OBJ is a slow starter

BestFeature : 10/12/2018 11:34 pm
So as far as I could remember he always starts slow and then goes off close to midseason. I did the math and that was verified. Basically, this is total is his 2nd highest total in the first 6 games of his career (including last year's games prorated).

The following are his yards after 6 games:

2014: 463
2015: 489
2016: 581
2017 (prorated): 453
2018: 506

Now yes he's behind in TDs. And yes 2014 it might be because he was a rookie and 2017 it might have been because he was injured (in fact I didn't take into account that it wasn't a full 4 games but that probably wouldn't have mattered). I still think we shouldn't worry. In fact this was the only season he had 3 100 yard games in the first 6. I don't think he's necessarily slowing down. This offense is just broken. Also consider that the 2014 and 2015 offense was much better and the total is even more impressive. He absolutely torched arguably the best secondary in the NFL in the Jags week 1 of THIS season. Including beating those guys deep so badly a number of times they had to take a penalty and other times Eli missed. He could have easily had over 200 yards and 2 TDs. Unless his injury decided to take a break for a week, I don't think he lost much.
He would put up 1600+ seasons every year if this offense

Wasn’t largely dysfunctional for most of his career. I think he will thrive with an improved line and the next qb.

The passing offense isn’t run through him and the running offense isn’t run through Barkley is beyond me. It’s ezactly what the Steelers do when Brown and Bell are both in the lineup. I’m a Shurmur fan, love the hire, but he seems to prefer to adopt the philosophy of if OBJ is double covered then someone is open. This is not illogical. But often times that someone is a 2nd string TE or 3rd or 4th WR who isn’t going to do much with the ball. Better to scheme Odell open a dozen times a game. Move him around the formation. Schurmur does it sometimes then goes away from it. Mind boggling.

Let me clarify. The Giants running offense does go through Barkley. I meant the Giants offensive philosophy should be the passing game is schemed around OBJ and the run game around Barkley as two complimentary principles of the O.

He gets his yards after we're essentially eliminated from the playoffs.

I like the positive attitude. Usually I think of you as a negative dick face. But this was a nice change of pace.

You're a black hole at this point. Hate to see it.

I get that you dislike Odell but you just are not even being rational.

That's fine. I barely noticed you were gone.
Slow starter?

and I thought it was the OL and qb.....
Seemed to me he quit Thursday night after his tantrum/head butt...  
JCin332 : 10/13/2018 9:33 am : link
Very weird like he was pissed that SB was the only one on offense that was having any success...

Very strange guy...

Based off what? Did you miss the clip of him on the sideline celebrating Barkley’s TD?

You know two things can be true at the same time.

That Beckham cannot contribute to winning football you are completely lost.

Harry Carson did nothing but lose throughout 75% of his career. It was only when the team around him improved that the team finally won.

Simplistic horse shit. Sorry but it is.

I'm not sure if that was in general or if you think I think that.
