John Ross is an absolute bust

Which is definitely understandable. And he has done better than the 3 mentioned.
But being a top 10 pick, you're going to get high expectations.
Mike Williams and Corey Davis are finally getting their legs churning.

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.

I don't believe Ross is the main reason for them tanking. But I do believe that it plays a factor. As does Eifert's injury and the fact that Dalton spends the least amount of time in the pocket among qualifying quarterbacks.

Ross helps with over the top and there's instances where he's cleared out defenders because of his speed.

Not many other players bring fear to DCs. Some may argue Core with his speed. But he's been lackluster and has even been given chances, but he still has 0 catches. So not many defenders are going to be afraid of Core.

Lazor needs to adjust some stuff. The offense started off hot and is now starting to spiral. 44 points in their last three games is not good. That's less than 15 PPG
