Awesome Odell Beckham Jr. catches

Metnut : 5/24/2017 12:55 pm
Cool Youtube video here of 10 sweet catches (well 9 catches and an "almost") by our superstar stud WR. Amazing that he's already put together a highlight reel like this and he's only 24 years old!

His numbers are completely insane. He already has over 4100 yards receiving and and 35 TDs and three seasons (and he missed a large portion of his rookie year)! Whatever he's doing, I hope he keeps it up!

Feel free to post any other great Beckham plays since this video only has ten of them. Personally, I like the catches vs NE and DAL.

He went on a boat with Johnny Manziel and got beaten up by a net. Kid spends all his time worrying about buying more Bentleys. Need to trade that bum pronto.

It's actually incredible what the general tone towards this player is around here considering how absolutely electric he's been over the first 3 years of his career.

This is the most talented WR (maybe the most talented offensive player) we've ever seen wear this uniform.

And yet, the majority of the talk about him these days is all negative.

That kickasso'd !!!

Yeah it's crazy. Some of that is Odell putting that on himself by putting himself in a position for these negative nancies to go after him, but it's crazy how much people kill this guy. He's the best offensive player I have ever seen wear this uniform and I don't think anyone is all that close to be honest. He's amazing.
Is it really  
Joey in VA : 5/24/2017 1:07 pm : link
Asking so much that he work with his teammates to improve? The hyperbole around here when anyone is critical of a player who clearly has his head up his rear end is once again absurd. There is a legitimate reason to be with your teammates, at Duke and at OTAs and he has chosen to ignore both. I don't like it, I don't want him traded, that's illogical and stupid just like it is to completely ignore this pattern of me first behavior from a me first player.

Question for all of the "nothing to see here" folks, who are usually among the cuntiest whiners on the planet, would you prefer that he worked out with Eli and Co at Duke and attended OTAs or hang with Drake and UNC and Johnny Manziel? You get to choose one, what is your choice and why? I won't bother waiting for an answer because the usual group of idiots who band together to proclaim a divergent view point as stupid because it's not theirs will continue to crank their dicks in a circle and maintain the conviction that they know infinitely more than anyone else.

Saying you would prefer him doing other things is being disingenuous and quite frankly fucking stupid. I want him working with his team to win a championship every chance he gets. You guys are ok if he fucks off, there is actually room for multiple opinions and discussion instead of off hand dismissal by the usual crowd of fucking idiots here. But carry on making horrible jokes and useless points about a subject you know shit about to begin with.

Because people are stupid. without Beckham the offense is utter crap.. in fact there is no offense the last three years without him..

but he doesnt fit the mold of what " people " want.. The guy has made some mistakes.. yup.. he's what 23..

The boat thing was silly and shouldnt have happened.

The net thing was called frustration.. so what..

The Josh Norman thing was crazy.. but what happened the second time they met.. nothing...

He had a bad Green Bay game.. so did the whole offense..

He punched a hole in a wall.. So what.. Paul O Neill regularly destroyed water coolers and other things and people LOVED him..

and not showing up to an OTA??

yeah well hate on LT, Strahan, JPP, DRC and the litany of others who missed a walkthrough session..

if he blows off mandatory mini camp.. then thats an issue..

The negativity toward him completely baffles me. The amount of big plays this guy has made for us in such a short period is time is incredible.

It's like some people think they are owed something from him off the field in addition to the elite performance he's given NYG fans on the field.

I might be wrong but I think Strahan missed most of a training camp one year and went on to have a great season. Do people really think that missing a day or two of OTAs in May is going to have an effect on the upcoming season?

arcarsenal : 5/24/2017 1:34 pm : link
Most people would probably prefer if he had the persona of a guy like AJ Green instead. I get that he opens himself up to some criticism - I'm just baffled by the way so many Giants fans have basically turned on the kid and pick apart every single little thing he does.

Not every player is going to live their lives the way people want them to. It's just something people need to come to terms with.

As long as he keeps doing these things on Sundays, I'm not losing sleep over the rest.

doesn't even show much of his ability after the catch.

To think, he'd have a couple PR TDs too if not for some holds (real holds, but IIRC weren't responsible for springing him).
Simply amazing talent

Beats professionals to the spot/ball continually. HIs acceleration, top end speed, and quickness is simply remarkable. Also, i'm running out of adjectives for his athletic ability.

It's not stupid to suggest trading him. The time to do it would be now before we pay him twenty million a year and make him untradeable.

Right now he has trade value that might be greater than Herschel Walker. It would be the epitome of selling high on an asset, and would protect the Giants from Beckham possibly being devalued by injury, his own stupidity, or otherwise.

UConn4523 : 5/25/2017 7:11 am : link
it's your post that sounds whiney. Perfect world Beckham never sleeps and runs routes catching passes with Eli until the crack of dawn. But is that the perfect world or just some ludicrous expectation for sports fans who have no idea what these guys do in their free time?

It's so boring to read posts like yours with the same recycled garbage as every one that came before it. Wake me up when Beckham stops prepping for the season or skips mandatory camp.
That was awesome...

Awesome post.
It's weird how the dynamic of the board has changed...  
Britt in VA : 5/25/2017 8:55 am : link
10 years ago the majority of the board would be annoyed that Beckham was skipping out on these things...

These days, the majority of the board shuns that opinion and anybody who dares to have it.

Just weird that people get annoyed that fans want their star player to show up for organized team activities and practices.
OTAs are voluntary. No need to show at all..  
Big Blue '56 : 5/25/2017 9:00 am : link
By ALL accounts, he's a great teammate and lockerroom guy..He is one of the best around and will continue to be so, assuming good health..The boat trip was ill-advised as was the Norman thing, but he'll learn from that and won't repeat the stupid, imo..

