NJ.com: Beckham is the best in the league after the catch

Eric from BBI : Admin : 6/23/2016 9:38 am
FYI...
Giants' Odell Beckham Jr. is the best in the league after the catch - ( New Window )
he's the best in the league period.

i know antonio brown gets his hype but i'll take OBJ or A.J. Green. And Green is constantly nicked. JMO

Jones and Brown are both better than Green.
Antonio Brown gets his hype?  
GiantFilthy : 6/23/2016 9:46 am : link
AB deserves that hype! Dude is a legit star just like OBJ and it would be very difficult for any GM to pick between the two if starting a new team I would imagine.
some of it has to do with the QB

putting the ball in the right place for the WR makes it a lot easier to gain YAC. Especially compared to Dez and Hopkins last season.

This isn't surprising to anyone either:

But even worse than either was Giants tight end Larry Donnell. He ranked 49th of 50 tight ends at -1.9. Only Tampa Bay's Cameron Brate (who?) rated lower than Donnell.


If Ranaan reads this, where did Tye rank among TEs?

I'm a huge Green fan, but he's not on Julio's or Brown's level. Top 3 in the league are Julio/Beckham/Brown. Green's in the next group with Hopkins, Dez, etc. Biggest "issue" with Green is he's primarily a deep threat. He might be the best in the league in that area, but he's not as versatile as Julio/Beckham/Brown who can pretty much line up anyway and dominate.

Beckham's hands/body control lets him

catch the ball while maintaining his stride in a way that you just don't see often among WRs.

That Jets TD is a type of play that really highlights it. Same with the Falcons TD. He leaves corners in the dust and safeties always misplay the angles with him.
I've never seen Brown play.

I just know from FF he wracks up huge numbers.

What's his style? What makes him so good?
also IMO

Adrian Peterson, Odell Beckham, and healthy Dez Bryant have the most explosive bursts in the league. They go 0-60 in a blink.

He's one of the quickest WR's you'll ever see. He can cut and change direction on a dime and his acceleration is uncanny. He's extremely explosive.

Shiftier than Odell, punt returner-like moves after the catch. A better route runner than Odell through experience. Not as big a frame as Odell but probably tougher/stronger at this point in their careers.

If Odell is the best in the league after the catch, Brown is the best in the league before it. Brown creates separation better than anyone else.

You should try to catch a Steelers game. He's a legitimate superstar.

He is simply incredible at getting open fast. Part of what helps him compile so many goddamn catches regularly
Don't worry..

I don't have much confidence area junk ever saw him play either, but he will still give some shitty opinion.

How's the Davis signing coming, Cochise?
If Area Junk said something, you can lay money on it

being bad info.
Antonio Brown? Don't make me laugh.  
Klaatu : 6/23/2016 11:22 am : link
Can he do this?
AB deserves the praise he receives.  
LI NHB : 6/23/2016 5:41 pm : link
He's about as polished as they come, albeit not having the outrageous measurables of the CJ's, AJ's and JJ's.

OBJ is right there with him along with Julio. AJ would be right behind IMO.

What the hell is he doing? He could strain an oblique! Why he catching passes from Eli? Shouldn't he be helping Cruz with his come back?

He's just not mature enough to be a captain....maybe even a Giant.

He was a 6th round draft pick.
