The Narrative That Makes No Sense

Emil : 11/13/2017 4:23 pm
I enjoy the sports Pope as much as any on this board, but his dislike of OBJ has jumped the shark. And it's not just him, as I've heard it from fans too.

Francessa's take is that OBJ has negatively influenced this team with his "the rules don't apply to me" behavior that it has made this team into a bunch of Odell Beckham Jr. Jr's, which has prevented them from righting the ship, and encouraged the revolt against the coach.

Ok, that sounds like a nice segment for a bad movie, but isn't it more likely that Janoris Jenkins is a well known head case, was kicked off his team in college, and despite his talent the Rams were ok with letting him walk? Isn't it more likely that he is a negative influence on the team?

How about Eli Apple? The young man has taken plays off nearly all year. Wants no part of contact the past few weeks, and has insulted the organization's culture.

There are other players, but I don't need to beat a dead horse. Blaming OBJ for the current play of the team, because the organization didn't punish the star WR for excessive celebration penalties last year and this year absolves these highly paid players of their own actions and horrible play. Never mind that OBJ has not been part of this team since early October, and when he was part of the team, the other players clearly fed off of his superior play. I get it, many hate OBJ, and Francessa really hates him. But trying to say the kid gloves the organization treated him with is the reason the defensive secondary has quit on the season is a manufactured narrative in order to perpetuate the sports Pope's opinions.

After watching yesterday, give me 11 OBJs, at least they wouldn't quit.

GOAT QB? Whatever you're on, you should share it.
I think he's saying the problem isn't necessarily Beckham  
Go Terps : 11/13/2017 5:23 pm : link
It's that Beckham was allowed to be a dipshit without repercussion.

That's on the coaches (including and especially Coughlin) and the front office.
the narrative makes plenty of sense  
bluepepper : 11/13/2017 5:25 pm : link
from Francesa's perspective. Ripping into Eli Apple or Janoris Jenkins is great but ripping into OBJ makes for much better radio. He's a lightning rod and Francesa's known it since early on and has milked it for all it's worth. What the truth is has nothing do with anything when it comes to guys like him.
It only takes..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/13/2017 5:28 pm : link
an unfounded theory to take root by appearing to show causation that doesn't exist.

People continue to say that OBJ's behavior is a distraction, even though he's been gone several weeks because it can't be refuted. The guy does odd celebrations, so he's clearly a distraction. Nevermind the fact that he isn't around, try and refute that his antics don't hurt the teaum.

It can be easily done, but you're dealing with idiots who don't have a clue and don't seem particularly interested in getting one.

Probably the same people that are convinced Eli is hurting our WR's and if a different guy was in that OBJ would be healthy.

Which would be a conundrum in itself!!
Agree. Beckham Needs to Grow Up A Little  
clatterbuck : 11/13/2017 5:30 pm : link
but he practices hard, works hard, and is passionate about winning. He is a uniquely talented kid with an outsized personality. He is not the root of the Giants problem and it's typical of Francesa to make something up and bloviate about it incessantly.

I think Coughlin was trying to tell Reese and Ross something. I don't think Reese and Ross take leadership into account when putting together the draft board. They seem to think coaching will compensate for leadership and a lack of quality coaching/technique coming out of college.

Like Reese says, coach em up.


Exactly how did Coughlin do that?

started saying what I have been saying since the Panthers game.

Last year I was all over OBJ and JPP and saw this titanic coming from a mile away. No matter what anyone here says I was on an island. People have revisionist history when they say they "didn't want to re-sign JPP" or "I always said OBJ was more of a headache than he is worth". That's BS.

I got called every name in the book (still do) for expressing the unpopular opinion.

Imagine if we had traded OBJ for 2 firsts and a 2nd and not re-signed JPP like I asked for last year? We'd be having a FAR different discussion right now.

No- not a source. RG3 who never played a down of football was worth that. Think about that. Also Beckham is one of the most popular players in the league.

Teams would have been lining up around the block to give us 2 firsts and a 2nd.
Beckham has been essentially nonexistant for the entire year

Re OBJ: I like him. I'm old school yet understand why the antics, except for the helmet hit.Right now he's our 1 marketable asset. He has a contract phase coming up, and while he could be kept here for 3 more seasons, unless he is / can be convinced this fail can all turn around in that time, with an arrow up, he walks.
Not sure how owners feel about him and his 'stuff' but if they are down on him,it may be best to move him now for picks, find a complementary WR for Shep and Engram, rather than lose him for a 3rd round comp pick.
Much will first depend on how both sides feel about each other and the Giants future.

arcarsenal : 11/13/2017 6:49 pm : link
The Redskins traded for the fantasy of RG3 - him not having played a down yet actually enhanced his value at the time because all he was, was potential.

