I never said the guy is bad, I'm just assuming there is a reason he isn't on the field other than Marvin Lewis is intentionally trying to put us in a position to fail.
If Marvin is way too gung ho to not play rookies, some people in these parts are way too eager to shake things up for the sake of shaking things up. If Ross is as good as he should be, even a coach as stupid as Marvin Lewis will be able to see it eventually. Right?
Ross was never injured. Again, I'm 90% sure of that so that narrative is out the window for me. There is some ulterior motive Marvin has for not playing him. I don't know what reasons he has, but I'm guessing they're either personal or Marv is still punishing him for that fumble. In any case, there is no good reason not to get Ross on the field for at least a few plays. None.
It wouldn't shock me at all if Ross was looking stellar in practice and Marv still decided to leave him out of the gameplan. I don't think Marv is necessarily that stupid (debatable), but I do think he is that stubborn.
