Two good years.....YET, he's RELEASED by one of the worst teams in league....from ONE-TOP OF THE HEAP to waiver wire....WOW, the mighty have fallen. JMHO, small, over-achiever, who the NFL has figured out.
"You've never lived till you've almost died, life has a flavor the protected will never know" A vet or cop
Most ridiculous thing about Carolina is thinking Sam freaking Darnold is any good. All the talk that draft year, iirc, was Allen, Rosen, Darnold and Mayfield. Only Allen wasn’t a bust.
JMHO, Rosen has to be considered biggest bust, HE did NOTHING....and he was SO cocky coming out of college....again, feel sorry for these guys....why, they got paid more money than average man makes in decades just for their....POTENTIAL.

I don't think he is "good." I think that they believe he is not as bad as Baker.

And the decision to move on from him was made almost instantly after he began to play. It wasn't about adding more weapons around him..... It was cutting ties and run!
I think he goes to a team that has lost its starter for the year And they are out of the playoff hunt. That team I think is the L.A Rams. They have nothing to play For the rest of the season. Stafford might retire. The front office mortgaged so much of their future They can't land a top college QB. So Baker fits. He will be very cheap and the Rams have a vet behind Wolford
Especially a backup QB. I mean, we all see how important they are. I think his starting days are over, but he can be a backup for a long time if he’s willing
"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."
This isn't player news but it's worthy of posting yet I didn't see the need for a new thread.....
Titans fire general manager Jon Robinson
The Tennessee Titans are firing general manager Jon Robinson, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday.
The team has since announced the news.
"Since becoming controlling owner in 2015, my goal has been to raise the standard for what is expected in all facets of our organization," Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. "I believe we have made significant progress both on and off the field through investments in leadership, personnel and new ideas. This progress includes the core of our business, the football team itself, which is regularly evaluated both by results (wins and losses) and team construction/roster building. I am proud of what we have accomplished in my eight seasons of ownership, but I believe there is more to be done and higher aspirations to be met.
"I want to thank Jon for his dedicated work to set this organization on an upward trajectory and I wish him and his family the best."
Ryan Cowden, the Titans vice president of player personnel, will take over GM duties going forward as the team begins a comprehensive search following the 2022 season.
Around the NFL will have more on this story shortly.

The Rams are desperate. They know he has a very limited upside or he has already Reached his ceiling as a QB. I hope the 65 Rams fans in attendance Will enjoy his 16 of 27 156 yds and 2 INTs stat lines Baker has been with 3 teams In less than a year. That's very telling. Can't believe how many on here cried when the Browns moved on from him
That might be the best spot he could have landed for him. He has a chance to start now as a backup and the opportunity to compete for the starting job going forward. Stafford is almost out of gas so that they will be looking for the next QB1 soon.
I'm glad to know you've spoken with Sean McVay and know how he views Baker Mayfield. Tell him I said thanks for his evaluation.
Sean McCoy's system is dependent on QBs that can deliver The ball without the benefit of max protection So it's puzzling he is bringing in a QB that wilts when his pocket Isn't perfect . I know one thing .this the 1st time he has had a midget for a QB. As Goff and Stafford are taller QBs that can see above the LOS. McVay will have to tinker with the playbook to accommodate Mayfiekds lack of height Maybe he can put lifts in his cleats
The Rams are a mess on offense. Their OL sucks and they have major injuries. It’s crazy that 10 months ago they won the title and this year they’re a bottom 5 team

Really? Losing your #1 WR, your #2 still out on injury, major OL injuries and poor play, and RB injuries creates a mess with your offense resulting in uncharacteristic losses? Imagine that......................

OBJ has been on a tour of teams that are courting him. Giants, Bills, Cowboys. Chiefs are also interested. He wants to go to a team that can win the Super Bowl. Rams are not in that category this year.
The news on the status of his injured knee is not good and he might have to wait until next year to sign w/a team. And that is assuming his knee will be good enough to go by then. OBJ won't go to a team w/Baker on it.
Then again, I wonder if Baker will even be in the league next year? Only one team put a claim in on the guy who is the best qb since Joe Montana? LMAO
OBJ's Selfish 'Delay Of Plane Penalty' A Warning For NY Giants
Tigers don't change their stripes. Just like selfish people don't often change. It happens but not often. So, when former New York Giant, Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off a plane on Sunday morning for nothing more or less than complete selfish behavior, red flags should have been flying for Big Blue general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
According to a statement by the Miami-Dade police department as reported by ESPN.com, "The flight crew was concerned for a passenger [Mr. Odell Beckham], as they tried to wake him to fasten his seat belt, he appeared to be coming in and out of consciousness, prior to their departure," the police statement said. "Fearing that Mr. Beckham was seriously ill, and that his condition would worsen through the expected 5 hour flight, the attendants called for police and fire rescue.
Upon the officers arrival, the flight crew asked Mr. Beckham several times to exit the aircraft, which he refused." There was nothing physically wrong with OBJ. He just didn't want to put his seat-belt on. Yes, professional athletes and stars can be temperamental and often seen as selfish. However, allowing that behavior to delay a plane for two hours while families are trying to get home from the holidays is unconscionable. Making everyone on the plan de-board because "you" don't want to buckle your seat-belt, is business as usual for OBJ. During his run as a New York Giant, this sort of behavior was all too familiar.
As the free agent wide receiver began his tour of potential landing spots on Sunday with his plane act, the Giants, who truly need a wide receiver, should be reminded that ownership, management and the fanbase couldn't wait until OBJ was gone. They felt the same way in Cleveland, all based on the same behavior he displayed Sunday morning on a plane with hundreds of helpless passengers. Now he sports a Super Bowl LVI ring from last year's run with the Los Angelas Rams. Notice, Rams head coach Sean McVey didn't make a big push to keep the wide receiver around and try to have him avoid free agency.
Odell Beckham Jr. is a very talented individual. However, he is far more an 'individual' than he has ever been a 'teammate.' Yes, All-Pro linebacker, Von Miller wants OBJ to join him in Buffalo for another run at a ring but remember one thing, Beckham was damaged goods when he signed with the Rams following his outright release by the Cleveland Browns. OBJ needed to resurrect his career.
Beckham did that during that Super Bowl run with Los Angelas but that was a span of two months. OBJ is a talented selfish player that the New York Giants need but really have to avoid. Let's not forget OBJ driving the bus over a possible Hall of Famer, Eli Manning. He'd drive a tank over Daniel Jones and anyone else that stood in the way of his whims. A big red flag flew in the air on Sunday and the Giants have been warned.

First off, who is Sean McCoy? I guess you must feel that McVay doesn't understand football or QB's as well as you do. To each their own.
Sean McVay. I stand corrected. But I do understand that Sean McVay is so desperate for a QB, he is signing a QB With the lowest QBR rating out 512 qualifying QBs since The inception of that metric in 2006.
McVay must really suck then, right? Do you mean lowest this season or over the course of his career? Sometimes people use stats in ways that are very misleading.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Glad he got picked up. No idea how good or bad LA are this year or if he sees much playing time. Be interesting to see if he is as bad as his Panthers play.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