He also is a QB.

Who was the last WR to be traded for two first round picks AND a 2nd round pick?

Two firsts and a second for Beckham isn't a good trade  
81_Great_Dane : 11/13/2017 6:57 pm : link
unless your main goal is to get Beckham off the team.

People forget what a crapshoot the draft is, even as we are sitting here shitting on one first-round pick who became a star (OBJ) another everybody wants to run out of town (Eli Apple) and a third who seems be underperforming and has people divided (JPP).

A lot of people think we'll just build a dynasty with the picks, like Dallas did with the picks from the Herschel Walker trade. If that's what you're assuming, have a look at what the Rams got for Eric Dickerson. (Spoiler alert: Those picks didn't amount to much.)

OBJ is a generational talent. He's the kind of guy every fan base salivates over. He's been better than most #1 overall picks. It is extremely unlikely the Giants would get a player as good with the picks they'd get.

Who was the last WR as talented as Beckham who led the league in jersey sales?

Now what do we do? It's possible that not only is this kid an absolute headache when he plays but he also may now be running anonymously to his friend Josina Anderson to complain about the HC.

It's past immaturity at this point. The kid loves himself and his brand more than the team and his teammates. Almost impossible to win with guys like that, regardless of talent. Poor attitude is a disease in team sports.

Except it's not about talent. That is undeniable. It's about the uniform. The teammates. The fans. The desire for ring #5. That's why we tune in on Sunday. Not to see a talented kid pee like a dog in the end zone and not even be a smidgent remorseful for the 15 yard team killing penalties.

He just doesn't care about anyone or anything about himself and his brand.

Not sure how that penalty killed the team but regardless your last statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Does he care about his brand? Absolutely, any smart player in a sport where your career could be done on one hit would.

Does he not care about winning and the Giants? That’s a made up narrative. The guy works his ass off and cares about winning. He didn’t put a hole in the Packers locker room because his party plans got canceled.

as individuals. This place has a habit of flipping on guys at the drop of a hat. As soon as they start losing and making a play you don't like, you start assuming they quit and are stealing money. It's not about the teammates. It's about the win-loss record of your favorite uniform.

And that's fine.

You're using things against him that are likely not even true and you're basing everything you want the Giants to do off the fact that you don't like Beckham - which is a terrible way to form opinions or make judgments.

I understand that you're incredibly biased and not very bright, but Beckham is so obviously not one of the anonymous sources that spoke to Josina Anderson. They're both on the defense, and very likely both from the secondary (I'd guess it's both of the players who BMc suspended this year since they have a financial reason to sling arrows out of spite).

i agree, i think the hate for OBJ is unnecessary. i also think its stupid to blame him for anything going on. could we get 2 1s and a 2 for him? 100% but i dont want to do it. OBJ is a core piece...he will grow up and mature....but to say he doesnt care is stupid. he wants to win...prob more than most. my guess...put some pieces in place up front, draft a QB and give eli another shot with a healthy roster and a new HC and culture...

Why is it always the personal attacks with you guys? Smh. If I am so stupid why am I proven so god damn right all of the time? Do you think I want the franchise I've rooted for.since I am 6 to go up in flames?

Name the players who are confirmed to have ever texted Josina Anderson. It's a short list. Go ahead look it up. But it CAN'T be that guy?

I don't like Beckham because of what he did to a once proud franchise. Look around. We are here because we sacrificed the foundational beliefs of how a franchise should be run by allowing someone with a clear mental illness to make the rules. Now when it explodes I am supposed to defend him?

My favorite non game day as a Giants fan was when we drafted Eli. My 2nd favorite will be tje day that headcase leaves the team for good.



Can't wait for you to spin this into all of us being insensitive to mental illness. ICONIC.


Can't wait for you to realize TWICE that you have no rational response when challenged on your opinion and attack the poster directly- TWICE.

Who was the last WR as talented as Beckham who led the league in jersey sales?

Now what do we do? It's possible that not only is this kid an absolute headache when he plays but he also may now be running anonymously to his friend Josina Anderson to complain about the HC.

It's past immaturity at this point. The kid loves himself and his brand more than the team and his teammates. Almost impossible to win with guys like that, regardless of talent. Poor attitude is a disease in team sports.

How was that an attack on you? Is it not a fact that you once started a thread from an incredibly homophobic position that has no basis in reality and then accused every poster who replied to your thread and called you out of being homophobic themselves? So you once again created a fictional statement (read: lie) that Beckham suffers from a "clear mental illness" and it's unreasonable you to expect you to twist that into a claim that others are insensitive to mental illness?

