So many mixed emotions and feelings. This is all, a lot to process but it is reality. I don’t kno exactly what to say so just gotta keep it real and short. I want to thank the NY giants organization for giving me an opportunity to do what God put me on this earth to do , I want to thank the organization and the owners for everything and especially giving me my first chance to be a part of the NFL. I want thank everyone in that building from the kitchen staff to my main man Jo& #347;e! I loved you guys dearly and always will. I gave u my all every Sunday. To the fans, some happy , some not, I just wanna thank u guys for making my experience in NY SOMETHIN ILL NEVER FORGET! To the New Yorkers and REAL NYG fans... you guys will always have a place in my heart, a beautiful city .. a beautiful place Thank You for every last moment and experience. Without them, I wouldn’t be exactly who I am today ! LUV & #10084;& #65039; & #9994;& #127998; |
Glaringly...
But let's not nitpick a nice farewell message.
I'll miss Odell... he knows some fans will, some fans wont. We all know that.
What all Giants fans should be able to agree on is that we have to move on now and see where things go from here.
No, but he mentions everyone in the building from the Kitchen Staff to Jose.
But let's not nitpick a nice farewell message.
I wanna nitpick!
Well played.
EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING
nice try though
What exactly did he want?
This is just me, but I feel good about this team now that he's not here.
Like, I'm excited to watch them next year now.
No distractions, no incessant questions. Can fly under the radar. It will be so good for this team. Watch.
Please provide some sources. Over analyzing tweets don’t count.
Did he REALLY want out of here? Or, was he immature and said things that he felt but were better left unsaid? And just because he voiced his thoughts, was it really his intent, wish, desire to leave the Giants??? Was his missing games at the end of the last season really all about telling the team to F-off and to ensure they would trade him?
I don't know... that's why I'm asking!
But for christ sakes this was as obvious as... well maybe not to some.
Broke his leg
came back and was a model citizen, didnt hold out, worked hard, kept his mouth shut
Go PIZZZAID 91 million dollars
Went on ESPN with LiL Wayne and said he didnt want to be in NYC and subtly trashed Eli
Faked an injury for the last 4 games and basically disappeared, wasnt on the sidelines, nothing.
Giants had to trade him... No choice

I gave u my all every Sunday

Thanks Jon. Any info. on whether on not he sat himself out the last 4 games as a way of stirring the pot a bit?
We figured out a way to keep him on the team and some of the terrible shit he did was released to the public at the time.
OBJ has never done anything remotely close to that crap, and he's vilified.
Hopefully Engram can take over or the Barkley show will be nothing but 2yds a carry with 9 man fronts.
And, LT never sat out a football game to try and make a selfish point.
But when it's something you don't like it's BS. Too funny.
And, LT never sat out a football game to try and make a selfish point.
LT failed drug tests in 1987. He still played for the Giants for many years after that.
What exactly has OBJ done that is remotely close to that?
The bar is too high for you? That's on you.
There's no debate here. You're emotional.

The whole he sat out rationalization is hilarious to me. Our team was going absolutely nowhere, and the team sat him out so he wouldn't be seriously injured and have to rehab over the offseason.
News flash the team is going to say whatever the hell they want to say now so suckers like yourself with feel better about it.
God forbid anyone with any kind of a flamboyant personality could be apart of this team.

Faked an injury?! You guys have lost your fuckin minds. If you watched the bears game it was clear Odell was hobbled but half of you nimwits would have rather he risk blowing out a knee or worse in the last 4 meaningless games of the season. Questioning Odell’s desire to play the game? Of all people?

