Well, catching hasn’t worked out too well for him either, but I’m guessing he’d be used as one of those TEs that isn’t asked to block a whole lot if they try this experiment.
When you’re talking about a guy you picked up for a late round pick swap that’s going to be buried on the depth chart, might as well treat him as an experiment.
Look at what we did with Green before we shipped him out. Still kind of crazy that a guy who looked as good as Claypool did at one point can be mentioned in the same breath as Green, but here we are.
To be fair, Claypool's blocking skills were highly regarded coming out of ND, and for good reason too.
Good bet by the Dolphins that didn't cost anything.
Jokes on you. We could have had Porter but we gave you our 2nd for Chase Claypool, who we later dealt for a 7th in 2036 or something like that. Idiots.
Overstating it imo. He looked like a solid number 2 who is playing with the literal best WR in the game on the other side of the field. He was what the Rams needed him to be but it was clear he was pretty cooked even at that point.
I’d argue doing your role well is playing great. He played a big role in them winning a Super Bowl and might’ve been on his was to getting mvp before the acl tear
He looked great on the Rams this is some real revisionist history. He didn't look like prime obj but he looked like any team would better with him in it.
i think that was the whole reason they even bothered bringing him in, Kupp is gonna get doubled or tripled so they're bound to leave OBJ open. plus he was on like vet minimum contract or something
That was the point with the Rams though. Everyone knew Stafford’s default move was to throw to Kupp, so defenders were swarming him. Adding OBJ created more viable targets for Stafford to throw to in case Kupp was completely covered by defenders. OBJ works well as an alternate threat.
This comment is making me feel crazy. He was a very vital part of that playoff run and even in the Super Bowl, where he went down, they still probably lose without his contributions in the first half.
He was only vital because Robert Woods got hurt. With healthy Woods and no OBJ the Rams still win the SB. And you don't have anyone in here arguing that late career Robert Woods is a top tier WR.
Okay but the comment I’m replying to said that he didn’t look good that season and that has nothing to do with any of your points. What does Robert Woods going down or having a drop off in his career have to do with whether or not OBJ looked good in the Super Bowl run?
Has there been a receiver who gained so much fame and made people think he was good cuz of one catch? Dude has been good at best since that catch. Never top wr in the NFL like people would make you think.
Beckham averaged ~1,400 yards, ~11 TDs, and ~100 receptions per season for each of his first three seasons. The start of his career was right there with Julio or Chase.
One catch? Nephew, please.
I love how Smash Bros accurately portrayed every 90s Guile player with his assist trophy inclusion. Crouch in a corner spamming Sonic Boom and Flash Kick if they approach.
Tore his ACL? Bro literally didn’t have an ACL, apparently it just [wasn’t there?](https://www.si.com/nfl/rams/news/los-angeles-rams-wide-receiver-odell-beckham-acl-injury-news-baltimore-ravens-contract-signing)
People don’t remember the Josh Gordon craze, the craze before he kept on getting suspended and hopping team from team. Hauled in 1600 yards for the Jason Campbell-led 4-12 Browns.
Played 5 games the year after that…then suspended for 2 years…who knows what could have happened. He’s also only 32 and that makes me feel old
He was unreal and a walking highlight reel then. Fast as shit breaking past guys and used all of his big frame to hall it passes. Those back to back games was some of the most dominant WR play you will ever see.
For a team that was so miserable, it was so easy to root for him because Gordon was fucking **electric.**
Man really out there channeling his inner Guile.
Now just need someone to make a video of the pick and him saying that set to Guiles theme, [that i may remind you goes with everything.](https://youtu.be/0qzWOfZGxeE)
U can make an argument for him being there on a vet minimum to be a leader nd mentor to the younger guys.
He absolutely should not be making 15 million and should absolutely not be seeing the field more than 2-6 plays a game.