He is NOT a prima donna, a druggie or a malcontent..He's a personality in a twitter world of personalities..He PRODUCES WHEN IT MATTERS. Give it a rest already..And before one says it, many stars have had fucked up playoff games..

Truly nothing to see here..There must be other things OF IMPORT to discuss..Sheesh
he  
Les in TO : 5/25/2017 9:02 am : link
is an awesome talent and Reese hit the jackpot drafting him. if he can work on improving the catch/drop ratio, with this current offense, he is going to be ridiculous.

while the optics are terrible that he is spotted with numbnuts like manziel and kardashian instead of at voluntary workouts, I am confident he will be ready to roll when the season begins.
Not a pre-Madonna? Not sure I'll agree with that  
Greg from LI : 5/25/2017 9:03 am : link
But who cares? He's the most electrifying offensive player I'll likely ever see in blue. He has almost single-handedly carried them to wins. He has consistently produced at an elite level. Until he does otherwise, he could parade around dressed as the Joker for all I care.
and people worry waaaaaaaay too much about "optics"  
Greg from LI : 5/25/2017 9:04 am : link
When someone talks about optics, it is invariably a code word for bullshit.
What if he doesn't want to be a leader?  
Ten Ton Hammer : 5/25/2017 9:05 am : link
That role isn't for everyone. And when you try to force guys into that role that aren't cut out for it, they end up leading players down the wrong path.

He is legitimately great. If he does not improve at all, he is still on a hall of fame trajectory. What he does on and off the field does not and will not work for all players, and the same is true for all the greats.
I don't care what he does in his personal life...  
Britt in VA : 5/25/2017 9:05 am : link
Who he dates, who he hangs out with, or what he does. Don't give a fuck.

I just wish he'd come to more team activities. Our offense needs a lot of work and I wish he'd join them while they are putting the work in.
In 2007, Michael Strahan didn't show up for a damned thing  
Greg from LI : 5/25/2017 9:07 am : link

LT routinely slept through team meetings and left practice early because he had a tee time. So long as you produce at the highest levels, what difference does it make?

For me its the great lengths people go to disprove his desire/effort/worth/etc. The constant expectation of doing what a fan wants otherwise the player doesn't care is mind boggling to me.

I completely get why people want him there, we all would like to see him there, but if he isn't missing anything mandatory I won't pretend to act like I know what's best for him/the Giants.

It's pitch and catch with no formality..Does ANYONE think that OBJ's rapport with Eli won't be 100% when they play for real?
I haytes to say this  
gidiefor : Mod : 5/25/2017 2:56 pm : link
but all the OBJ drama -- reminds me a lot of all the Terrell Owens drama when he was a player -- except that OBJ's team-mates seem to have a pretty high opinion of him - whereas TO was always a polarizing and alienating personality - yet he still produced at an extraordinary level and I was always envious of his talent and production

Would I rather OBJ came to practice with his team-mates -- Yes - no question but that I would

Would I like to see OBJ not be a Giant -- no way Jose! It's because the kid is such a phenomenal talent that folks are bending over to accept what he's doing -- I understand it -- but I also question the hysteria opposed to it -- the people Pat Leonard is feeding

No one here is hysterical over OV not being at OTA's -- no one

The kid is a lightening rod -- but he's also a playa -- let's hope he continues to produce for the Giants -- the thought of him, Marshall and Engram on the field at the same time is truly exciting - that's what I'm focused on

I'm completely serious. Whether or not you have a problem with Beckham's attitude or whatever, the Giants are approaching a point where if trading him is a consideration they have to do it soon. If they pay him a huge contract it's going to devalue him in the trade market.

I don't think we're going to get through his entire rookie deal, options, etc. He'll want the big contract before then.

Well, if we go that route we might as well trade Eli too, cause we ain't winning shit without OBJ....so no need to keep paying Eli $20M+ per for his final few years.

Go Terps : 5/25/2017 5:51 pm : link
Eli Manning has little trade value due to contract and age. Beckham's trade value, for those same reasons, is enormous. But it's only going to decrease as contract talks heat up, and once he gets that contract it will decrease further still.

And as for not winning anything without him, I don't know about that. Marshall, Shepard, and Engram is still a pretty talented group.

I don't think the Giants will trade him, but I'd be surprised if behind closed doors Reese and McAdoo aren't a little bit tired of his shit. Reese makes comments about him and his maturity in January, and he responds to those comments by missing OTAs...that's not about him opting instead to be around Johnny Manziel or some chick with a huge ass. Reese is his boss.
Sorry to disagree....  
Tesla : 5/25/2017 6:04 pm : link
but in my opinion we are absolutely not Super Bowl Contenders without OBJ. Full stop.

So trading OBJ is taking away our chance at a Super Bowl over the next couple of years. No amount of #1 picks in the future is worth that to me. Our chance to win is now....and trading away the guy is who is far and away our best player snd the key to our whole offense is not the way to go.

I've advocated for it before today, and I see it as an economic exercise:

No trade: Odell Beckham

or

Trade: 3 or 4 premium picks over the next 2 or 3 drafts + ~$20 million in cap space per year over the next 3 or 4 seasons

As we approach the post-Eli Manning era I think the second scenario better positions this team for sustained success in the long term.
One thing about Go Terps...  
Dan in the Springs : 5/25/2017 7:15 pm : link
never afraid to be bold in his assertions - he would make an interesting case study as an actual GM.

If he had the right scouts and coaches to turn premium draft picks into pro-bowl players we would always be loaded with young talent. It would be hard saying goodbye to them frequently though.

I seriously wish I could visit an alternate reality to see just how well he would do. I'm not willing to say he'd couldn't win.
It's certainly an unconventional approach, and savvy....
