Being inactive was too dangerous for Ross

Something like "what do you want me to do, bench Chad?" God forbid you get them out there for even a play or two, huh Marv? 

When Jerome finally got significant playing time the last two games of 2010, he played very well. Well enough that all of us wondered why Marvin kept him off the field all that time. Granted, Jerome never became a great receiver but he played well enough to show that benching him for his first two seasons was unwarranted. I have a feeling it will be the same thing with Ross, once our next HC gets him some playing time.

Also, I don't believe for one second that Ross is injured. I already know that the team either lied or greatly exaggerated about his earlier injury this year, looks like it's happening again. I don't understand what Marv has against Ross, we likely never will. But Marv is making his inevitable exit that much sweeter

Except Jerome was benched not due to lack of talent, but due to lack of intelligence. The guy couldn't learn the playbook for the life of him and Carson didn't want a WR who didn't know what route to run, where to go, and what to do.

Said lack of intelligence was on brutal display when the guy gets a ton of weed delivered to him in the freaking mail.

You can be as talented as you want, but you have to have at least a moderate amount of intelligence, of at least the football variety, to back it up.

If you don't believe for a second Ross is injured, then you're in for a rude awakening. Torn labrum (again), getting surgery and is on the IR.

Conspiracy theory bunked.
