Take away John Ross and this team has been hard to watch. That being said not to be that guy but the 2nd TD vs Seattle gets intercepted just as much as it gets caught that was on the safety and the one against the niners was in garbage time. It’s a start but i want to see how he’s doing after 6 games

May be cheaper to seek professional services a wife provides versus marrying them all

Yet, he is not on the list? I am not disputing the Ross drops, just others that are missing.
To me, if you get both hands on the ball, it is a drop if you do not secure it. I am not saying diving catches, but normal catch.

I agree with what you define a drop as too. I think if the DB pokes the ball out, it's not a drop.

Why is it too little, too late? He hasn't even played through half his contract if his 5th year option is picked up. And it's not like him playing well would have made the Bengals a playoff contender the past two seasons anyway.

So? Dropped passes are fine as long as the player is producing.

Only if he's "producing" enough to offset his drops.  Which he's not.  Dropped passes kill drives.

If Ross and his stats are so impressive, why is he graded just above average? (69.4 @PFF receiving grade)

Drops continue to be an issue for Ross-- even on what should be routine catches. Through two weeks, Ross leads the NFL with 4 drops and his 26.7% drop rate is 6th-highest. pic.twitter.com/6GUlSkZ5LY

He's leading the league in receiving yards and tied for the lead in receiving TDs. How is that not producing enough?

Wthat would be producing enough to offset his drops?

Because PFF stands for Post Faulty Findings.

3 catches and 7 touchdowns on every pass play.

What will his statistics be when AJ Green comes back? Will AJ Green come back to this team?

Of course.

JR is garbage.

Marvin sure wasn't going to let us find out.

One step forward, two steps back.

Let’s relax on the trade AJ silliness.

After two games thanks entirely to one meaningless long touchdown reception in garbage time. 

(09-22-2019, 02:06 AM)TheUberHuber Wrote: Wthat would be producing enough to offset his drops?

Enough to produce wins instead of putting the team out of games in the first half so that he ends up padding his stats in the second half with meaningless receptions and touchdowns.

I'd like as much as anyone for Ross to turn out to be a great player.  I'd love to be wrong on this.  But if you look at the reality of his performance it's clear that if Green were starting Ross would have no more touches and no more touchdowns than in his previous games.  But he'd probably still be dropping 50% of his touches.

Ross is thinking too much again. Someone needs to slap the thinking out of his head to avoid more dropsies.