You have fun with that, junior. Time to grow up.
I'm not sure how this is so unbelievable to some. The early exits to the lockerroom, the tension with Schurmur (and apparently cursing), the Lil Wayne interview, the onside kick business decision...my guess is, among other things, that he thought Eli was holding him back. Not so sure I believe the whole didn't want to play second fiddle to Saquon

I haven't found 1 source that can remotely confirm that OBJ sat himself or could have played in those last few games.
If it's the shit you hear on the radio spewed from Boomer and what not, WFAN has a partnership with the Giants.
I used to help setup the damn stage for Mike Francessa when he setup his Sunday show at the stadium.
You really think WFAN isn't going to have a pretty clear bias, so they don't mess up their relationship with the organization?
Strange logic considering the QB outplayed him in the only important game they ever played together.
But again, your OBJ13 Brownies jersey is probably already ordered and on its way.
Enjoy!

Eli hasn't outplayed much of anyone over the past 7 seasons, especially the last few. Big part of the reason we are where we are.
Enjoy yet another sub .500 record this season, and a CAREER sub .500 record for Eli Manning. LMAO.
I'll tell you this though, your performance on this thread is weak and emotional. Sorry you lost a favorite player.
Are you trying to be proven right about something?
Is it that you ride Beckham's jock?
Sam Darnold's?
What is the reason?
Put your big boy pants on. We're not kids anymore who cry when their favorite player gets traded or injured.
Loved watching him play, will keep pulling for him to succeed in Cleveland because I have nothing against him. But it wasn't working here.
This needs to be about NYG. Not Odell Beckham.

Beckham's legacy here is a boat trip and generally just being a bitch. If you couldn't see that coming that's on you.
Chris my only comment is on this very specific portion of your post. Who cares about Eli's record? Meaningless statistic which by the way Eli also owns.
More interested in TEAM wins for the fans. I would love to trade places with Eli.

After a horrific past 7 years, I have ZERO sympathy for the Giants or Eli Manning anymore. Still a Giants fan, watch all of the games, but I no longer sympathize with a team tha makes the same mistakes year after year. If a player can get out of this mess and go to a better team in their prime, good for them. I;m not going to be a homer and suck the teet of every move this franchise makes and pretend it's a great move like you and a certain few others. The writing has been on the wall for almost a FULL decade now. Not my fault you're too slow to realize it. But, hey, its all over very soon, so. Enjoy one more year of a shit-show.
Cancer.
Just trying to find out how another "Giants fan" would find any potential downfall of the team or a current player on it, laughable.

Are you gonna cry? Why am I no longer a fan? Because I call them out on an awful 7 years? You guys are on another planet. Everyone outside of this BBI bubble laughs at idiots such as yourself.

Would suggest people read this over and over. The trade stunned me. I greatly enjoyed the player. But we're moving forward. Let's go
Curious. When he says "real" fans, is he excluding any bandwagon fans who just placed their order on NFL Shop for a new Browns jersey? Or it he excluding those fans who are happy to see him gone?
he still does

Since when was doing drugs and banging hookers a bad thing, wasn't Odel in that hotel with cocaine as well?
As Giants fans we understand the need for Jose.

Beckham saved people's jobs? Looking at the front office, coaching staff, and player roster that doesn't appear to be the case.

What would Eli's career passer rating be if they never drafted Beckham? Worse than 47th all time?

Eli would've been gone a while ago without Odell. Reese was allowed to stick around as long as he did because of Odell. McAdoo only got the job because of what Odell did for the offense. Considering that ownership had begun to force changes to his coaching staff, Coughlin probably would've been gone a year earlier without the improvement in the offense that was clearly all about Odell.
Beckham ain't shit compared to Eli Manning. Who the fuck is Odell Beckham? The next important thing he does will be the first.

Truth. He didn't show up at all in the only big game he played.
Did Eli show up in his first playoff game? Perhaps it's just dumb to base one's opinion of a player on one game.
After the fifth year of his career Beckham got run out of town because they couldn't stand him anymore.
Don't compare Beckham to Eli, LT, or any other great Giant. He isn't remotely in their class.

