And let's not forget how at least 5 TDS passes from 35+ yards where he was wide open and our qb underthrew him by 10+ yards. And u mention catch percentage but let's not forget he also had the worst catchable ball percentage in the league by a ton. Out of his what 60 targets I believe it was only 33 percent of his targets were deemed catchable. And our of those 33 percent of catchable balls he caught 66 percent of them. He has to show up between the 20s this year no doubt. Is he a bust where he was drafted? Yes. But he's not a bust as far as a normal draft pick. Year 3 is always the breakout year for wrs anyways. He can be an elite wr2. As far as Sanu he was never worth  as much as he wanted. And Jones wanted the opportunity to be a wr1. We offered the exact same contract.
There are wr1s in the draft for the first time in a few years. 2 in particular really grab ur eye and one that won't go till rd2 bc of the injury. Do Metcalf and nkeal Harry. As far as Ross, his catchable ball percentage was 33 percent 66 percent of those he caught. I'm expecting about 650-700 yards and 12 TDS.

When fans have to come up with lots of excuses for a player it is the player who is the problem. Ross couldn't get on the field in his rookie year because he was a healthy inactive for many games. Getting injured later was just an excuse to the failed year. AJ Green, Marvin Jones, Sanu and Boyd didn't have those problems with Marvin Lewis while Ross clearly did.

Ross is now one of several Bengals players who are going to have to show up much improved for the new coaching staff. At least he'll get a chance.