Capitalizing "TWICE" doesn't make you correct. In fact, you're rarely, if ever, correct (maybe not even ONCE), despite the frequency with which you like to pat yourself on the back.

Your favorite organization supposedly gave up its foundational beliefs for Odell, and you choose to hate Odell? Please, that's bullshit. Look, Odell can be a distraction. I will not argue that. But his behavior has been tolerated for quite some time, starting with Coughlin refusing to take him off the field against Carolina (which I cannot blame; trying to safe his job). Nonetheless, the organization failed him by not addressing the behavior right away. If you don't potty train your dog, and he's still peeing in the house when he's three years old, is it really the dog's fault? Sure it's his piss, but whose responsible for the behavior?

Who was the last WR to be traded for two first round picks AND a 2nd round pick?


John Jefferson from SD to the Packers? 1982ish?

Anyone?
It is about creating a double standard for a star player. The great players are not me first people like OBJ. Even LT’s actions off the field did not cause a distraction in the same way OBJ has. The foolish penalties and sideline antics cannot just be attributed to being young when you are in the 4th year of your career.

unless your main goal is to get Beckham off the team.

People forget what a crapshoot the draft is, even as we are sitting here shitting on one first-round pick who became a star (OBJ) another everybody wants to run out of town (Eli Apple) and a third who seems be underperforming and has people divided (JPP).

A lot of people think we'll just build a dynasty with the picks, like Dallas did with the picks from the Herschel Walker trade. If that's what you're assuming, have a look at what the Rams got for Eric Dickerson. (Spoiler alert: Those picks didn't amount to much.)

OBJ is a generational talent. He's the kind of guy every fan base salivates over. He's been better than most #1 overall picks. It is extremely unlikely the Giants would get a player as good with the picks they'd get.



Except it's not about talent. That is undeniable. It's about the uniform. The teammates. The fans. The desire for ring #5. That's why we tune in on Sunday. Not to see a talented kid pee like a dog in the end zone and not even be a smidgent remorseful for the 15 yard team killing penalties.

He just doesn't care about anyone or anything about himself and his brand.



Not sure how that penalty killed the team but regardless your last statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Does he care about his brand? Absolutely, any smart player in a sport where your career could be done on one hit would.

Does he not care about winning and the Giants? That’s a made up narrative. The guy works his ass off and cares about winning. He didn’t put a hole in the Packers locker room because his party plans got canceled.
Selfish players do not equate to winning teams. Seems a lot of people think that talent alone will win championships. Team chemistry wins. OBJ while very talented is all about himself. I do not care how hard he works. One other thing is that coming off the injury we are not sure how this affects his game which relies on cutting and speed.
I don't agree with Francessa. He's small-minded and very biased

against OBJ. However,

I don't care how hard Beckham works. When I watch his behavior on the field, I'm watching a guy who may place winning among his top three priorities, but it definitely isn't number one. His brand and his appetite for attention are top two, and if that doesn't change, this team will not win with him.
OBJ makes TO look reasonable...  
bw in dc : 11/14/2017 4:39 pm : link
He is the complete antithesis of what a prototypical Giant is supposed to act and sound like. I have found most of his antics repugnant. So I can easily see why The Pope keeps pounding away...

But in my many years of watching football, he is the most gifted receiver I have ever seen. A once in a generational talent. I guess he could be a few inches taller, just to say he has the ultimate speed/height ratio thing, but the combination of hands, speed, quickness (especially in and out of cuts) and catching radius are incredible. Those combined skills are so rare that you have to find a way to keep him, assuming he's still the same post surgery.

In fact, one of the key reasons for the next hire, assuming McAdoo is gone, would be that candidate demonstrating he has the people skills to manage OBJ/millennials. This is one of the reasons why I would push it as far as I could go to hire Jim Harbaugh. He seems to be well dialed in with this generation...

But I'm wondering what everyone sees as this awful behavior from the guy. The Norman thing seemed like two guys going at each other--I didn't throw it all on Beckham. Something a young guy might do. What's the other awful stuff? the kicking net was dumb, but didn't seem to be shaking the foundational core of the organization or anything.

Can someone point me to the behavior from Beckham that has destroyed this team?

He went on a boat on his off day last year 6 days before a playoff game! Shattered the organization. Will be years before we recover.

Beckham is the most competitive player on the team, IMO. How he handles that competitiveness sometimes results in some moments of immaturity, but I genuinely believe that he's the most competitive guy on the team and that it is his absolute #1 priority.

Winning will give him the attention he wants, and the attention will drive his brand. He's no dummy - he understands that (again, IMO).

Yea, because Odell held out, had a media circus in his driveway and called out his QB.

What's a protypical Giant behavior? LT? Tito Wooten? Luke Pettigout? Get a grip.
