"Unguardable"

Perhaps, but I think a lot of the "hands" and "head" arguments are getting tired, like the Bengals in 2006 having so many arrests and thanks to the effort of many (PFT, ESPN, Blah Blah Blah) some will still parrot that lame argument today....14 years later.  

Here is what Ross did in 8 games last year:

28 receptions, 506 yards, 3 TDs.  

What he did NOT do was stay healthy for an entire 16 game season.  But, he did that without AJ Green on the field.  And he did it despite being often underthrown by Dalton.  It isn't so much his hands or his mental status as just being healthy at this point.  If you project those numbers across 16 games, you would have 56 receptions, 1012 yards, and 6 TDs, which we would all take from our #2 or arguably #3 WR.
