HIGGINS and TATE Cheers

Is Ross good?  No.  However, he can find the end zone and our red zone offense has been awful.  Do we need a red zone threat or another possession receiver right now?  

Your “flipping out” remark was in response to a post I made, and I’ve never once compared him to anyone, let alone any of those guys. I’ve also never suggested he’s anything more than a solid weapon to go along with the much more versatile receivers like Boyd and AJ.
