N/S - Bills: Odell Beckham a prima donna (1 Viewer)

[Begotten]

Found this pretty interesting..

The Buffalo Bills were called for 17 penalties on Sunday in a sloppy loss to the Giants, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by linebacker Preston Brown for mixing it up with Odell Beckham.

Brown says he was only responding to an unwarranted punch from Beckham, while other Bills defenders called Beckham a "prima donna" and a "golden boy," according to Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News.

"I don't know what's up with him," Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore said. "He acts like ... you're supposed to let him catch the ball. He's weird. He gets mad when you play physical with him. He's weird."

Gilmore said that Beckham didn't handle physical play very well. That showed up in his actions and his lack of production; Beckham was held to 38 yards.

"He's different," Gilmore said. "It's kind of like you're playing your little brother and he gets mad at you for being too physical with him -- throwing a tantrum. I'm like, 'Man, we're playing football. It's a physical game.' ... He's a prima donna. He feels like he's on top of the world and nobodys supposed to do anything to him."

Brown said he tried to play peacemaker after one play, and Beckham threw a punch at him. At that point, Brown retaliated and was penalized. Dunne writes that Beckham also punched safety Duke Williams later in the game. Williams didn't retaliate.

"A guy like that, you expect him to be a stand-up guy but I guess it is a part of his game," Williams said. "He likes to throw cheap shots here and there and gets away with it. I guess it's his thing. ... Right in front of the referee and he threw a jab at me and ran behind his teammates. He ran away. I'm just like, 'Wow. That's crazy.' "

Gilmore said that the world doesn't know "what type of player" Beckham really is, saying he's only "alright" as a receiver. (Chris Wesseling would disagree.)

"I don't really watch TV and listen to the hype. I study guys on the film and then I judge him," Gilmore said. "He's not Sammy Watkins. He has good hands, he can catch. He's good but he's not what people think after that one catch."

Which is why I said from day 1

Beckham may be the supreme talent to Cooks but ill take Cooks make up over his any day.

Said this when it he got upset in the off season for some teammates laughing at him because of not practicing over his hamstring issue.

Cooks is the better Pro.

Simple

Cooks has done absolutely nothing to prove he's better than Beckham or even Kenny Stills. I guarantee if Beckham played for the the Saints and Cooks played for the Giants your opinion would change.

Guarantee huh?

 

[efil4stnias]

17 called penalties and OBJr is the one with the discipline issues???

That's a Rex Ryan team for sure.

 

[saints4life25]

Saw the video of him throwing a punch. OBJ is my guy. I expected better.

 

[Eman5805]

A prima donna wide receiver? Who'd a thunk it?

Seriously??

OBJ is still young and time will tell which of the two will be better players but I don't know anyone who would take Cooks over Beckham. He's more physically talented and has showed more at this point. Being the ROY in NY would stroke anyone's ego, and several great WRs have exhibited hollywood tendencies.

Plus he's a local guy.

 

[El Caliente]

I still think that Landry can have the better career. Poor guy is just stuck in a crap situation.

 

[OutlawSaint]

Former LSU player or not... I hope we put Browner on him so Browner can be physical all day and hopefully frustrate OBJ to the max. Maybe Breaux can do the same too.

 

[UTSaintsFan]

He definitely threw a punch; it was a right cross to the chin. It was pretty weak, but I guess that's not really the point.

What a punk lol now other teams are gonna know to be super physical with him in order to throw his game off.

I don't. Browner won't be able to get a hand on OBJ, and when he doesn't touch a guy he's useless. Guys, this dude is ELITE. OBJ is the real deal. I know the B&G glasses are comfy, but let's not get carried away. Cooks is not even in the same building as OBJ. Prime time Colston isn't as good as OBJ is now. He has the best hands in the league and is running the best routes, too. He get's out of his breaks faster than he goes into them. It's incredible. The only person better than him right now is Julio. And I'd have AJ Green right behind those two.

That said, he is a diva. No way around that. I get that isn't the most desirable trait. But, he's just running his mouth. It's not like he's beating women or drunk driving or killing anyone. Give me OBJ all day everyday please and thank you. You don't have to like him personally if you don't want to ( I honestly don't like him that much), but you have to respect his game.

EDIT: okay yea that sucker punch video was B*tch made. I see the point. But whatever, he's young. I'd still take him. Just like I'd still take Steve Smith on this team.

Elite players should be able to put up more than 38 yards against any team. Yet he couldn't do it against the Bills who are good on defense but c'mon, 38 yards?
