Laugh at Odell sure, but Mara should be fuming

huygens20 : 12/8/2019 7:35 pm
fuming for getting duped into believing that Odell was a net negative and team wrecker.

The Odell trade for both sides has been an utter disaster. How many wins has Jabril peppers netted this team? Dexter Lawrence after a quick start has completely become invisible for 8 straight weeks.

How many jerseys and tickets do you guys think Odell puts into the stands? Peppers ? Lawrence?

The proof is in the win loss record. The loss of fan enthusiasm. The loss of young fans.

It’s not a joke.


Trading Odell has been a disaster and those that perpetrated it under the guise of

“Well, we’ll be a better team because we won’t have to force the ball to him. Look at 4 weeks of stats !!!!”

Need to be fired. Trading Odell has cost this franchise and fan base a generation worth of new fans, legacy, revenue, and wins.

Wasn't Odell here in 2017 and 2018?
I liked Odell, but he has been a massive disappointment this year  
Zeke's Alibi : 12/8/2019 7:53 pm : link
as far on his on field performance is concerned. He used to make circus grabs routinely but often wouldn't make the routine play. As his circus grabs have diminished, his drops are becoming more noticeable. I watched a game this year where ESPN was going apeshit but if you watched the game you'd conclude he played a poor game. 3 third down plays missed.
You're kidding right?  
FStubbs : 12/8/2019 7:53 pm : link
I'm extremely critical of Gettleman, but I don't know how anyone can see what Beckham has become and could possibly say the trade was a bad move.

Beckham is a declining player and Lawrence alone is worth more than Beckham at this point. Peppers and Ximenes are bonuses.

Matt M. : 12/8/2019 7:54 pm : link
Mara is most definitely not fuming. The trade may not have worked out for the Giants, but it wouldn't have been any better with him.

Up until last year, I was a huge fan of OBJ. I didn't love all his antics, but wrote most of them off as just him being a bit off. But, the last year or two he went overboard. At the same time he went from being the most dynamic offensive player I've ever seen to a second tier WR.

This is hysterical.  
Vin_Cuccs : 12/8/2019 7:57 pm : link
I was literally just thinking about how great it is that his drama is no longer our problem.

Amazingly talented, enormous headache.

They unloaded his contract, and got two picks back in return.

Also, I think it is very fair to question his durability at this point. He has played in all 16 games only once in his career, and even though he’s on track to play in 16 this year, he’s been dealing with a variety of injuries.
the biggest mistake was drafting him not trading him

That being said, after what we know about the year he’s had in Cleveland and the news that he’s asked to be traded, I am 100% in DG’s corner for trading Beckham. This is likely the first and only time I might be able to post anything positive regarding DG, so don’t get used to it.

The real issue to fret about vis a vis the Giants  
gidiefor : Mod : 12/8/2019 8:53 pm : link
is whether or not it was a good move to sign him to a long term contract.

The trade was done just at the right moment, and thank god for that - the value of the signing itself is what the issue is.

I can see that signing in two different lights -

one is that by signing Odell, the Giants created enough value to get essentially two number 1 picks+, Peppers and #17 and Cleveland's 3

the other is what could they have gotten for him if there was no long term contract in place, would it have been as lucrative.

Even if you think they're better off without him, there's no way that you can spin it that signing him to that huge deal then dealing him made any sense.

What they got in return was a huge chunk of dead cap, the 17th overall pick used for an interior defensive lineman who doesn't rush the passer, a third round pick that was squandered and a safety who to this point in his career has had one good season.

Could they have had more trading him in the conference? Probably - but apparently the Giants were more interested in sending him to football Siberia.

We disagreed on Beckham the person and player, but you're absolutely right here. I'd bet money the Giants didn't take the best trade offer because they were at minimum going to send him to the AFC, and preferably to Cleveland or Buffalo.

Just a complete joke.

I still believe with the right management they might have been able to keep him in check, but on his health alone you can't justify that contract, even if he wasn't being a headcase.

You're quite literally the only one on BBI that nobody can argue with on anything Beckham related, because you nailed that one from start to finish.

If huygens wants to jerk his tiny dick to his #13 jersey, let him, but he's dead wrong 100% of the time.

Love him as a player.
I do not think that he has reached his potential and in the right situation he can be the best receiver in football.

Unfortunately he needs to be on a team with veteran leadership. He would thrive in New England.

The Giants and Browns are not good fits for his personality.

If the Giants had retained him, he would likely be forcing a trade as he is in Cleveland. In that case the Giants would not have gotten fair value, or anything remotely close to what they got from the Browns.

It wasn't a mistake to trade him.

Looks like everything he said is true

1)Giants traded Odell Beckham Jr. because they were hoping to win more games without him then they would with him (hasn't happened)

2) Giants would sell more jerseys with Odell Beckham then they would of Jabrill Peppers (probably true)

3) Beckham Jr would put more seats into the stands then Jabrill Peppers or Dexter Lawrence would



I think all of those are probably absolutely true. If the Giants aren't winning more games without Beckham Jr. then they are probably losing money. As an owner of a team you would probably prefer Beckham and more tickets bought and more money spent vs Peppers and Lawrence if the records are going to be both poor

I think you are a good poster. You know enough about BBI to know what the response would be though.

IMO trading OBJ is the best thing DG has done. No personal attacks. I could not disagree with your OP more. I don't want players that put themselves above the team. I think OBJ actions both on the field and off, his interviews and tweets are definitive evidence of him putting himself above the team. Both here and in Cleveland. Failure to concede this is will ignorance IMHO.
