OBJ ranked 8th on the players list

NYG07 : 6/26/2017 8:40 pm
And the 3rd best receiver. One spot behind Ezekiel Elliot. Really? Call me a homer, but there is not a better player in this league outside of the great QBs better than Odell Beckham Jr.

Not a huge deal because this list doesn't really matter, but a little courtesy / consideration for folks in other time zones would be nice.
Elliott ranked ahead of Beckham?

He has a star on his chest. Don't you know that? That makes him special.
If this list was just about 2016, I don't have a problem with Elliott

being #7. Yet it's clearly not, given some of the others, so...

It doesn't mean much of anything though, anyway. Just off-season filler that the players who bother to vote clearly don't put that much effort into.
I really hate these

He's behind a good line. That line has taken hits, I predict that EE never even sniffs the top 10 ever again

Zeke over Odell. Dak Prescott over Aaron Donald.

Enough said.
Top 6, fine  
WillVAB : 6/26/2017 11:20 pm : link
But Zeke over Beckham is nuts. Zeke isn't even the best RB in the league let alone 7th best player overall.
8th seems fair  
Jimmy Googs : 6/26/2017 11:26 pm : link
maybe if he stops the yacht trips he'll move up next season...
Imagine how great Beckham could be...

Yeah. Maybe then he'll show up to OTAs, too. We can only hope.

There is no way Zeke is better than  
chuckydee9 : 6/27/2017 8:18 am : link
OBJ..Zeke plays on a loaded offense.. OBJ was the only effective offensive player we had last year..
Dak's the infuriating one.  
area junc : 6/27/2017 9:25 am : link
At least Zeke is an outstanding talent.
Dak did a solid job for what they asked of him but anyone who thinks he'd even sniff the top 100 players on merit is high as a kite! He's a middle of the road QB and that's just the QB position!
Snacks not happy and he's had a chip on his shoulder his whole

Gotta talk about something during this down period. Might as well be this, as lame as it is.

I think it was Eric Davis who said that only around half of the players actually participate.

The female host of the 'Reaction' show said 902 (or somewhere around that number) players voted. Have no idea if that is half the active players in the league or not.

Surprised that OBJ is ranked that high  
eclipz928 : 6/27/2017 1:21 pm : link
Been hearing this narrative the last couple years that other players can't stand him, of think he's overrated - being placed 8th kinda contradicts that that sentiment.
I honestly thought  
JoeyBigBlue : 6/27/2017 1:35 pm : link
Last year was OBJ's worse as a pro. Way too many dropped TD passes. I don't think he was a top 10 player in the whole league.

I won't argue that it wasn't his worst year because it was. I think that's because of how teams played us. No other superstar got keyed on as much as OBJ. He was the primary focus every single game. Teams took away the long ball, so he took the short passes to the house. He is 100% a top 10 player in the league, IMO.

OBJ: 101 catches-1367 yards-10 TD's-518 YAC-60% catch rate
AB: 106 catches-1284 yards-12 TD's-387 YAC-68% catch rate
Julio: 83 catches-1409 yards-6 TD's-423 YAC-64% catch rate

When you factor in what OBJ had to deal with vs those other 2. I believe OBJ had the best season. The fact that it may have been his worst season is a testament to how good this kid is.
OBJ had literally zero help in the middle or on the outside  
GMenLTS : 6/27/2017 2:08 pm : link
our OL and TEs couldn't run or pass block, forcing Eli to throw within moments after the snap.

That Odell managed to put up those stats, with the above taken into consideration, it's pretty unbelievable.

Now excuse me while I pause to imagine the stats with Bmarsh on the outside and Engram going up the seam....

His teammates had nothing to do with the 5-6 TDs he dropped last season.
He had 6 drops all season.  
Keith : 6/27/2017 2:58 pm : link
Where are these 5-6 TD's that he dropped?

It's ridiculous to suggest that he's not in the top 10 because of drops. Yes, he dropped too many passes last year, but he also caught 101 balls and had over 500 YAC which no other WR can say. He had double digit TD's and was top 3 in the NFL in catches and yards. All while his offense around him was falling apart. All while defenses double teamed him every single play. All while Eli had to unload the ball in 1.5 seconds.

It's amazing that some people will only look at the negatives with this kid when his positives are other worldly.
Keith, the 5-6 TD drops  
David in LA : 6/27/2017 2:59 pm : link
can be found in Joey Big Blue's ass, because that's where he pulled those numbers out of.
He dropped  
JoeyBigBlue : 6/27/2017 3:02 pm : link
2 against the Packers playoffs game

1 in each Dallas game

I'll look for the 2 others



Joey, some of those catches he should have had  
David in LA : 6/27/2017 3:06 pm : link
but at the same time, the guy is getting Calvin Johnson treatment, especially in that Packers game. OBJ has to work MUCH harder than almost any other WR since he doesn't have the luxury of a decent weapon around him to take attention away, nor did the team have any semblance of a running attack until we got away from Jennings.
You won't find them, but good luck.  
Keith : 6/27/2017 3:07 pm : link
He dropped 2 TD's vs the Packers? I remember 1 and the other one was a first down that he dropped, not a TD. No?

Listen, regardless of all that. He does so much good that it's scary what this kids ceiling is. I don't understand why you are only focused on the negative. Even with a down year as far as drops, the positives skyrocket him into the upper echelon of NFL players. The kid was electric last year in a year when every team bracketed him and kept a guy over the top. It's absolutely amazing what he did last year considering the other factors.

Well, I dunno... an argument can definitely be made for both players. Being behind a guy who rushed for nearly 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 16 total TD's in his rookie years isn't entirely disrespectful.
You can't put a rookie who had one oustanding season  
Brown Recluse : 6/27/2017 3:30 pm : link
in front of a guy who has been doing it at the highest level for 3 years. Thats ridiculous.

You can when it's a list for the 2016 season.
If it was the top 100 players of 2016  
Brown Recluse : 6/27/2017 5:00 pm : link
and not the top 100 players as of 2016 then that makes more sense

I didn't watch it and the OP never specified
According to two places..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/27/2017 5:04 pm : link
I looked, he dropped 6 PASSES on one site and 7 on another. Not TD's - passes. Since I can recall three of the drops being on short outs or slants early in games, the most TD's he could have dropped was 4.

By the way - I'm not sure where the myth happened that he dropped two TD's vs. the Packers. His first drop would've been a key 3rd down conversion inside the 20.

Completely incorrect memories using to take away from how good he has been.

every pass he drops is a potential TD pass dropped.
