Yea, go ahead and pull out some statistics saying he is top 10 at deeps balls. I'm saying anyone with AJ Green is gonna have a good deep ball percentage. Also explains why we haven't really gotten Ross jump started yet either. He's not a jump ball specialist like AJ, you have to actually be able to hit him in stride, that is how speedsters work.
Hitting a WR with a microscopic catch radius in stride ain't that easy to do, especially when said WR's route running isn't very precise. Deep balls are often thrown before the WR makes a break, so it's also about the WR being in the right spot at the right time. And, of course, the WR can't give up and stop either. Cough, cough.
The NFL is not like that the PAC 12 was when Ross was there where zones gave him wide areas to into. In the NFL he's going to have a guy on his hip wherever he goes.
Now please don't take my statements as a defense of Dalton. Take them more along the lines of Ross needs a lot more work than people realize.
