OBJ

Gmanfandan : 1/17/2022 10:23 pm
What a terrific fail that we weren't able to make this work long term.

I get that Odell could be a head case but there are tons of headcases in the NFL and teams make concessions to make it work.

Sorry not sorry - but watching him tonight makes me sad for the Giants and happy for him. You go OBJ!

Another gettleman  
Josh in the City : 1/17/2022 10:24 pm : link
Present to this organization.
He made it clear  
cjac : 1/17/2022 10:26 pm : link
He didn’t want to be here.

He did the same thing in Cleveland

What are you gonna do? At least the Giant got something

Cleveland was forced to cut him
He’s not a headcase  
Ron Johnson : 1/17/2022 10:27 pm : link
he’s an asshole
He wanted out.  
John In CO : 1/17/2022 10:28 pm : link
He always wanted to be in LA. He is there, I assume he is happy. He will play well there.

He was a headcase  
Joe Beckwith : 1/17/2022 10:31 pm : link
In part because we were losing, and he wasn’t getting the ball enough, and he wanted out, so he acted up.
He got into the LA highlife during off-season training and decided it’s where he wanted to be.
Lol. So you guys watch one game

And now have regrets? How about 10 weeks ago? Or last year?
Well that settles it

The Giants clearly made a mistake based on one game. Thanks for the brilliant analysis.

Is the lead receiver there. He’s the guy the defense is playing tabs on. OBJ isn’t a top 15 receiver anymore.

I don't know if its regret as much as disappointment that we couldn't keep him and show him his due or replace him with another electric player. Is there anyone on the roster on either side of the ball that deserves the excitement he generated? Barkley did for a minute - but he's still not back.
Toney might if he can stay healthy. I really want someone who is exceptional in Giants blue and we just don't have anyone.
He was never the same after the injury  
Jerry in_DC : 1/17/2022 10:43 pm : link
But the whole thing is a shame. He was the most exciting Giants player in a long time and was on a HOF trajectory. He made the Giants worth watching for a few years on an otherwise very boring team.

It's all pretty depressing to think about what could have been.

Easily 30 WRs I'll take before OBJ. He's clearly lost that tantalizing 1st step he had with us
Agree: Odell is not the same player  
Vanzetti : 1/17/2022 10:48 pm : link
44 catches on the season

Just does not have the same burst as when he came into the league
Maybe he skipped the boat cruise this time....?  
Spirit of '86 : 1/17/2022 10:56 pm : link
Goodbye OBJ. I do not miss you.
sorry  
RasputinPrime : 1/17/2022 11:02 pm : link
it didn't work out but it didn't work out.

I am cheering for him tonight.
I miss Odell  
Paulie Walnuts : 1/17/2022 11:09 pm : link

It would have never worked

We have sucked so badly he would have flipped out.

Don’t think this 100% true. If the Giants were winning the comments he made in the Lil Wayne interview never happen.
keep in mind

the number of hot-head shitstains that rolled through the Patriots over the years. Great organizations can absorb just about anything.

way to back step from your original post. Also you acknowledged him as a headcase, but then are like "but why" still...

I think you know the answers to all the questions you're asking. You just don't like them

Bottom line a player like OBJ is not someone you have on a team that is rebuilding or do you build around. His trade was a great trade because it shed salary.

Also he was younger then, he seems a bit more humbled now.
Beckham is not even  
Giantimistic : 1/17/2022 11:26 pm : link
a #1 receiver anymore.

I loved watching him with the Giants, but he is a nice player as part of a team. He cannot carry a team like he did for the Giants in some games.

Lots of former Giants had nice weekends. Its cool. We will be back.
He sucked for all the years he was in Cleveland

We got serviceable players. DG sucks, but he was right on this
OBJ was the most gifted WR...  
bw in dc : 1/17/2022 11:31 pm : link
I had seen since Jerry Rice. He was electric.

Really hard to believe how sideways things went.

He has 1000 yards year 1, then was hurt last year. He’s been much better without Baker.
Biggest Mistake  
Maineline : 1/17/2022 11:34 pm : link
The biggest mistake with OBJ was drafting him with Aaron Donald being picked next by the Rams.
Fuck him.  
smshmth8690 : 1/17/2022 11:41 pm : link
I wish him no harm, but I could care less if he ever catches another pass in his career.
The mistake was passing  
LauderdaleMatty : 1/17/2022 11:47 pm : link
On Donald or Martin. And it's not hind sight. How's the OL? Donald might have be a slight risk but this was another Reese gift that keeps
On giving

OBJ has 6 TDs  
allstarjim : 1/17/2022 11:56 pm : link
In 9 games since he's beem traded. He's scoring, making big plays, has turned into a huge red zone threat for the Rams.

He's still a great player and I wouldn't be surprised if he blows up for big numbers next year. His bugaboo has been health.

But he definitely didn't want to be on the Giants or in Cleveland.

That doesn't mean he isn't a really good football player. And I do think he's top 15 in the NFL.

The highlight of his career according to him, is when he made a great catch in a game we lost to the Cowboys. Not so sure winning was his top priority.

plato : 1/18/2022 1:54 am : link
goal line he was gone. The Maras were going to get rid of him and i was proud to be a Giant fan when we got rid of him. there are ass holes and there are ass holes. he embarrassed the franchise and its fans perhaps ts just a sad. commentary of our. times. that so many fans didn’t feel this way and would try and compromise with a tool like OBJ, talented though he may be.
Sure, he “wanted to win”  
mattnyg05 : 1/18/2022 2:30 am : link
but only his way. If you won 10 games and he had 40 catches, it would be a disaster.

Now he accepts that because he can only muster 40 catches due to physical ability.

Averaged 40ish yards a game with Browns and Rams. He's a #2 WR now and not worth top billing. Don't think no one has said he's an incapable player. Still is. But he also wanted out and Giants had no other choice. Browns were in the same predicament.

Still better than Kenny Goofoday
Where’s the “he wanted out” narrative coming from?  
monstercoo : 1/18/2022 3:52 am : link
Where’s this narrative coming from? He signed a huge contract here and always stated he wanted to retire a Giant and be like LT.
I’m glad he’s having some success with the Rams  
Giant John : 1/18/2022 4:44 am : link
But as far as this thread goes OBJ is 100% responsible for not being a Giant today. Good riddance.
He was gone the second he got paid  
Tuckrule : 1/18/2022 5:40 am : link
And then went on sports center with lil Wayne calling out his HOF and 2x super bowl mvp QB. He was a terrible teammate. Terrible locker room guy and he’s gone to 2 places and basically has done the same thing. Now he’s on a team that’s been rolling so he’s semi falling in line. It’s a matter of time until it goes south. He can’t control himself.

did you just crawl out from under a rock or were you in a coma when he was tweeting just weeks after he signed that contract?

This simply isn’t true. I mean first of all we won 10 games once with him and when in 2016 did he give any indication he wanted out?
