John Ross is an absolute bust

Erickson, Core, and Malone has been on the field for a combined 248 snaps.

John Ross has 79 receiving yards and 7 receptions.
The other 3 have a combined 81 receiving yards and 11 receptions.

Ross has 2 TDs.
The other three have 0.

John Ross is tied for 3rd for receiving TDs on this team, despite missing games.

Fact is; the Bengals offense has looked way better with him on the field than without him.
The Bengals offense scored 13 points against the Dolphins without him. They scored 21 points against the Steelers. And while he only played basically a quarter, the offense only scored 10 against the Chiefs.

To believe that John Ross doesn't help this offense out is ludicrous and goes against film.

Some can argue "Well eventually they'll leave Ross one on one and dare the Bengals to beat them deep".
How is that a negative?
Four of Ross' catches have gone for first downs. Two are touchdowns.
Only one catch didn't go for a touchdown or first down.

Don't forget that they had Eifert out there for the first 4 games as well, until he got hurt in Atlanta. Up until then he had 15 catches, 179 yards, and 1 td. Missing Eifert since then has played a factor as to why the offense is tanking, and imo he was more vital than Ross.

Regardless, the offense currently has AJ Green, of the top receivers in the league. Tyler Boyd has become one of the better number 2 receivers in the league. Joe Mixon, who some think can be a superstar someday, in the backfield. And then Andy Dalton, an 8 year veteran who should be at the top of his game.

If the offense is tanking because it is missing John frikkin Ross, then this offense has some serious issues starting at the top with Lazor and perhaps even Dalton as well.