Eli and LT were not the sole reason for SB victories, but they were a damn big reason.
Beckham was on one team that had a chance to do something, and he had a huge hand on the field and off it in fucking that game up.
If your case for a player's excellence is based on a rationalization, it isn't a great case. The guy had three great statistical seasons as a Giant, two of which were terrible team seasons...and we're going to compare him to Eli and LT? Get the fuck out of here.
I’m not a Cancer....... I’m a Scorpio ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ¤ª sorry for the confusion
It absolutely was a mistake. How'd it work out? How have these last five years been for the Giants? It's not all on him, but part of it sure is. The guy is a losing player that was part of a toxic locker room over that period of time. Yeah, it was a mistake.
re: Packer game - Eli had it right, young player got psyched out by a game "made it bigger than it was" - shit like that happens.
great player, generational talent. one of best talents to ever play for Giants. If the issues with him and coaching staff compelled them to trade him, I'm okay with it but I'm not delusional or dishosent about how good a player he was.

That's a wild take man. We drafted an all-pro receiver who we then exchanged for some potentially useful assets. Unfortunately he showed up as the team was going in the tank. His demeanor didn't always make the situation better and in the end we traded him a year too late. His production on the field really can't be argued. If anything it's just shown that great WR does not equal great offense/team. All of these things can be true.
I respect your knowledge but cannot get over this "losing player" stuff you keep saying, as if one player besides maybe a QB can single handedly change a football team's fortunes. If the Browns win the division and maybe a playoff game or two, is he no longer a losing player? Or is he the same guy with better players around him? We could have taken Aaron Donald, but I'm pretty sure our record wouldn't be much different. So would he be considered a losing player?
In the end, you were right about how this would play out. I'm just not sure why your victory lap has to include such off the wall statements. Just take the win and move on

Over the next few years we will get to see how true that is. We will see if he can lift the Brown out of perpetual mediocre at best status.
His numbers in his first 2 seasons with Odell (2014-2015) are better than anyone not named Brady or Aaron Rodgers. (They're pretty much equal with Drew Brees.)
If anyone is too hardheaded to admit that Odell extended Eli's career, that's on them. It's neither one of their faults that the team lost so much the past 5 years. They didn't draft Ereck Flowers or Eli Apple. They also didn't put out a terrible defense for 80% of the time period. They were both wasted.

Do those last 4 games even matter?
Most of us wanted to continue to tank for a better draft pick at that point.
This board also wanted him to not risk getting injured any further as well because it would be dumb to have him even more injured and not be able to start this upcoming season.
The revisionist history is quite pathetic around here to rationalize why he was traded.

You're being disingenuous if you can't acknowledge the fact that Odell has never once had a roster or even coaching around him anywhere near the 2007 or 80s teams. The closest would be 2016, in which the offense was so fucking broken that he was literally the only working part (and yet was still double teamed constantly).
I think you and your like are the ones doing the whining, since it's been proven that there was so much bullshit from this guy that the Giants saw fit to trade him.
Those same people kept Josh Brown around until the media exposed that he was a wife beater... information they were already privy to. The Giants kept Eli Manning around because idiot fans complained. Let's not pretend the Giants' decision-making is anything to laud.
I said in a previous thread, if I was a coach and he cursed me on the sidelines - at halftime - he wouldn't play a down in the second half.
He really needed a different a different HC with some exemplary leadership and people skills to manage him. That wasn't coming newbies like McAdoo and Shurmur. Those guys don't have the pelts or the DNA to figure OBJ out.
Talent wise, there are a lot of similarities between LT and OBJ. LT just happened to be from a different generation and was the beneficiary of a strong figure head in Parcells.
If you sort of trend it out, you can't help but think OBJ will ultimately pull the same sh-t in Cleveland. It's just the pattern. And the chances of first time HC, Freddie Kitchens, being able to control and manage that is basically laughable...
Funny how that works.
BB would have stifled that shit - with the quickness
dogging games, cursing out coaches - that's the type stuff that will get your bags packed for you.
Regardless of whether someone liked the trade or not - just form an opinion based on the most accuarte facts available.
I said in a previous thread, if I was a coach and he cursed me on the sidelines - at halftime - he wouldn't play a down in the second half.
Please find a source that states that he could have played? Just one that's all I ask.
I was shocked that TC didn't check him during the Panthers game.
Not sure where it flipped for him (maybe the attention from the one handed catch?) But I don't think it's unreasonable to say the Giants let him down. The infrastructure was not in place to manage this player off the field with a strong leader at HC, or on the field with proper talent around him. It is unfortunate. I'm genuinely curious to see how this goes in Cleveland. Maybe I've just had him pegged wrong the entire time and it falls apart there as well.

