There isn't a talented WR in the league that wouldn't eventually point fingers and publicly criticize in the same situation.

 

You're just pulling that out of your butt

Tbh, I give the guy credit for being quiet for so long. Frustration boiling over was 100% inevitable.

Give him credit for not voicing his frustrations earlier to the FO before the trade deadline so the team could actually find a way to deal him?

then how he and his family are trying to get him off the team.

 

He's an almost 30 year old man getting paid $60 million dollars.  He's not on an AAU basketball team.

Also y'all want to act like Baker is the worst QB in the league.  Half those routes in the videos there's help coming or Baker is getting the pocket pushed into his face, and the guy is short.  QBs don't just teleport the ball into the WRs hands.  We tried the force feeding Odell approach before and it bogged the offense down because he has not been good at catching contested passes, let alone wide open passes, even when on target.

Sure there are QBs in the league that would be better at getting him the ball but it's not like it's the vast majority of them, and not in our scheme.  He can want to play with an elite QB, but he's not entitled to.

If daddy is going to share that video he also needs to share the ones where he drops easy 1st downs on 4th downs. There are at least 3 of them. 

I mean in OBJs defense he probably wasnt expecting any passes his way

He missed the first 2 games and still has the most targets on the team

Ironically, J.C. Tretter is the union president and he's the Browns starting center.

@bruceband I have plans for that union guy Tretter after this season.

Yeah but those targets seem like theyre wildly inaccurate at times.

And wildly accurate on some key plays where Odell dropped the ball with the game on the line. There is blame to go around, but Odell is the one crying like a victim. He cost us at least one game this year and he walks right by the mirror to his phone to pay on Twitter. Pathetic.

So that's the reason balls seem to bounce off his chest as well?

Baker's completion % is much higher to everybody else on the team, the drops are apparent, what else is going on between them?  Is he freelancing routes?  It's hard to say, he has not been very reliable though.

I can't find anything showing OBJ with more than 2 drops this year, which while not great, doesn't seem terrible for 34 targets. That drop rate is lower than Cooper Kupp, about equal to Tyreek Hill, way lower than Deebo Samuel. I get that one of them might have been a crucial play, but it really seems like the drops narrative is getting heavily exaggerated. All receivers drop passes. Sometimes they're important ones.

Eli Manning made it work, and he wasn't that good.

While true, it's not like he's made up for them by making any contested catches either.  Maybe if he lands on a team with the right QB and right system he starts putting up numbers again, but he's been very uninspiring his tenure here.
