The TD catch was great, but I thought his best play was coming back to Andy on the sidelines. He was a blur and to get both feet in was great! Just proved what I had been thinking all week, to much thinking and not enough just reacting to the play.

If Ross turns into a weapon for Andy along with AJ and Boyd look out.

Yep, and played hurt too. Folks were right to be down on him for giving up on routes, but the talent is there. He just needs to go out there with a blank mind and play ball.

Good turn around for him and kudos to Andy for having confidence to throw his way after quitting on his routes last week.

And let's not forget, he's basically a rookie and still learning to play in the NFL.

He performed great, and tried to play through injury to show the coaches and players that he's worth it (not that they doubted it like some here do).
Ross is fine. I think he has a great shot of being an amazing receiver in the NFL. That speed is just too hard to match up with.

That toe drag swag was great. Reminded me of Chad.

All the people who said we should of benched him are awfully quiet now. Clearly was a huge overreaction and group-think agenda. Glad our coaches and players were level headed and still showed confidence in him. It payed off.

Feels to me like every good day he has out there paves the way for even better days. He will probably still have negatives but the positive will outweigh them. He is still far from the best he can be, just getting started and his best will be well worth the wait and it is coming. Once he conquers reliable, (and he's getting there), he will display the ability to dazzle and amaze.

No, I stand by what I said. Quitting on routes should get you benched until you figure it out. He had a good game. Let's see if he can put 2 together back to back.... (hopefully so.)

If you bench him, how does he get it figured out?
And maybe, just maybe, the QB doesn't throw to a 5'11" guy with three defenders around him.
Also, with all due respect, I'm glad it wasn't your call to make.

You figure it out by sitting until it gets in your brain that if you quit on routes, you don't play.

How would you ever know he understands without letting him go out on the field and prove it?

As Marv said yesterday "We have a lot of young players, and sometimes we will play like it"
With the right coaches, which I think we now have in all positions we can turn out to be a great team for a number of years.

I didn't say "Benched forever"..... sometimes a quarter or a half or a game sends the message....
