So, despite scoring a TD every 5th reception, and having a 14.6 yards per reception (that last year was actually 18.1 yards per reception) is "consistently failing"? He has consistently failed to stay healthy, I will give you that...as has AJ Green, Tyler Eifert, and numerous other Bengals.Tyler Eifert never got this much hate for being injured. It's amazing.
He may not always light up the stat sheet, but I am sure the likes of Boyd appreciate him drawing coverage so he can eat in the middle.
I will point out also that there have only been 6 games where Ross and Green were both healthy on the field for the Bengals and the Bengals are 5-1 in those games.
I've brought up.Ross 's TD catch ratio and some act like it doesn't exist. I've brought up his 18.1 YPC in 2019
And some act like it's a typo.
Ross has been hurt. That's fact. But last year's chest injury you can't pin on Ross.
No one on the roster has a better TD to catch ratio on this roster
If Alex Erickson had the same ratio his fanclub here would be prepping him for the HOF
And on a offense that has struggled to produce TDs lately it needs all the end zone threats it can get.
And for.the ones that claim Ross plays scared they need to show proof.
John Ross was drafted to draw doubles away from AJ and to give this offense another weapon
His kind of speed and open field ability was vacant on this roster when drafted
And for the armchair GMS that want to cut him this year right now who are you going to replace him with
That can give you that same TD catch ratio. ?