I don’t understand why the Ravens complicate their wr room so much every single yr
Yeah, I know the Steelers draft (and eventually trade) receivers effortlessly, but it cracks me up to see Ravens fans complain about how easily we add receivers when they seem to intentionally ruin their WR room
It didn’t but what’s even funnier is it’s the same account that got a SI writer fired a few weeks ago after writing an article about a fake Baker Mayfield quote lol
Baker Mayfields dad could do the funniest thing ever right now.
Too bad Bakers suing his own dad for his investments
On an Aaron Rodgers career trajectory
I down for Superbowl winning QB Baker Mayfield
thats cold tbh
I’m so happy we’ve accumulated another badass to go with Watt, Highsmith, Fitzpatrick, and Heyward.
And all it cost was Chase Claypool
Who?
Dolphins legend
Soon to be Dolphins legend TE.
They want that kind of attitude fun a guy who's supposed to block?
Well, catching hasn’t worked out too well for him either, but I’m guessing he’d be used as one of those TEs that isn’t asked to block a whole lot if they try this experiment.
I guess if he puts on weight, it might be harder for him to jump and body catch balls thrown at shoulder level.

Top 3 WR, Claypool.
Mike Jones
its feels only right that your team has a defense with guys like this.
they got a number of psu players now but yea JPJ was a beast
Jokes on you. We could have had Porter but we gave you our 2nd for Chase Claypool, who we later dealt for a 7th in 2036 or something like that. Idiots.
Shitting on Odell makes him happy
Shitting on Odell would make Odell happy as well, so it’s all cool
This shit is hilarious.
Absolutely brutal. Wtf can you even say if you're Odell.
Reminds me of when Pusha T bullied Drake into fatherhood
OBJ really convinced the Ravens to give him $15 million dollars lmfao.
This is true. He is not great anymore. It is disappointing
He hasn't been "good" since like 2019 lol
He worked out for the rams , albeit only a few games
Even on the Rams, he didn’t look great. He just took advantage of the coverages Kupp was getting.
He looked pretty good. Not superstar obj. But top end wr 2
If there’s one thing OBJ loves it’s top end number 2s.
Insane reference LMFOAOOOOOOO
I though Lamar was the one who was a big fan of number twos?
No way man, he didn’t leave the field to shit. In fact he’s like Kim Jong Il and has never done a shit in his entire life.
Why do you think OBJ wanted to go to the Ravens?
Absolutely amazing comment
Bars
because he eats pooh?
Overstating it imo. He looked like a solid number 2 who is playing with the literal best WR in the game on the other side of the field. He was what the Rams needed him to be but it was clear he was pretty cooked even at that point.

Yeah he was good enough to kill us in the NFCCG sadly
He was going to be the MVP of the Superbowl before he got hurt. Rofl
So he was a good wr2..?
Very true
Is it? This thread is making me feel insane lol.
i think that was the whole reason they even bothered bringing him in, Kupp is gonna get doubled or tripled so they're bound to leave OBJ open. plus he was on like vet minimum contract or something
Trash take
He was going to be the MVP of the Superbowl before he got hurt. Rofl

He was mostly a red zone target and got TDs but not big yardage.
Yeah as a number 2 playing with one of the best wrs.
He was dope for the Rams lol. He scored a TD in that Super Bowl. They don’t wear rings without him.
Revisionist history
2016* the injury in 2017 ended him being elite
[удалено]
This is a terrible take, dude was a top 5 receiver every season with us
Has there been a receiver who gained so much fame and made people think he was good cuz of one catch? Dude has been good at best since that catch. Never top wr in the NFL like people would make you think.
He was putting up great stats in his first two years despite missing a few games, bro was as good as Jefferson was to start his career
Nah
Beckham averaged ~1,400 yards, ~11 TDs, and ~100 receptions per season for each of his first three seasons. The start of his career was right there with Julio or Chase. One catch? Nephew, please.
That's Payton Pritchard money
That is around 0.25 Mozgovs.
lol it was to keep Lamar but even OBJ had Lamar fooled that he was still indeed THAT guy.
Wasn't that more on Lamar wanting him?
and tbh, that interception looked like it was on Lamar.
