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.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Now he is forcing himself out of Cleveland.
Today he didn't even huddle up with the offense.

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.

I mean, we have 2 wins. I've sure paid attention to that.
How has anything transpired that makes anyone think it was a mistake?  
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

I LOATHE everything about Dave Gettleman and believe he needs to be shit canned at season’s end. AND I hammered him here for what I thought was getting railroaded in the Odell trade. 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.

Scuzzlebutt : 12/8/2019 8:51 pm : link
in an instant. There is no debate here. Whatever you think of DG he absolutely fleeced the Browns on that trade.
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.

We lost badly with him  
Matt M. : 12/8/2019 8:56 pm : link
Why not lose without him, but pickup some picks/players in the process?

He is nowhere near the player he was a couple of years ago.
Odell  
oreojenkins : 12/8/2019 9:03 pm : link
He's bottom 5 in the league in terms of turning his opportunity into production. He's been objectively terrible. Getting out from his contract has value in and of itself. The rest is gravy.
Loved Odell  
Nine-Tails : 12/8/2019 9:16 pm : link
Early on was a complete joy just to watch. But, I haven’t missed him at all. Never once this year, did I think of Odell’s absence. Even though we suck, are bottom-feeders, and a joke right now, it’s liberating not having to deal with his BS

Right... because the place would be packed if OBJ was on the team despite having just 3 wins.

that you just dont pay a wr $20 mill , its just too much for that position to field a long term winning team imo. I hate what DG has done with this team and want him gone yesterday , but it was a solid trade on his part.
Why would we fans give a shit about the team's revenue?

jcn56 : 12/8/2019 11:16 pm : link
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.
You're right there - I was wrong, I wanted to keep Odell  
jcn56 : 12/8/2019 11:32 pm : link
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.

Why on Earth  
Joey in VA : 12/9/2019 12:10 am : link
Would anyone even respond to this halfwit? He or She has proven repeatedly to be a clueless fuckstick, why are you arguing with a moron? Granted, I do it constantly here but this..thing is an utter disgrace. Odell sucks balls, Eli made him better and his injuries have robbed him of what he was for 2.5 years. If huygens wants to jerk his tiny dick to his #13 jersey, let him, but he's dead wrong 100% of the time.

OBJ is proving to be an entitled, in his own mind, pain in the ass. The only criticism I have of the Giants is not that they traded him but signing him to that huge extension, then watching our Gettleman laugh as he said well, we didn't sign him juist to trade him.
