I want the guy to be awesome, but it's annoying hearing how the planets seemingly have to align for a 9th overall pick to succeed.  Oh and anyone who says hes a disappointment hates him and is rooting against him and scared he's going to be good. 

Why are we allowed to say Ced and Price and other disappointing players are disappointing without being called haters?  Just seems odd. 

Every single fan of this team should be a “Ross hopeful”

To answer your last question, I personally feel comfortable calling Ced and Price busts because neither one have ever shown a single flash of being decent NFL players. Ross has. 10 TD in 24 games (and lets be honest Dalton cost him a couple more) is something to look at and see a glimmer of hope there.

I can absolutely see Ross putting it all together (especially if he stays healthy) and becoming a legitimate starter. Would I bet on it? No, but i wouldn’t be shocked if he does. I would however be shocked if Ced O or Billy Price are ever starters in this league.
