5th or lower on gms list.


No

Antonio Brown is a diva, just in a better organization. AB is great, but not the talent OBJ is. He would not have near success he is having if he played with Eli Manning. Again, most GMs would take OBJ over any other WR. He is a unique talent, hands-speed-athleticism-explosiveness. Oh and he is at least 3 years younger than Julio and AB.

Landry is probably only a better blocker. Beckham has better hands, is faster, quicker, and runs better routes. Landry is great but he is not in Beckham's league as a WR


Beckham has elite speed and quickness. That's where he separates himself. Landry has better hands, but Beckham has come a long way. The toughness of Landry is also unparalleled.

Both are great receivers, but they are used differently. Beckham can stretch the field, but Landry kills in the slot.

I agree he's more talented than brown. Not julio and there's no gm that would take him over julio. Like I said the giants are questioning keeping him right now. For a guy who puts up those numbers with his talent and age that shoukd never happen. Talent doesn't equal greatness. Chad Johnson is a perfect parallel to odell he was putting up hof numbers started becoming a problem was moved and never recovered. I see the same arch for Odell unless he turns his attitude around. Problem is he's nowhere near as grounded or humble as Johnson was. Btw Pitt isn't a better organization than the giants the same family owns em both they're identically run.

Landry also isn't athletic enough to make some of the plays Beckham does routinely

Well i can see it going either way.....
Landry had "the catch" (Arkansas) before OBJ had one against Dallas. But both are top WR in the NFL. Landry could have gross numbers if he had a QB like Eli.

Disagree. But I do think Julio and OBJ are the best two talents at WR. The Giants are not going to move the best player on their team, he had his issues but OBJ won NYG several games this season.

Landry is a possession receiver. Regardless of who's throwing him the ball, he will never have the big play ability Beckham does. His QB has little to do with that

Being a better all around player doesn't mean best at position. Landry could play defense.

Take off the purple and gold glasses dude. Johnson never took shots at his defense he'd admit when he screwed up he wasn't a bad locker room guy just a clown. Odell has never admitted any wrong doing in fact he's constantly lying about things you can watch on film even when confronted with his false descriptions of events he continues to lie or deflect.

Perhaps that's true, but few recivers have ever started their careers with 3 straight 1300+ yard seasons. He gets shite for his antics here,but Beckham is elite.

No doubt and I don't mean their production would be drastically different I meant Odell's brand wouldn't be as big if he wasn't in NYC.

The facts are Beckham is an all pro and has more receiving yards at this stage in his career than anyone in NFL history. Just because you like Landry more, and that's very easy to do, does not make him better than Odell Beckham because, well, he's just not

We weren't talking about production we were comparing Odell and Chad Johnson. You disregarded the fact that Odell is a problem and Johnson never took shots at his defense or caused trouble in the locker room.
