    Ross could turn into a Top 2-3 round talent at CB ... not sure that he has that ceiling at WR.

    Who gives a shit about NFL rounds? Ross could be a DAT, DeShaun Jackson, Reggie Bush on offense in the Pac-12 and make a much bigger impact than at corner.

    The question that keeps getting asked and FEW even think long enough to fucking consider it:

    What has John Ross shown you as a WR to suggest that he's GREAT at it and that there's a concerted effort to NOT get him involved in the passing game?

    When is the last time that you saw Ross run a route effectively that wasn't a WR screen, a drag, or a fly?

    When opposing teams throw the ball 40x per game and you are a lockdown CB, you are trying to tell me that the CB has less of an impact on the game than a WR that might catch 5 balls per game? If so, you clearly haven't paid attention to Richard Sherman.

    If some of you aren't able to at least consider why Ross isn't a involved as you think he is and why perhaps he couldn't have a better impact elsewhere, then you should be considering offering up your name for a future Friday sacrifice.

    Last years staff seemed to have the same issues with him. That being said its on the coaching staff to make him better.

    I don't know if he is dumb, it's piss poor coaching, or abundance.

    There was a note in the summer about Ross working hard and standing out. Guess thats out the window. Maybe he's not being tough enough and going 100% in practice.

    Petersen was talking about Ross being dinged up and the way he worded it made it seem like he wants Ross to nut up and start playing through minor injuries.

    If he was really working hard he'd weigh more than 160lbs

    In recent weeks you can tell something is up in Ross's head, because he's not returning kicks with the same reckless abandon. He's tentative.

    Seemed like it was all about this. He's trying to send a message to players that being tough means you're tough enough to practice through the same things you're willing to play through in the game. Basic stuff. I learned that shit in little league.
