Drops are one thing, but outright quitting on routes and contributing to two INTs directly will make a QBs confidence in you falter a bit. To Dalton's credit, he went right back to him at Atlanta, and went to him at KC until he came up lame again.
Well yeah, quitting on routes is indefensable.
I just don't like the idea of quitting on our top 10 pick this early...

The injuries he is suffering are almost always different. Arm, ankle, groin, etc. It's when it happens over and over that it becomes a true problem.
This.

Of course they do, they are two of the biggest playmakers in the NFL.
Just saying the size thing is not an issue with Ross getting injured as these guys don't get injured that
much and they are smaller.

Erickson, Core, and Malone has been on the field for a combined 248 snaps.
John Ross has 79 receiving yards and 7 receptions.
The other 3 have a combined 81 receiving yards and 11 receptions.
Ross has 2 TDs.
The other three have 0.
John Ross is tied for 3rd for receiving TDs on this team, despite missing games.
Fact is; the Bengals offense has looked way better with him on the field than without him.
The Bengals offense scored 13 points against the Dolphins without him. They scored 21 points against the Steelers. And while he only played basically a quarter, the offense only scored 10 against the Chiefs.
To believe that John Ross doesn't help this offense out is ludicrous and goes against film.
Some can argue "Well eventually they'll leave Ross one on one and dare the Bengals to beat them deep".
How is that a negative?
Four of Ross' catches have gone for first downs. Two are touchdowns.
Only one catch didn't go for a touchdown or first down.
Great post Wolf.
