I doubt that Jerry Rice was injured this much in his 1st 2 years and I doubt that Rice looked as lost out there as Ross does.Who his team mates are helps the development. Rice had Montana, with a very talented line and running game, tossing the ball to him. You shouldn't buy Lamborghinis if you live on a gravel road.
I doubt that Rice didn't fight for balls.
There's nothing about Ross that indicates future star. Maybe he's salvageable? But, at some point he's going to need to actually practice to improve.
And Rice had 927 yards as a rookie and 1570 yards in Year 2. Steve Largent had 705 yards and 643 yards in his 1st 2 seasons.
