John Ross wants to be traded

Also John Ross had a career 1 game and 1 garbage time TD. Outside of that he was the same guy he'd always been.

Yup, 32nd, to 29th in 2019, to 25th in 2020... another 3-4 more years sucking slightly less at that rate and they'll have an above average defense.  

You're basically arguing that while we're in a pile of shit, it's a SLIGHTLY smaller pile of shit than 2018, so huzzah!

Nevermind that MOST people don't want to be in a pile of shit at all.

That's just straight false.

In 2019, Ross had 3/8 games in which he had 4+ receptions and 80+ yards.
While that's not WR1 status, it's better than he did in 2018, in which the most yards he had in a game was 52 yards. The most receptions he had in a game in 2018 was 3. So he did improve from 2018 to 2019.

The fact of the matter is people wanted him to be a consistent 50+ yard guy  this year, which may have been hard with Green back and Higgins just drafted.
Remember, when Ross was his most productive, he was WR2 on the team.
He basically became WR3/4 in the first two games, and then last weekend he was WR5/6.
He saw a total of 5 targets in Wk 1, 2 in Wk 2, and 0 in Wk 6.

At this point, Ross is never going to get the opportunities for him to produce, so there's no point in even entertaining the idea. His best bet is to go to a new team (SEA given he played college at Washington?). I hope he succeeds wherever he goes.
