Cleveland Browns fans are exhausted.
By virtue of the Los Angeles Rams winning the NFC Championship with Odell Beckham Jr. on the roster, the Browns are going to be discussed in the lead-up to the Super Bowl.
Not only will they be discussed, but they will also be ridiculed and laughed at for the handling of OBJ’s situation during the season.
The latest media expert to weigh in is former Ram and Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk.

One Side Of The Story
According to Faulk, OBJ seamlessly fits into the Rams in a system that is filled with stars.
The Rams figured out a way to get him involved.
Faulk said in Cleveland where they lacked some of the star power, the Browns could not get the ball to OBJ.
To an outsider, that certainly seems to be true.
The Rams are a passing offense which is more suitable to OBJ’s style and game.
In Cleveland, the running game takes precedence.
It is a different offense.
Were people laughing at OBJ last year when the Browns got to the playoffs without him?
We do not yet know what was going on in the Browns locker room this season; we may never know.
McAfee Had A Good Point
Pat McAfee gave a round of applause to Odell Beckham Sr. and says he deserves a ring if the Rams win the Super Bowl.
Maybe he deserves a cut of the bonus money OBJ is getting also.

Because the Browns’ issues with OBJ hit a boiling point after Beckham Sr.’s 11 minute Instagram video, there is some truth in what McAfee is saying.
Silence From Browns Front Office
Browns players have openly encouraged OBJ and wished him luck in this Super Bowl.
However, there has been silence from Andrew Berry, Kevin Stefanski, and Baker Mayfield.
Stefanski is not on social media, and Mayfield picked the right time to take a social media hiatus so it is doubtful we will hear anything from either of them or Berry again about OBJ.
Browns’ media was not called on during OBJ’s Tuesday press conference so there was no way to bring it up or discuss it.
Odell Beckham Jr. has yet to address the mess he left behind in Cleveland or what went wrong. None of the #Browns reporters on yesterday's Zoom call was called upon to ask a question during his Super Bowl availability.

The connection between Jarvis Landry and OBJ 🥺 pic.twitter.com/pBkdFd1KfR

Arguably that was not the time or place for it, but with Jarvis Landry jumping into the press conference, there was an opening for Browns-related questioning.
Browns fans might as well expect this line of thinking whether the Rams win or lose the Super Bowl.
The Browns need to prepare for 2022 using all of these naysayers’ words to motivate them on the path to success.

