He obviously looks up to Brady a good deal. I could think of about 500 worse players to idolize.
But I already know where this thread will predictably go...
He's not Brady, doesn't have the hardware, thus he shouldn't compare himself. Etc, etc. etc.
Hence "chasin" I suppose. That he aspires to be on Brady's level.
I wouldn't see this as anything negative, despite the fact that the troglodyte comment crowd on Instagram immediately read that as a desire to join the Patriots.
with each of them being demonstrative. Get over it Odell, people aren't criticizing your emotion on the field unless you're spearing a defender who isn't looking, or pretending to pee on the endline.

That's not exactly accurate. Some people find ANY reason to criticize him and his emotion on the field/sideline.
an argument? Yes. However, I feel he really just needs to let it go. No matter what he's going to have critics and constantly posting/mentioning about the "double standard" is kind of defeating the purpose.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure this board still brings up the kicking net
the player who is emotional on the field/sidelines and has never taken a personal foul or been suspended and has 5 SB rings and multiple MVPs is viewed one way
and the supremely talented, and also emotional player, who has had his emotions hurt his team, and hasn't exactly performed his best on the biggest stage isn't viewed that same way?
I agree, double standard and there should be.
Love Odell. Look forward to watching him dominate Â
for the Giants for the next 10 years. He has dominated from the first time he stepped on the field. However, I don't see this as a double standard. Tom Brady doesn't get vilified for this stuff, but not because he's white or because he's a QB or because people love him, but because he has earned that right over the past 10 years. He's proven to be a great leader and a winner. What about the extra stuff that goes beyond fire and passion? Again, love me so OBJ, but posts like this tell me that he hasn't really learned much.

That is true, I thought the whole kicking the net thing was blown completely out of proportion, but comparing himself to Brady is never going to end well.

I'm fairly certain Odell could have 500 yards receiving in a Super Bowl win and people would want to run him out of town the next time he did something they didn't like
To me, it looks like he is looking to also become the GOAT. No issue with him acknowledging that Brady is one of the GOAT. Showing that both are fiery competitors I guess?
those of Brady, but sideline demonstrations are not the issue with Beckham. It's his behavior on the field that has cost the Giants yardage and, at times, games. Brady has never cost his team yardage or games.
I know this has nothing to do with his on field performance etc but posts like this just make me like the guy less. I just think he’s a complete douchebag. I also like watching him be awesome on the Giants. Is that an ok stance for some of you guys?

I agree, double standard and there should be.
So you start by asking "what double standard?" and then admit that there is a double standard.
And the double standard goes way beyond the 5 SB rings. You'd have to be blind to not see that. But maybe this can be another J.D. Drew debate!
Keep that competitive fire. Be passionate. Be demonstrative. Be himself.
What I don't want Odell to continue to do:
Take penalties that hurt the team. Get into altercations on the field.
I think most people feel that way. The post above you believes it's binary but I don't think so. People are capable of nuance.
But it's not, really. Beckham has been one of the most productive players in NFL history through the stage in his career where he is, and there are fans who openly want him off the team, at any cost. That's not nuance. That's completely binary.

Forget all of the other stuff - just isolate the sideline stuff.
Beckham's outbursts are characterized as "tantrums" or him losing control while Brady's are characterized as "fiery" and "passionate"
That's what I think is unfair.
Beckham should be criticized when he takes a penalty that hurts his team.
Travis Kelce has taken about 5x as many of those types of penalties but he's the most productive TE in the league right now. I don't see anyone characterizing him as some sort of malcontent that KC should rid themselves of.

I didn't say "what double standard?" I asked specifically what IS the double standard. Very different question, I wasn't implying there wasn't one, I was clarifying it and justifying it.
I think you earn some level of a pass with fans and the media when you're a 5 time SB winner and 4 time SB MVP and 12 time pro-bowler, multiple time NFL MVP, and probably the GOAT at his position whose on-field emotional outbursts (while they have received scorn) have not hurt his team.
and let's not kid ourselves, if Beckham simply was emotional on the field like Brady IMO no, he wouldn't be so scrutinized, the whole peeing in the end zone, the cheap shot on Norman, the kicking net embarrassment, is well beyond being emotional.

Well this post pretty much sums it up.
Well, not exactly.
Sorry, I'll clarify, not suspended for emotional on-field incidents - which is obvious to the non-pedantic among us that is what's being compared here.
I can never tell whether he has inside information, or is just bloviating. He's super-connected but I don't think he always uses those connections before he goes off.
If it's true that the Giants' handling of Beckham has caused dissension in the locker room, the next coach is going to have to fix the dissension. That doesn't mean everybody necessarily gets the same treatment, it means that everybody's on board with the same program.
There are rare talents that come along once in a decade, or in a generation, or even in a century. We've watched other teams get guys like Randy Moss and Aaron Rodgers and Reggie White and on and on. We got LT, but since he retired, how many times have we wished we had one of those guys on the Giants? We got one. Enjoy him while you can, because football careers are short and uncertain.
You could trade him for an entire first round of draft picks and still not be sure of getting a guy that good.
suspended for emotions - not okay
suspended for cheating - okay
leave your team without it's best player for a game - not okay
leave your team without it's best player for multiple games - okay
I fail to see the double standard as well
Did you view the instagram post? Clearly you didn't.
Beckham seemed to be implying (or at least posters on here have) that he and Brady on-field emotions were the same, yet Beckham was unfairly viewed negatively for it while Brady was not.
while Brady's suspension for deflategate was certainly a black mark on his legacy it was pretty much bullshit and wholly unrelated to the point beckham was making.
Nowhere did anyone, me specifically, say Brady's actions for deflategate were ok? Nowhere, yet for some reason you want to conflate that into this point for some reason (agenda?)
I know this has nothing to do with his on field performance etc but posts like this just make me like the guy less. I just think he’s a complete douchebag. I also like watching him be awesome on the Giants. Is that an ok stance for some of you guys?
Of course it is (even though I don't agree). I really don't know why people care what he (or anyone else) has to say. I can also picture Odell taking 14 seconds to post that yet after reading the reactions people thinks he spends his entire day concocting this plan.
But I already know where this thread will predictably go...
He's not Brady, doesn't have the hardware, thus he shouldn't compare himself. Etc, etc. etc.
His tweets from earlier this week were spot on - it is a double standard.
It's clips of Brady's sideline behavior spliced in with clips of his own
