antonio cromartie calls odell a one year wonder

mirwin : 10/9/2015 6:47 pm
He should do his top 5 children instead of receivers, hope odell lights him up Dec 6. He was questioning how he carries himself, hypocritical. He then says statistically he has been good. But i really jut hate him. His cousin is the smarter cromartie.

I wonder how many people who only have played one year

Are one year wonders?
hahahaha

top 5 children. Excellent.
Eh

There's nothing wrong with what he said. He said he's a one year wonder "so far". Said he needs to continue to do it week in and week out. And he's exactly right.

But did he really say that Calvin Johnson has 3 guys on him? Come on now, lol.
One year wonder implies more than that, imo  
Bill L : 10/9/2015 7:09 pm : link
It properly is accompanied by an extended period of non-performance. That's simply not the case here and there is insufficient data or time to acquire data.
Meaning it's an actual idiom  
Bill L : 10/9/2015 7:10 pm : link
So different from saying that he is still young in his career and needs to show it for a prolonged period to live up to the hype
Since OBJ Has Only Played 16 Games  
Trainmaster : 10/9/2015 7:12 pm : link
and he has been a "wonder", but definition, he is a "One Year Wonder".

We should blow this thread up with a prolonged emotional

And politically polarizing discussion of the literal versus the idiomatic.

Papa knows his name sniff sniff
I love it when DBs talk  
Emil : 10/9/2015 8:11 pm : link
I hope OBJ just uses it for extra motivation (not like he needs it)

On pace for 96 receptions...just sayin
I dont thnk he said it with any malice  
ballanda : 10/9/2015 8:23 pm : link
He's just saying OBJ has played 16 games in his career, and by virtue of that, you cannot (yet) consider him one of the top 3 WRs in the NFL. He's absolutely right. Maybe poor choice of words. But with all the hooting and hollering on that set, I think they were egging him on a lot.
Cromartie should be arrested  
averagejoe : 10/9/2015 8:30 pm : link
for the money his agent got him from the Jests. Eli will be pick him apart on 12/6.

That said, his comments on OBJ do not bother me. Beckham has not made the big plays as often this year. Yet. With his talent level they are bound to come. I like OBJ's passion but talk is cheap. He should use that passion to help him focus on silencing has-beens like Cromartie.

I suspect the percentage is pretty high.
Cromartie once said God speaks to him  
Giants2012 : 10/9/2015 9:06 pm : link
If God was speaking to him I wonder why, during the act of conceiving between kids 6-9, he didn't receive a tap on the shoulder with a message from God saying "hey,bad idea".


He's right!

He doesn't even know how many kids he has

Odds are pretty good that he's a dumb ass.

Exactly. I think his definition of "one year wonder" is off. One year wonder, to me, implies someone who was good for a year and then fell off. The implication there is that there were several years of bad play and 1 good year.

I think Cromartie just meant he's only been in the league 1 year, basically, and you can't put him up there with people who have been good year-in and year-out. Seems fair to me, although I think Beckham will prove to be one of those people based on the 16 games or so I've seen.
