He’s done absolutely nothing in the rest of the two games. Other than try to short arm catches, bobble balls, take penalties, etc.

He’s trash.

It's amazing that Joe Burrow is 1-12 on Deep passes and has averaged a whopping 5.3 yards an attempte his first two games. It's like he is struggling to get in sync with his top deep targets? I wonder why that is?

John Ross was injured his rookie season, he actually played more with Jeff Driskle then Andy Dalton his second season and he scored 7 TDs, and last season he only played 8 games and he was on pace for 1000 yards. 

 Ross was never going to be the main guy here. It's clearly AJ #1, Boyd #2, then maybe Ross as third probably 4th option on this team. Him not getting targets and not getting snap's isn't that a big surprise for me.

So we’re telling others it is incorrect to say John Ross hasn’t produced based upon projections?

I’ll make sure I tell my wife the next time she asks, “That’s it?” after sex.

“Well, I projected it to last a lot longer.”

That's not true at all he had a huge Catch on the last drive in the charger game.

Hes produced when he has been on the field.

What are his projections for this year?

That’s what it’s come to with Ross? Getting excited over a single catch in a game? Not going off for 100+ yds, or multiple TD’s?

Guy was a #9OA pick, and he’s being outplayed by the generic brand Mike Thomas.

According to Tyler Dragon Tee Higgins was getting the receiver reps behind AJ and Boyd on Monday's practice. It looks like Higgins has leap frogged John Ross for the #3 receiver.

 my thread is getting to be mute sounds like the Bengals are starting to move from him .. he dropped to 30% of plays over 60% with Higgins getting more reps in 2nd game and the rookies seems have the offense under control...

Without much of an off-season and no preseason games, that took 2 weeks longer than I thought it would.

John Ross' stats through last weekend, 3 years plus 2 games this season.

Games played 26 out of 50 possible.
Receiving yards 733 or 28 yards per game played or 15 yards per game paid to play.
Targets 123 or about 5 per game played.
Catches 51 or 1.8 per game played.
Catch % of 41.5%.

He's had 3 seasons to learn how to play football in the NFL.

Another wr taken in the same draft as Ross now has 224 receptions on 329 targets (68%) for 3,012 yards and 19 TDs. We took the wrong WR.

Ross just ain't living up to being a WR in the NFL.

People seem to be concerned that if he goes elsewhere he might flourish. I say that if he were going to flourish he'd have done so by now. Pride alone would dictate that he'd at least put forth his best effort. Sadly, no one can say that he has.

 Now maybe they can turn their attention to Bobby Hart and make him go away...

It wasn't an experiment but rather an expectation. You can stick a fork in Ross, he's done.

The reason he's starting is Mike's MO of making players work for what they are paid to do, whether they are making a difference or not. You get paid, you work. The businessman side of him.




MO = mode of operation
