John Ross Haters

[CJD]

I'll happily eat crow. I was confident in the pick when it was made when people were calling it a Heyward-Bey level pick. I pointed out in multiple posts that he was more than just a speed demon. He ran routes in college that were professional level and had good hands (despite some drops so far in his professional career).

My confidence in him was shaken by two straight bad years and then not playing the pre-season seemed like just another case of "This guy is just made of glass."

But now that he's had his breakout game, I am extremely excited to see what he can offer for the remainder of the season. Obviously, you can't expect this every week, but if he can continue good production, particularly of the "chunk play" variety, then his selection may end up being worth it after all.

I'm still worried about injuries, but I'm no longer worried about his inability to find a place in our offense when healthy.

I knew Marvin was bad for this team in a lot of ways, and this may be just another example of him and his chosen coaches not knowing how to properly use a player.
