Exactly, TD's are a big deal, atleast that is what i believe. They kind of win games.

You can't expect every WR to come back on an underthrown ball every time, especially one who is not even 6 ft tall. Ross's forte is his speed, not his size/leaping ability. If he would have come back for the ball and not gotten high enough to catch it, some people would be criticizing his inability to high point.
I swear, people act like this guy should be AJ Green just because he was drafted in Top 10. Just because a player is selected in the Top 10 doesn't mean he won't have limitations. John Ross was probably considered a reach by many at 9 but the Bengals likely felt he won't be there at their pick in the 2nd round and must not have felt able/comfortable in moving back enough and still getting him.
If Dalton was a lot better at hitting WRs in stride deep, we wouldn't even be talking about Ross having to come back to the ball all the time. If Dalton (or any QB) keeps having issues hitting WRs deep in stride, perhaps the playcalling needs to change to make it so the QBs can better connect with Ross. It's clear Ross can get open more than just a 9 route, as most of his success has been in the red zone.
Great post, the coaches are having a hard time using Ross the right way, big surprise.
Dalton missed him a lot this year, have to play a player to his strengths, the QB included.