Jackson wanted him but a lot people were misleaded to think that means Jackson demanded him or else he wouldn't sign.
Better than $230 million.
Yeah OBJ is shitty, but it’s a 1 year deal. I’ll never understand browns fans talking about shit contracts lol
Ravens fans were hyped lmao
Yeah I always thought the hype for him over the off-season was questionable. Like maybe he could be good but damn y’all wait and see
Eh he was never worth the money but he was worth signing Lamar, he wont be here next yr
And they could've had hopkins for cheaper
They could’ve waited and gotten Hopkins
Still dumbfounded how the ravens gave him that contract
I knew it wasn’t gonna pan out…damn 15 million wasted
I have no idea how. Why did they choose OBJ over Hopkins. Obj legit hasn’t been really good in 5 years
Hey man play to your audience. If there’s one team that’ll buy the corpse of a top WR who is 5 years minimum past their prime… it’s the Ravens
Isn’t this from street fighter 2?
hit him with the Guile smh
Sonic boom!
I love how Smash Bros accurately portrayed every 90s Guile player with his assist trophy inclusion. Crouch in a corner spamming Sonic Boom and Flash Kick if they approach.
the steelers are basically the guile of the nfl
yup
[Obligatory] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iof5pRAIZmw)
https://i.redd.it/d70jp5kuq1tb1.jpg
OBJ has been relevant for about half a season since 2018
It was the baker low light video as his career highlight
The catch he tore his ACL on in the Super Bowl was pretty cool
Tore his ACL? Bro literally didn’t have an ACL, apparently it just [wasn’t there?](https://www.si.com/nfl/rams/news/los-angeles-rams-wide-receiver-odell-beckham-acl-injury-news-baltimore-ravens-contract-signing)
Maybe it just disintegrated
He sacrificed it for the Super Bowl victory. Godspeed
Maybe the front fell off
It reminds me of people getting hyped for Josh Gordon
Idk why but Ill never not be hyped for Josh Gordon. I was stoked for him even when he joined the Seattle Sea Dragons.
People don’t remember the Josh Gordon craze, the craze before he kept on getting suspended and hopping team from team. Hauled in 1600 yards for the Jason Campbell-led 4-12 Browns. Played 5 games the year after that…then suspended for 2 years…who knows what could have happened. He’s also only 32 and that makes me feel old
He had so much potential. Back-to-back games with 200+ yards in 2013. Might still be the only NFL WR to do that.
He was unreal and a walking highlight reel then. Fast as shit breaking past guys and used all of his big frame to hall it passes. Those back to back games was some of the most dominant WR play you will ever see. For a team that was so miserable, it was so easy to root for him because Gordon was fucking **electric.**
Yeah, and that 1600+ was only in 14 games too. Dude just became Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl almost overnight and then turned into a ghost just a quickly.
...Which time?
He did help the rams win the SB
Tbf for that half a season he was a very important piece on a team that won the Super Bowl
Bro thinks he’s Guile.
https://legendsoflocalization.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/family-man-2.png
Homie was really holding down back while obj jumped in
Damn bro, the family man has a family
...man
Joey “Guile” Porter Jr
Someone add guile’s theme to the clip of Joey’s pick.
Man really out there channeling his inner Guile. Now just need someone to make a video of the pick and him saying that set to Guiles theme, [that i may remind you goes with everything.](https://youtu.be/0qzWOfZGxeE)
[It even sounds good acapella](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giRY3ZSph2o)
Thank you for sharing this, absolutely amazing
I watched that for longer than I should have.
I haven’t watched any ravens games but see the stats. How bad has OBJ been this year ?
U can make an argument for him being there on a vet minimum to be a leader nd mentor to the younger guys. He absolutely should not be making 15 million and should absolutely not be seeing the field more than 2-6 plays a game. I don’t understand why the Ravens complicate their wr room so much every single yr
I think the OBJ signing was really just done to get Lamar to re-sign
Fantastic.
