Why exactly do we need John Ross to be good?

If Ross can actually utilize his speed, run the right routes, make good decisions and have reliable hands he takes this offense to a completely different level.

Because he either takes the top off the defense or keeps the lid raised enough to open up the rest of our offense.   Just his presence I, I think, has helped open up the middle of the defense.   If he starts catching the ball consistently on the long throws it changes everything.

But if he continues to drop balls, quit on his routes and not defend his QB it will result in defenses clamping down the middle.
