I went from hating this guy, to thinking he would be a great fit, to hating him all over again

What's the point of working yourself into a new offense with new teammates in the regular season?

These players are sickeningly entitled these days. I hate them all and root for the laundry.

he wants the glory but not the grind....if i was a player on the cowboys this wouldn't sit well with me...esp if i was a bubble roster player that would get booted.

He said wants play saquan. He’s going giants. Who cares.

 

[J-man]

prima donna 100%

I mean. Saquon may not even be a Giant next season. So OBJ wouldnt be very smart if he chose the Giants.

Some of ya'll really wanted this clown lol

Yea so this is the quote that puts me out on the obj thing….”what’s the point”….idk maybe to build some chemistry with the qb and camaraderie with teammates? Getting timing down etc.

I think at this point I’m a pass

I also think this is partly said because truthfully he knows he can’t play until the playoffs he just somehow thought this was. Better to say than something more eloquent

Probably true.

I think he’s going to get played here. He’ll sign with a major contender - for practically nothing - and they’ll use him for their run and cast him aside after the season like they never knew him. All the while, he’ll be thinking about lining up the next suckers to pay him that big contract that he mistakenly thinks he’s going to see.

He’s too blinded by being the center of attention to concentrate on the actual business of playing and proving himself.

Great way to get himself a job…..

I have never seen other what other people see in OBJ.

The one thing he has done in his career to get recognition is that he heavily practiced one-handed catches (seriously, he promoted the fact he spent a lot of time practicing them), which helped him make highlight reels for spectacular catches. He did this though wearing gloves that do most of the work.

He's a 5'11 receiver whose quickness has been impacted heafvily by multiple injuries in recent years. I am not saying he is a bad receiver, but he has never been anything special.

He had one or two good seasons when he entered the NFL years ago and he has been living off them ever since. His greatest highlight reel catch was against the Cowboys in 2015 (7 years ago) in a game his team actually lost.

NFL history is littered with 1-2 year wonders that were anointed future Hall of Famers only to see their careers nose-dive in subsequent years due to injuries or the rest of the league figuring out how to stop them.

I don't hate, but I agree with rooting for the laundry.
As for OBJ?


NoBJ.

He wanted to be here but saw he wasn’t wanted under his terms now he is acting like he wanted the Giants all along. He could also be trying to create a market or bidding war for his playoff services since his visits didn’t seem to do squat for him

 

[Risen Star]

Now this goes beyond he can't help you this year. He can actually hurt you now running the wrong route that leads to turnovers in the postseason because he has no reps with this team in game action.

Pretty stark contrast to Micah Parsons, who they have to drag out of preseason games.

That's actually the most likely win-win scenario for everyone. He can hitch a ride on the last leg of a playoff run and rebuild some confidence in his knee both from his side and the teams' sides. Become a free agent that signs for $12+ million/year in the offseason for one final payday and the team that rented him for a few weeks gets a comp pick.
