The absolute last thing this locker room needs is Odell Beckham Jr.

He isn't a good run-blocker, he isn't a physically impressive receiver, he's not a good improv player, and he's basically the opposite of a team-first player.
OBJ caught just 54% of passes thrown at him over the last two season. Sammy caught nearly 64%. Basically if you force-fed Sammy the ball, he'd out-produce OBJ by several hundred yards/season.
Please explain why Andy would want to see OBJ in Chiefs' red, because I really don't get it.
There will be plenty of time to discuss offseason roster moves. I hope Sammy goes wild in the playoffs and he's back next year.
That being said, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Reid has engineered this offense to maximize the skill set of his players. I agree Watkins and OBJ have very different strengths. Rosters change and Reid is one of the best offensive minds ever. He will tailor his offense accordingly.
You wana compare completion percentage to a guy playing with Patrick Mahomes and has Andy Reid dialing up the plays as compared to Baker Mayfield and a total mess of an organization in the Browns? Cmon.
Hopefully the next three games go according to script and Watkins does work. If not, I'm just saying I think OBJ could be a name on the board. Itd be nice to use our high draft picks to continue to get younger and faster on defense in lieu of spending another 1st on a skill position player. [Reply]

Good god what a disappointment.
Relax. It's the first practice of the week. There's plenty of times throughout the season where injured players don't practice to start the week but get a walkthrough in by Friday and are able to play on Sunday. [Reply]

No, you're right. We shouldn't run down this rabbit hole right now.
Btw, you can actually look at the entirety of their respective careers, OBJ with NYG/CLE, vs. Sammy with BUF/LAR/KC, and Sammy is still the better receiver, in catch%, yds/cth, even games started. And Sammy had Tyrod Taylor, EJ Manuel and K. Orton throwing to him for most of his time in BUF.
But I'm good with putting this aside for now. [Reply]

Lol it’s Wednesday dude.
If he’s not practicing tomorrow and Friday then sure, but DNP on Wednesday means nothing regardless of whether it’s been a couple weeks or not. [Reply]

I hear ya. I'm not necessarily saying I think OBJ is the better receiver. That's debatable. I'm just saying if this season goes south you have to make some changes to the roster and invigorate some energy into that locker room. Id think WR2 would potentially be the first place they look considering the contract situation there.
Sammy is gonna wreck shit yet again in the playoffs. I love where we stand. Moot point at the moment. [Reply]
