Odell Beckham Jr Hype is So Fake and We've Had Enough

Odell Beckham Jr turned 27 years old on Tuesday, and for that we congratulate him. At the same time, here's a friendly dose of reality.

OBJ offers more ammo to haters than he does production to those who count on him the most--his Browns teammates.

Beckham Jr has contributed very little on the field this season for the disappointment that is the Cleveland Browns. Despite paying the hefty price of their best offensive lineman to nab the intriguing wideout from the New York Giants, John Dorsey must privately acknowledge that the trade has been a mistake.

Changed...the....game?

Beckham Jr. has as much talent as any wide receiver in football, but his statistics prove he's failed to live up to that potential time and time again. How does one truly change the sport without proving they're capable of the production so many expect from them? Sorry, we're not buying it.

OBJ hasn't made a Pro Bowl since 2016. He has only one touchdown on the season, and is often an afterthought in the red zone. His camaraderie with Baker Mayfield is nonexistent. Any arguments here?

Lately, Beckham Jr is more known for the gear he's forced to remove on the field and his frustration over his lack of touches.

OBJ can still be a game-changing talent. But at this point, he's still a giant 'what if.'
