BREAKING: A NEW injury ends John Ross' season

[Socal Bengals fan]

what a ***** waste

[*Go Cards*]

What a waste of a 1st round draft pick.

[THE PISTONS]

We found our guy to replace Eifert (on the injury report) when he leaves!

[Bengalitis]

the #15 jersey is cursed for the Bengals.

Just an awful, horrible, wasted pick.

Either Lewis is totally out of touch with reality, or he is hell-bent on punishing Ross. Maybe he could he be angling for a comp-pick because this pick was so bad? (joke). I doubt anyone (except Brown) could make the Ross pick without Marvin's approval.
Good luck, Mr. Ross.

Calm down guys.

His rookie season is turning out much like the Great Kirkpatrick, he gonna become a beast like Dre!



Joking aside, starting to feel like we drafted Tavon Austin 2.0..... hoping we didn't!

I still think Ross has great potential, not calling him a bust yet, just a bust rookie year.

Look at the WJ3 scenario. Not too shabby of a player.

Does he play wr too?

I'm sure he would, if they asked it of him.  We have Josh Malone to develop, get him some action.  It's becoming obvious that Boyd is nothing special, and Core has fallen off the radar.

I doubt there is some conspiracy to keep him off the field at this point.

I may consider that. But then I think of the time that he suited up, fumbled, and never saw the field again. Then I go to the time he quit on a route (the only Bengal WR to ever do so), and never saw the field again.

I hated the pick myself, but I'm not buying the "He looks bad in practice" bullshit. We have players that look bad in games, and they seem to keep trotting them back out there.

They're not letting Eifert go anywhere... The guy knows the system.

This is why you don't draft a flyweight WR who already had major surgeries on both knees and was still recovering from his shoulder surgery coming into the draft.

It was a bad pick then, and even a worse one today.

All we can do is hope the little guy will never be injury prone again and be a productive top 10 draft pick.

My sentiments exactly lol

[corpjet]

It sounds like he was put on IR so the DT from the practice squad Josh T wasn't picked up by whoever claimed him.....

as other have said its been a wasted year, hopefully our new HC knows what to do with the kid...

[TKUHL]

And to think I was getting slammed before the season started for saying he was a wasted pick. We passed on some really good players. I didn't think we needed a WR but I was down for Kupp or even JuJu in the 2nd or 3rd if we was able to move McCarron. So of course our star 1st RD WR can't even get on the field and JuJu knocks the shit out of Burfict. This franchise has taken years off my life. Pathetic

Eventually making it to New Orleans, luckily it’s the Saints that the curse would be hitting and I assume, given their name, they’re immune to curses.

Yep! You let someone else draft those guys.
