I've never said he was a bust. I just don't understand all the excuses and wrong reasons. We heard a parade of excuses after last season (where he was complaining about not getting on the field, then lied about being injured), now again this year.

Last year it was that he was inactive so he wasn't getting any reps so how could he advance. This year it's he was forced into service so he couldn't advance. Complete illogical statements, both of them.

Here's a link to the average targeted air yards by receiver.

Notice that Ross is well down the list. Tyreek Hill is targeted for an average of 14.7 yards, which is further out than Ross get targeted. What I like about Ross is that he has developed into a decent red zone threat.
