  • I haven’t had much of an issue with his “daily tantrums”. Are they really daily? The watch thing comes to mind. Sure, he makes a lotta money.

    So you're OK with a WR making $17 mill a year being 37 in receptions and posting 1 TD? OK, there. 

    PLUS, being a daily distraction, throwing tantrums like a baby? Sounds perfect.

    I’m aware that OBJ’s lack of production isn’t on him. Maybe partially, but this is an overreaction. He’s a top WR, in the world.

    Because he can.

    Not for much longer.

    continue to be a Ravens fan & you won't miss him..but Lamar wood

  • Just wait.

  • Unfortunately OBJ won't do much Sunday, so we may have to keep waiting. Nobody gets points against the Super Patriots, and it's going to be raining cats and dogs. If you start him in fantasy, your best bet is something in garbage time. 

    Furthermore, OBJ should have 3 more touchdowns, minimum. Baker missed him multiple times in red zone and also missed him deep over and over again. OBJ can't throw it to himself. 

  • Why $$$? World class, HOF level hands + speed + catch radius...

    Why gas production fallen off? Defenses focus on him and both in NY (Sheppard) and CLE (Landry) there have been strong #2's to eliminate the need to force the ball to him.

    They are more like weekly, slight exaggeration.

    The watch thing was kind of a genius move. I think he parlayed that situation into a sponsorship with the European watch maker who fashioned it.

    But watch. It won't end: He will find some way to draw attention to himself, and usually paint himself as the poor victim. As long as he doesn't go too far, ala his buddy AB, and he starts producing I guess it won't matter much.

    Bro, he can't throw it to himself. Yeah, he had 3 drops that were pretty bad. But if Baker actually knew how to read red zone defenses, OBJ would have 4 more TDS, maybe more. On one play OBJ made his guy FALL DOWN but Baker obviously forced it to Harris (spoiler alert, it didn't work). 

    OBJ hasn't done well, but Baker has been effing awful.

    so far he is a bust....we had better continuity last yr with our wr's by a long shot....there is no way we should have screwed with the chemistry we had last yr judging by the way we finished....we are now in regression mode....and as far as hunt goes...trade him....please trade him for some playmakers on defense....maybe starting with that kid from ohio state...he is a beast........

  • He's the 3rd highest paid WR in the NFL....and he's 26th in yards, 37th in receptions and has 1 TD. 

    Oh, and he's a constant distraction with his petulant child routine. 

    I was trying to be patient, but I'm not so sure this was a wise move by Dorsey.

            OBJ has been down many of these dirty media roads before...He just went through it, with the bigger NY media market with "The Eli Sucks"... In both markets you will get nothing from his teammates but OBJ is a great locker room Stand up guy..Yet another example ^^^  and just because it's our Rambo/Rocky week in Russia West...

    Which is the same reason why I think Myles Garrett is OVERRATED!.. He does not dominate games like you would expect a "Generational" player does.. His sacks are like token garbage time sacks.. They have 0 affect on the games.. But now 20 people will jump all over me and tell I'm nuts.. So be it!

    You are probably nuts....but not necessarily about this.  I think I agree somewhat.  But, I also think it changes here in the last half of the season. Garrett will begin to dominate games.    I mean, it is has been tough to dominate against  Brady, Russell etc.....and teams that have gone 8-0 and 8-0 and 6-2 and etc. Now they go against lesser lights.  I mean Garrett, and the Browns now have to start beating the bums on their schedule coming up.