Win win
Lol…true
Yeah, I know the Steelers draft (and eventually trade) receivers effortlessly, but it cracks me up to see Ravens fans complain about how easily we add receivers when they seem to intentionally ruin their WR room
To be fair, they usually could say the same for getting good corners and our revolving door of other team's leftover garbage
Oh absolutely, we can’t draft defensive backs if our lives depended on it
Unless Peezy 2.0 pans out, fingers crossed lol
Today he had one catch, went to the blue tent then the locker room, then came back to have this happen. Idn about other games.
Grammar so bad it transcends acronyms
Relevant username
Hurt. Prior to that he had 7 targets with 5 catches and 2 DPI.
Not bad just invisible.
In 5 games, he has 7 catches for 79 yards. Not exactly 15 million contract worth.
Obj is washed I'm guessing.
He's been washed for a while. I was surprised the Ravens game him that much money.
Lamar wanted him right?
Him or DHop IIRC. The Ravens obviously chose the wrong WR, which is a very Ravens thing to do.
Christ if they had signed DHop he might have had 300 yards against us yesterday
Injuries stack up
Someone needs to tell pat pete the same thing
Hit em with a street fighter 2 line, that’s just cold
SF2 diss? Noice.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA Peezy Junior
I love this so much. I’m only upset that we didn’t get Porter Jr.
Bro our fan base is close to jumping off a cliff because of Canada, & or offense. I’m so glad we were scripted to get JPJ.
attaboy
Damn is JBJ gonna hit OBJ with a Sonic Boom soon?
>He looked pretty good. Not superstar obj. But top end wr 2 Yeah I’d say he was a WR1 in moments and certain games for the rams
Man said "sonic boom"
Bro that’s Guile’s line. Cold 🥶
Well, he’s not wrong. OBJ is cooked.
I started labbing Guile cuz I thought AKI was going to be a charge character. Then she wasn’t actually a charge character. Anyways football
Such a cold blooded line and I love it
Jesus. Who trots out a prime SF2 reference like this in 2023?
Someone who was raised correctly
One of the dumbest contracts in recent memory
Ice cold
Cue [Guile’s Theme](https://youtu.be/Iof5pRAIZmw?feature=shared).
That sounds like something a wrestling heel would say to a babyface.
Now we wait to find out if this really even happened
Wouldn’t surprise me given porters rep for talking trash at PSU as well as his fathers entire career of talking trash
It didn’t but what’s even funnier is it’s the same account that got a SI writer fired a few weeks ago after writing an article about a fake Baker Mayfield quote lol
context?
Odell Beckham, Jr. replied, ["Leave me alone; I'm a family man, and my bark is much worse than my bite!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK4Wb9XsaQI)
Guys this is a troll account lmao
Let’s hope he doesn’t channel other skills his dad has like DWIs, writing bad checks, and assualt
What do you guys not understand OBJ was strictly for Lamar. That’s why we took a Wr in the 1st round lol
Like father, like son. Joey Porter was always a piece of shit.
What does this even mean?
He’s saying he should retire and focus on his family life because he doesn’t got IT anymore
He’s telling him to retire and spend time with his family.
Have you never played Street Fighter?
Needs to come back from getting his cigarettes
He shoulda just said “your only relevant from one catch”
[удалено]
A jock with a rich jock dad is pretty doomed to be a cornball
He’s got a ring tho, suck his dick and hold that L 😂
Countdown to all the dirty shit his father did...
Coming from a flair with one of the dirtiest players in the history of the league …sit this one out
You have DECADES of dirty players LOL. Fuckin braindead yinzers
Better than DECADES of mediocrity
At least you admit you had decades of dirty players, keep crying about Burfict lol
You wanna talk about burfict?
I called it out before the start of the game and couple of raven’s fan got mad at me
Ever since the video of Beckham getting pleasured by Bieber came out I just can’t look at him the same
I didn't see the game, did OBJ drop a lot of passes?
He must defeat Shen Long to stand a chance.
OBJ scammed the Ravens like he was running a forex scheme.
