The OBJ Problem: Who’s Fault Is It?

Think back to last March when you first heard the news that the Cleveland Browns had traded with the New York Giants to obtain Odell Beckham Jr. Do you remember how excited you were? It seems as though it was an instant ticket to the playoffs and the sky was the limit.

Baker Mayfield was coming off a great rookie season in which he broke several records, and the Browns had the man calling the plays, Freddie Kitchens, as their new head coach. Unlimited potential and excitement filled the air.

However, things don’t always work out as planned, do they? 13 weeks into the season OBJ only has 59 catches on 108 targets for 844 yards and 2 touchdowns. The yards aren’t too bad, but the lack of catches and touchdowns has everyone really concerned and disappointed.

Not exactly what fans expected when they sent away a starting safety in Jabril Peppers, a first round pick (17) and a pro bowl caliber linemen in Kevin Zeitler.

So, this begs the question to be asked, who’s fault is it? As well as, can it be salvaged? We have three options for you to choose from and we ask that you do so in the comment section on page four. Spoiler alert, none of the options are the medical team or the fans.
