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.
The coaches were graceful enough to not make him look like a bust as much as possible. Otherwise you would be hearing a lot of criticism of them from players.
