Ross struggled with consistency during spring practices

I bet he expected to be drafted by a team starved to.have a 4.3
burner that could stretch defenses.
I think Ross thought "hmm I could be drafted by a X team
and probally wind up as a number 2 by years end."
Ross got drafted by the Nati and thought
"oh boy got Green there and Boyd....."
his rookie year got washed out.
he got hurt.
nothing on offense went well that year.
even last year he got hurt.
WR take awhile to adjust to the pro game.
even WRs that come into really established offenses
struggle.
people cant gripe about Ross all they want.
yeah he hasnt reeled in 65 catches for 1000 and 8.
I get it.
the true is I believe.
I dont think any of the coaches last year really supported  Ross or believed in him or even attempted
to put him in schemes to succeed.
if a typical Bengals Sunday scout at the bar can see Ross
was not schemed up last year to make huge plays
then what does that say about that Mickey Mouse offensive staff
last year?
i really believe Ross lacked confidence last year.
and I believe he felt if he made a error...he was getting a seat on
the bench.he was pressing.
he couldnt screw up plays like Cody Core and Alex Redmond
and no actions be enforced.
if anything Ross is a end zone  threat legitimitally now.
you cant criticize that at all.

You missed some of the excuses:

1. Have to list "he was injured" four times, not just once.
2. The QBs are incompetent, that's why Ross and the ball aren't at the same spot so the balls are uncatchable.
3. Marvin hates him.
4. "He's really just a rookie" has to be listed at least twice, if not three times.
5. His targets average 6 feet further down field than the targets to AJ Green and that's why his catch percentage is so bad.
6. Dalton doesn't have confidence in Ross so won't throw to him.
7. The last coaching staff didn't know how to use WRs. Just forget Chad, TJ, Green, Jones, Sanu, LaFell and Boyd cause they don't count.

You know how bad a player is by the length of the list of excuses.
