Why exactly do we need John Ross to be good?

To those of you who keep saying we don't need Ross on the field, I'm honestly asking.. did you watch last year? We had pretty much the exact same weapons. The difference was we had Lafell instead of Ross. Do you remember how hard it was to get our receivers open? AJ had a down year because nobody could help to get him open.

I still love the kid personally. Brings some good talent to the field, and he's played 6 games. I'm not giving up hope.

The difference was actually starting out with Ken Zampese's offense, turnstiles at both tackle positions, Blodine blown off the ball into the QB's lap most plays, Jeremy Hill over Joe Mixon, and Piano Man and his blocking scheme for wimps.  Plays simply didn't have time to develop, and Zampese was in WAY over his head.  

Bill Lazor has had an entire offseason to implement his scheme, which plays to his players' strengths and gets people open, and Pollack has totally changed the way we block.....add that Glenn and even Hart are MILES better than the two turds they drafted.  Billy Price is an improvement at Center, and even Hopkins is playing at the position in relief better than Blodine did on most days.

No offense, but I think you're selling the offseason moves and the improved coaching short.
