Yes, technically 1st year, 2 games but... his poor routes and difficulty of learning the playbook last year and dropsies and dislike by Marvin...(yes, he had an injury) not looking too good. I expected him to have 5 TDs by now and make many clutch plays. WE have a great OL, great QB and a great RB to open his potential. Boyd seems like he should have been the 1st RD WR. If we take AJ out of the equation, would you feel Ross could lead the team as the #1 WR... no.  oh yeah, Callaway, hmm.. don't know anything about him. I did hear some of the game last night by radio and I did hear his name often.

Yeah, and monkeys could fly out of my butt.

The only difference between the production of a guy like Calloway and a guy like Ross is they have no one else, so they must give Callaway targets.  After they traded Coleman (former first rounder and got a condtiional 7th in return) and Gordon (9th live expired), they had to give his targets.  He made as many mistakes (or more) as he did receptions.  Sound familiar?  And he played last year in college.  Ross is essentially finding his stuff again after nearly two years of no game action.  

He (Calloway) could end up a very good WR, or he could end up another Josh Gordon.  He has had a LOT of off-field issues, so much so that many teams had him undraftable.  

I think this weekend you will see more quick passes to Ross to be a so-called extension of the running game.  Once he makes one guy miss in space, he will be gone. Look at the two catches he did make.  Fade was taking candy and he made two guys miss in a short dump off.  The kid has great agility to go with his mercurial speed.  

He is due for a bomb TD and screen for 75 yard TD any day now.  I thought it would be the Atlanta game, but who knows?   I am sure it is coming.  

Akili Smith was a drunk and had no desire.  That's not Ross.
