Stop underestimating our receivers

In my opinion, I didn't count on Ross to be a huge contributor this year. Maybe on some gadget plays and other ways to take advantage of his speed, but not as a straight up receiver.

The point is, is that I feel like a lot of guys on this roster are undervalued. Brandon Lafell had a GOOD year last year and hes more than capable of being a really good number 2 receiver. Tyler Boyd is only going to be better than last year and I expect him to have some what of a break out year. Eiffert is one of the best tight ends in the league and we all know what AJ is capable of.

This team has other weapons without Jon Ross. He is a complete luxury at this point and the season isn't going to fall apart because hes hurt.

Excellent points. I'm not too worried about the (probably temporary) loss of a guy who (most likely) wasn't going to see a ton of play. This isn't 2011 and this isn't a diluted corps. Even if Ross doesn't touch the field this season, we've got a strong group of receivers.
