OBJ

[FL GMAN]

He was released by the Ravens this afternoon.

[Jolly Blue Giant]

He's probably worthless since hooking up with Kim Kardashian...probably having a hard time focusing on football right now 

[LennG]

last year maybe, but now, we already have a crew of average WRs why add another?

I had to google that. Yeah, he's done. Ravens making the right call there.

[Giant Obsession]

Dead.

May his name be buried forever (especially here)
and
his name be stricken from the history roles regarding his association with the NY Giants.

he can mentor them, I wouldn't mind it esp if we draft a qb

Like him or not, probably the most talented wide receiver ever to don a Giants uni.

Without question. I still love pulling up his highlight reel and watching him blow up secondaries. I've never seen anyone do that before, or since.

Peace!

Talented, yes. In terms of a quality man and player, not so much.  Being an injury-prone prima donna tended to negate the talent he was born with in terms of overall value to a team.  It's true he seems to have grown up some, but age and injury seem to have robbed him of what made him special.  In the Raven's playoff game, where OBJ had to step up for Flowers suffered a meltdown, he didn't look like the same WR he was in his first few seasons as a Giant.    He looks like a solid veteran, but not the type of receiver who can be a number one WR or the one to drive the offense.

I imagine this will ring hollow with upcoming collegiate talent and draftees, and I'm sure the NFLPA would never allow it, but OBJ and others like him should be part of a "Cautionary Tales" segment.  They harp on real life examples related to finance, but don't bring in players who made a fortune as a player and squandered it like Terrell Owens or so many others.  They should absolutely highlight players who were on transcendent career arcs that got cut short, and let the players come to their conclusions as to why.  Some of that is OBJ's injury history, over which you could argue he had little control.  But if you want to get down to dollars, he destroyed his own career through team-hopping too often as a result of immature behavior and a desire to hold himself above the team.  I truly wish him the best, but nothing I see out of him indicates to me he's ever learned to be circumspect.

OBJ would probably thrive with a guy like Mahomes. He should look there.
