People aren't criticizing Green like they do Ross because Green has produced multiple 1000 yard seasons, but he's guilty of the same things you talk about. Many receivers are.

I think you need to be a little more relaxed and understand that not every receiver is going to do exactly what you think they should do.

People focus too much on the negatives with Ross and not looking at the positives.

Positives:
0 yards rookie year -> 210 yards soph year -> 506 yards junior year.
10 TDs the past two seasons (most out of all receivers).
Was on pace for 1000+ yards last year if he had played all 16 games.
10.0 YPR soph year -> 18.1 YPR junior year.

His biggest issue has been staying on the field in his 3-year career, not the minor gaffes.

Believe what you want, but I see a player growing into his own each and every year, not someone who is hopeless.
Was it a reach of a pick? Absolutely in hindsight, but so were Corey Davis and Mike Williams, both of whom were picked before Ross. The Bengals had the 9th pick and liked Ross's skill set and potential. We don't know if they attempted to trade back or not, or if Ross would have even been available if they had traded back.

Look at the two videos I linked... 

That is not growth. Unless your a potato and grow into the ground not out of it....
