Josh Malone has 75 career receiving yards and 1 TD.  He's still on the team.

Auden Tate has 35 career receiving yards and no TD's.  He's still on the team.

Alex Erickson has never had more than 180 receiving yards in a season, nor more than 1 TD.  He's still on the team, although he is the primary return man if we're being fair.

As much of a disappointment as he's been, nobody behind him has been able to take his job.  If you were going to entertain the thought of cutting the guy, you can't do it unless someone grabs that #3 job by the throat.  Nobody has.  

You don't cut a guy on a rookie deal with 7 receiving TD's, whether he's a #1 overall pick or an UDFA.  If you give Auden Tate Ross's stat line from last year, people would be screaming for him to start.  

Those guys can play special teams including tackle people. I doubt Ross could do that without getting hurt.

You sure do focus on the 7 receiving TD's a lot. You seem to omit the 210 yards which is horrible for a guy that was a #3 WR, but also had plenty of #2 and #1 receiver opportunities due to guys in front of him getting injured.

Auden Tate actually plays hard in games and fights for 50/50 balls and catches a bunch of them. Ross seems to give up on contested throws. Big difference. Tate is hungrier by a lot.
