The Bengals don't and Ross sure ain't one of them.

Ross got his chances because either.
A. No better option.
B. The team felt obligated to keep him on the field till it clicked for him based on his draft position.

I don't actually think A is the reason as I think we had a better receiver in Tate sitting behind him last season.

So that leaves B.

The thing is things didn't click and now he's on the bench again where he belongs.

Ross sucks.

Bengals don't have 4 better options than Thomas?
I count 4 - Boyd, Higgins, Green, Tate.
5 if you include Ross (which I would).

Personally, I think Thomas is similar to Erickson. Both have low ceilings, but both put in effort. Ross has shown he's far more dynamic than either of those guys has ever shown, but Ross's production comes in spurts due to drops, concentration, injuries, and sometimes effort.

I get why you and others don't like Ross. However, the Bengals will not win games based on the performance of Thomas or Erickson. Ross has the ability to have 100+ yard games at times throughout the year. I don't believe Erickson or Thomas will ever have that kind of game.