I agree partly but wasnt Coughlin criticized for not "controlling" Beckham during the whole incident with Josh Norman? Tom has the pelts and still struggled with him as well.
On the other hand, with four meaningless games left, did we really need one of the most important assets out on the field playing?
Yeah you are probably right...
Problem children like OBJ, generally decent guys who let their emotions get the best of them , doing crazy impulsive shit, don't know when to shut fuck up, hotheads, etc. The right people and circumstances can modify that behavior. Trust me - I know.
I agree partly but wasnt Coughlin criticized for not "controlling" Beckham during the whole incident with Josh Norman? Tom has the pelts and still struggled with him as well.
The Josh Norman incident was the most sensationalized pile of horseshit ever. People never let it go. I don't recall anyone ever saying why can't Marvin Lewis control AJ Green?

But there is a sadness to it because he is an extraordinary athlete playing WR. His skills were so rare. It's going to take something pretty special for me to think there as ever been a receiver with more natural gifts. When OBJ was on, I've never seen that ability to get in and out of cuts so effortlessly, and then find another gear after that. He really is blessed by the football Gods.

That was doomed not to work. The gap between age and lifestyles was just too wide. OBJ is AAU basketball. Probably been catered to his entire life playing sports. Coughlin, by contrast, wanted humble, discipline, and team commitment.
We figured out a way to keep him on the team and some of the terrible shit he did was released to the public at the time.
OBJ has never done anything remotely close to that crap, and he's vilified.
One kept the home safe, the other turned into an unpleasant shithole.

After the fifth year of his career Beckham got run out of town because they couldn't stand him anymore.
Don't compare Beckham to Eli, LT, or any other great Giant. He isn't remotely in their class.
Get this revisionist nonsense the fuck out of here.
There were serious fucking questions about the viability of Eli Manning as a starting quarterback late in the 2007 season before they got hot as a team lead by their defense and run game, and this kind of bootlicking propaganda will get you likes by the fellow knuckledraggers and 30-50 year olds that lose there fucking minds trying to run down a 26 year old.
But I think you were spot on re: biting the hand that fed him, - think he respected the coaching staff. Never recall any stories of him having antagonistic relationship whith BB or Parcells. He was a pain in the ass for them I'm sure. But there appeared to have been mutual respect.

Go read what jtgiants is saying about Beckham on his thread. Beckham was a cancer and part of the reason the locker room was garbage.
Sorry, but I nailed this guy for what he is years ago. The Giants will be a better football team because Beckham is gone. The guy is a loser and a cancer.

I agree partly but wasnt Coughlin criticized for not "controlling" Beckham during the whole incident with Josh Norman? Tom has the pelts and still struggled with him as well.
The Josh Norman incident was the most sensationalized pile of horseshit ever. People never let it go. I don't recall anyone ever saying why can't Marvin Lewis control AJ Green?
Do you think that clip is anywhere on the same lines as the Beckham/Norman clip?
Problem children like OBJ, generally decent guys who let their emotions get the best of them , doing crazy impulsive shit, don't know when to shut fuck up, hotheads, etc. The right people and circumstances can modify that behavior. Trust me - I know.
Agree. Adam Henry should also be helpful. But IMO the situation will be the biggest factor. The Browns are an ascending young team. Winning will go along way in helping Beckham keep his emotions in check.

How wasn’t it? What about Andre Johnson or the countless players that have gotten physical with refs or thrown flags called on them into the crowd? Or break their kids bones? Let’s all keep treating Beckham like the serial killer he is!!! Pitchforks!!
