Honestly, it all comes down to how much people like a player. Ross will have to do WAY more than Marvin Jones or say...Cody Core (fan favorites) to win certain people over. It's a lot like what Dalton has gone through. Different (higher) standards because people don't want to like the pick.

Btw, to put Marvin Jones' injuries in perspective, Eifert missed 19 games his first 3 seasons. 2 less games missed than Eifert.

Jones was a fifth round pick. Most fans weren't expecting him to be good right out of the gate like a first rounder, so you don't really "notice" the missed games.
