Where is Ross?

But hell, put me on board for it.  I think Ross is going to be be our 2nd best WR this year...whether that is because Boyd flops or AJ is injured has yet to be seen.  This is Ross' year, and if it isn' then 2020 will be his year for sure.  I truly believe Ross will be the #2 WR in 2020 because AJ and/or Boyd will be gone.


So in summation Ross will break out and prove the doubters wrong in 2019 unless:
1- our new OC is another idiot like Lazor and Zampese
2 - Dalton gets injured and/or flat-out stinks
3 - AJ and Boyd and Mixon and our TE's are too good at taking targets from Ross
4 - ZT is an idiot who won't play Ross/use him right
5 - he's learning a new system and will fully grasp it by 2020 when he will be ready to break out
6 - Ross gets injured and it nags him the whole year and affects his production/speed

We sure spend a lot of time on our number # WR option and number 5 receiving option behind AJ, Boyd, Eifert and pick a RB. Remove the Ross 1st round pick and then put realistic expectations on Ross in year 3. Yes, year 3 or year for a WR to develop into a solid WR in the NFL is more the norm.

Ross showed he can get open in tight spaces near the goal line in 2018 as his TD's were mostly shorter. So, the challenge is how can ZT get the ball in his hands and get him put of bounds (not a big WR) or down in 2019 so he stays healthy. I think he is going to make the naysayers eat their words.

Any WR as the 5th option who can get 600 yards and 8 to 10 TD's is very effective. I could care less ow he was drafted in round 1, it makes no difference as he plays a role on this team. AJ and Boyd are also studs and the ball can only go to 1 player each play.
