John Ross is an absolute bust

Maybe more receivers like him would be a better fit. Not sure any QB gets the time for a deep ball behind this line, but if he is quitting on routes, a fly or a 9 will likely be ones he would quit on. Ross is just not as good as his draft position. 

That IS a problem here, since the Bengals only completed 4 vertical route passes with the outside receivers (2 of which were caught by Ross).

Besides the Carolina route (which was a bad pass) can you tell me when Ross gave up on routes?

Be that is it may, it still takes time for players.

Look at Corey Davis. Nothing great his first season.

John Ross started 11 total games, Corey Davis started 9 his first season.
Corey Davis only had 165 more yards than Ross with 13 more catches. But also had no TDs. Ross has 7.

Took him until year two after actually getting playing time to improve. Same with Nelson Agholor. Same with Tyler Boyd (granted Boyd's first season was good, second season was dreadful)
