I hope Ross can pick up the offense and play all WR positions. AJ and Boyd can now and are threats anywhere they line up. If Ross could do the same, I think like Boyd, he could wreak havoc from the slot or even lined up at RB to create a LB matchup night,are for teams.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Damn refs and their flag parties.

AJ Green is the unquestioned #1 WR on this team. I don't care how well Willis plays, when AJ is back, AJ is #1.

It was a rhetorical question. Of course AJ will be starting when he comes back.

When AJ comes back, he deserves out there too.
Ross, at that point, would be WR4.
Exactly

Ross would be a great value - if he would have been a 3rd round pick. I'm optimistic that Taylor can actually draw up some plays and scheme around him. You can't coach or teach his speed. Defenses need to be accountable for him and it should open up a lot of stuff for the other guys.

I think Ross is being terribly underestimate, and I am glad. Too many expectations didn't help him last year. Hoping for a huge year from him. He has elite skills, but needs to keep his head in it and stay healthy. I have a feeling he will.

Our head coach seems to care less about where a guy was drafted (UFA and 4th round pick to start over 1st round pick to start) so why do our fans get so butt hurt?
Who cares where anyone was drafted at this point?
Boyd had a horrific 2nd year for a 2nd round pick, but he rebounded in year #3 and put up WR#! type numbers, better than AJ.
All we see is Ross is always injured and a bust. Is Williams a bust? He likely does not play in a game in 2019, a injury problem player.
Let's hope Ross is healthy and stays healthy, if so he can help us win in 2019 which is what I care about versus labeling players winner and losers based on draft status.
You said your are optimistic after you tarshed the guy. I don't understand why you and others take Ross's career so personally.

Feel the exact same, never understood this.
It is like they are offended by the pick. I could of seen OJ Howard over Ross at the time but no OL were worthy of that pick.
Just cause he is an early first round pick and has not been the player I thought he would be doesn't mean he should be trashed on because of it. Not his fault he was picked that early, not his fault he has so much speed and quickness he hurts himself often either.

I don't think Ross wished upon any injury that he has to endure.football players are human too.
Yeah they make a lot of $$$$$ but they are still human.
He wants to go out and make plays as bad as we want
To see him too.
