The net thing was 2 years ago and the bolded is pure speculation. He seems less crazy to me last year (admittedly that bar was pretty low). He averages over 16 PPG in 1/2 PPR and is only 26 years old - I'm glad I have him in a keeper league.
Dan, I enjoy reading your posts, and I respect your opinion, but this is just a load of crap. How about for once, someone talk about all the community work he does? https://nypost.com/2017/06/17/my-responsibility-to-be-a-good-role-model-odell-beckham-jr/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/07/23/odell-beckham-jr-uses-social-media-for-good-visits-9-year-old-cancer-patient-in-texas/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.cc8c9eefe959
I'm not saying hes a bad person, but he has shown a history of letting his emotions get the best of him during games. that has been shown to self destruct athletes in the past
Mayfield and ODB become double team bunker busters.
I'm with you on this one. OBJ is in my 3rd tier of WRs, no higher than WR6. I don't see him putting up better numbers than he did in NY, and he needs to prove that he can both stay on the field and stay motivated.
If you look at his stats, it is a conservative projection.
It's a rare thing for a WR who changes teams to meet or exceed their previous production levels immediately.
Not as rare when you limit it to truly elite WRs in their prime getting a major upgrade in QB play.
you look at that offense on paper and call running up the score a "pipedream"?
Because you're getting ahead of yourself. You're looking for them to run up scores when they haven't proven anything yet. They have the arsenal, but if I'm the Browns I just want to make the playoffs.
It's only a story if you make it a story for the hundreds of other guys not at voluntary practice
Yes, I agree that the media makes too much of guys not at a voluntary practice in May. It's just when you think of a guy on a new team, he wants to win, he is unhappy to be there... at least at first, he shows up to day 1 then is a no show... That's a bit of smoke for a guy who is known to be an emotional guy.
You can see smoke or you can see an opportunity to buy when others see smoke. I don't play dynasty but I'm in a 4 player keeper league with no restrictions on how long the players can be kept, so similar but obviously different. Anyway, over the last two year I traded for OBJ and AB when others were wary of the "smoke". One of my other keepers is Zeke and I'm not too concerned about the potential off field issues because these guys are so productive when they play.
You are overblowing this. The media stirs this #### up, in the hopes that people actually believe it's a story. If it was Julio Jones we wouldn't hear a word. Beckham draws the media like flies. Hope he blows up this year and shuts everyone up.
Fair enough, but if Julio was traded to a new team, was disappointed in being traded, and then skipped OTAs after going to the first one, I'd hope the media would cover it. If not then I'd completely agree with you.
that's a poor argument. I'm not the one saying "the media makes this a big deal. they wouldnt for Julio." Julios not a headcase who makes you scratch your head. However, to answer your question- yes, leveon bell is on a new team, skipping otas, and there are plenty of articles on it. the only difference is the coach isn't calling him out publiclyghostguy123 said:
I think you're going to see a trend of top paid veteran players sitting out OTAs. As they should. It's a terrible risk/reward scenario for them.
Is it? They've already signed their big deals, gotten their guaranteed money. I understand a highly paid vet not wanting to go, but at the same time I dont see how it would impact them financially if they got hurt- unless their contract has some injury clause.
Desire and form a rhythm with the QB? In hopes of attaining what exactly?
