Cleveland Browns News: Is Odell Beckham still relevant?
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including one person asking if Odell Beckham, Jr. is still relevant
Odell Beckham, Jr. has been criminally underutilized with the Cleveland Browns which has some people — such as Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report — questioning his relevance.
To Freeman’s credit, he doesn’t believe that to be the case but he still asks the question because of the lack of impact the young wideout is making with the Browns.
That’s become a hot topic as of late, especially after Baker Mayfield didn’t look his way on arguably the most important pass of the season. Making things worse, he had a step on his guy on said play.

"“Yes, he remains one of the most electric, talented and deadly receivers the game has ever seen. But his head coach is overmatched, his quarterback is inaccurate, and he plays for one of the worst franchises in football. And it has raised the very real possibility that Beckham may end up as one of the greatest examples in football history of wasted talent.”"
It’s clear Freeman doesn’t really think OBJ is irrelevant, but the question is asked due to the way the Browns have misused him. Hopefully the frustration he has shown lately will turn into the team forcing him the ball early — because they need to.
"“I think people had this picture-perfect thing that it was going to be sunshine and rainbows and he was going to have a whole lot of one-on-ones,’’ Mayfield said Wednesday. “It’s Odell Beckham. He’s going to have double coverage. We have to find ways to format things to get him the ball and force-feed him early on to where he can make an impact before we can have the perfect look to give him a shot play.’’"
Baker is right that there was no reason to think there would be no bumps in the road, but the fact is, this team has been awful about getting OBJ the ball. That has to change if they want to gain any respectability this season.
