I agree that Ju-Ju is a talented WR. But when you go from the #2 WR on a team to the #1 WR on a team, you get a lot more attention. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. No other Steelers WR on their roster will draw the attention that Antonio Brown did. That attention will now be on Ju-Ju. The underlying point this above post makes, Is something I've been trying to say For Twenty Years.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Of interest to note in that link, device, is the entire paragraph on Hopkins. It all now applies to OBJ as well. He no longer has to worry about balls that aren't on target or slightly underthrown; he should see a lot more come his way in stride.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

I agree purp ... this is probably his dream scenario in terms of QB accuracy
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

At the professional level I don't see that way.
These guys are getting paid a lot of money to catch the ball. I equate it to a field goal kicker. They should not miss forty and under field goals if the hold is right and the blocks are made.
Routine grounders for an infielder, fly balls to the outfield.
If the pass is there a professional should make the catch.

I think that it is both funny and wrong that they chose April Fool's Day to do the formal, official introduction. I think it's even funnier that you banned me last year on April fools day for creating a thread that said Odell Beckham Jr. was traded to the Browns for Corey Coleman, our #4 pick and a 2nd round pick. I got some of you guys good with that one. Call me a soothsayer. I used that in several text thanks

Watching that video I couldn't help to think about what this guy can do with an accurate throw. He gets the separation, if he is hit in stride, he can be gone.
With the sureness Baker seems to have when throwing, if he and Beckam get in sync, it could be amazing.
This guy beats most coverage, he is unique.
Landry and Calloway got to be fired up. They are going to be open a lot.
If the Oline stays intact, it is going to be hard to stop this offense.
RIP, Jim

Top signing: Odell Beckham Jr. The Browns have gone from the laughing stock of the NFL to having valid aspirations for the AFC North title and then some in a few short years. Adding one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, in Beckham Jr., only strengthens those aspirations. Since entering the league in 2014, OBJ ranks fifth among qualifying wide receivers in PFF grade, trailing only Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, and Michael Thomas. He’s especially dynamic after the catch; only Golden Tate and new/old teammate Jarvis Landry have more missed tackles forced since 2014. Most importantly for Odell, he will be playing with easily the best quarterback of his career in Baker Mayfield. In his rookie season, Mayfield recorded an 84.5 overall grade. Manning’s best grade since 2014? 70.9. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-predictions-for-every-nfl-teams-best-signing
The more things change the more they stay the same.

I think Landry is a top 10-12 WR in football, but I didn't include him because I thought it would start another argument. LOL I was watching the clip called, "All Mayfields throws" or something like that and I noticed just about anything thrown in the area around Landry somehow gets caught.. Then I watched clips of OBJ and low and behold, I noticed the same thing.. If the QB can get the ball close, he makes the catch. It's almost as if all you need to do is change the Uni number and I couldn't really tell much of a difference between them (well, not exactly, but damn it's close) One thing I did notice however is that Mayfield is way more accurate.. He just puts most of his throws in a better place... So the conclusion I came to was that OBJ is the better receiver because balls thrown to him aren't located as well as those thrown to Landry. That looks like a problem that could be solved..... Man I'd hate to be opposing defenses...

They do have similar characteristics in that they both are superb route runners, have excellent hands, and are good after the catch. And you're right that Baker is a far better qb than Manning has been in recent years.

I really think OBJ is going to love working with Mayfield...

Man, I really think it's a crime to not have Hopkins as a top 5 WR. That guy makes some of the best catches week in and week out. His in air body control is second to none, he NEVER drops the ball...he LITERALLY did not drop a single pass in all of 2018.....
OBJ, Julio (who I thought was on decline, but proved me wrong), AB and Hopkins.

Exciting times.
When you look at Garrett, Landry, Odell, and Baker the heart starts pumping.
The moldy past his history. Today is a gift that is why they call it the present.
The burn is about winning. That is what the driving force will be behind Freddie.
No BS. I want your best every day. I will give my best. I want yours.
By the time opening day happens the whole town will be like a pack of rabid dawgs.

I guess I thought I was dreaming until I listened to Freddie and then seeing Baker, Landry, Odell and Garrett setting together … I now realize it's not a dream but real and this team is going to hard for anyone to beat if they play as Freddie said a TEAM

Think of the defensive issues it would cause. Myles on the field, connected to 3 guys on the bench, no one is getting around that side of the field.

To each his own, but Baker would look better by trimming his down to 1/4". Maybe 5/8" tops.

Think about this: The Browns had 4 of their young superstars featured today with the OBJ introduction. They also could have had Chubb, Ward, and Randall up there, as well. Maybe by next off-season, we'll hold Callaway, Njoku, and Hunt (if he stays out of trouble) in similar regard. Plus, who knows what other players we'll add by then?