People have not been laughing ‘with’ Faulk his whole ‘career’ either
Obj turned his back on his team mates in cleveland .thinking only of himself and his glory.those players in cleveland backing Obj are stupid and they can go also.
Shut up🤦🏾♂️
Marshall Faulk Shut up.whst have you done
You’re dumb af to even ask that. Browns are garbage.
If you don’t know what he has done. Then you need to look that up. He is a hall of famer speaking the truth. I am a browns fan, and I will say it. It was not OBJ. It’s Baker Mayfield. He sucks. A lot of us call him Basic Mayfield.
Won. Super in 99 all pro 6 times probowl alot of times frist team 3 x
How sucks
Bahah mahd brownies fans.
Why don’t you go and take that mediocre so called quarterback with you. Stupid!
Lol……The Browns suck always will suck. If the Browns want to be a contender, they need to get rid of Baker Mayfield
Ignorance at the highest level
So untrue. Let’s see you out there with a banged up shoulder, knee and foot. Instead of complaining on your butt in your chair
Baker wasn’t helping the team out there banged up, Keenum was brought in by the Browns because he knows the system, fact is Bakers selfishness cost the browns from possibly winning more games in 2021.
If he was so hurt he should’ve have sat instead of hurting the team with horrible play
They need to get rid of baker and the haslims
Mayfield is full of it…..That’s why his initials are BM
Why we blaming beckham for bakers short comings
WOOF WOOF LOVE MY BROWNS🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Haaa😂😂😂
U must not have seen video
Every Man is responsible 4 His OWN Destiny 💪
OBJ would have been out of Football if. He stayed n Cleveland..
Now Bout 2 get the RONG😂🤣😭
Rong???
Dude Baker Mayfield was his QB. He was useless in Cleveland. Don’t play dumb.
I agree,u just wait till something goes wrong in LA and it will be the same,it ok obj just call daddy and he will take care if it.
I would to if I had a reckless quarterback trying to end my career by throwing passes in traffic and trying to get me injured, are you serious????
Byween the numbers on a 4 th and 1 and he dropped it.Daddy must have told him to , I’m glad that crybaby and his little daddy are gone . Give it time he will have a bad game and his dad and himself will want out of LA , He is a cancer that will spread wherever he and DADDY goes
Maybe the players in Cleveland know something we don’t and that’s why they’re congratulating OBJ. It’s a business!! Teams aren’t loyal to players. Why should players be loyal to teams?
That’s a true statement
Baker Mayfield was a bum when he got drafted. What a waste, they should have drafted Josh Allen 🙄
How did he turn his back on his team? What did he do that was wrong?
Agreed! I saw a player who didn’t give a full effort while here in Cleveland! I don’t know how you praise a teammate who quit on you!! By the way what happened to his sore shoulder???
He’s a hall of famer and his career is better than browns whole history
I’m an OBJ fan but that’s going a bit far…before making a statement like that, realize the Browns have more Championship wins than ANY OTHER team in football…9. They had the “measuring stick”, Jim Brown play for them. Practically all running backs use him as a measuring stick as to how good you are. As I said before, I’m an OBJ fan and I’m glad to see he did well. Our coaching staff didn’t know how to use him. OBJ did the same thing Stephon did with the Vikings. He complained about getting cardio, because that’s all a big play receiver will EVER do in a Stephanski run offense, is do cardio. They DAMN sure won’t get the ball. OBJ wasn’t the problem, I’m not even sure a “healthy” Baker is the problem, but I have seen 2 big play receivers do ANY AND EVERYTHING to get out of Strphanki’s offense.
Tbh Faulk is an all time great
It will all go away, when Joe Brrr and the Bengals beat the Rams. Lol
Seems like everyone who gets out of Cleveland dose good else were?
Has OBJ sat out yet, did the shoe antic and gotten over his dropsies?
Wow, reporters looking to diss the Browns. Where were they when OBJ refused to run the proper routes or purposely dropped passes to force a trade, just remember, carma is a bitch
Odell has nothing but good Karma coming his way, it was the Browns who got rid of him on some low key bias stuff do to his “ethnicity”, making it seem like Odell was the problem l when Baker is just I st not that good of a quarterback…
Wow, didn’t take long to take this into the mud. You are BRILLIANT. Do the Browns have issues- absolutely but they did beat the Bengals twice.
Ethnicity? Where the hell did that come from? Nevermind
How do you know he wasn’t running the correct routes? But one thing we do know he was open and was never thrown the ball unless he was in traffic and about to get crushed by the opposing teams Safety and Corners. Face it Baker is awful, he just slings the football. No finesse and/or touch on his passes…
Hahaha you butt hurt huh lmao
Not even Beckham could catch the knuckleballer passes Mayfield threw.
The Browns will improve when they approach a football mentality.
The baseball players in the front office need to go. And the knuckleballer Mayfield too.
Let’s play football.
Right on
Here we go all the naysayers let me say one thing obj was the Browns only number one wide receiver Mandy’s great as the number to the rat guy the guy who gets the first down that’s what he does that’s all that he is he’s not he’s not a burner you can’t even get Keiko on 101 and be a 50/50 Bug Guy against the number one cornerbacks he’s got speed number to Baker had a bad year last year he was injured a lot still injured give you one more year get a number one in free agency get another draft pick cuz ladies like going to be here next year Baker will have no one of quality to throw to yes the guy who created great running game they do have that but got to be able to throw the ball to that’s all I had to say
He’s not a number 1. He hasn’t been since cankle surgery. He’s doing fine behind Kupp. He’s not the same player he was in 2016. He’s had 1 100 yard game in his time with the Rams and only 2cgames over 60 yards. He’s being covered by nickles and dimes. It’s hilarious any acting like he’s anything more then a wing man at this point. Doesn’t have a clue. Some dumb team is going to throw money at him and will be let down in the end.
What the f are you even saying? How can you write like this? It is so jumbled up no one knows what your point was lmao
Have you ever heard of punctuation and grammar?
I wish OBJ & The browns nothing but the best obj just got the best of this move first Brows still have a great team to go out an compete for a championship.
The only problem that I’m having a hard time understanding is ppls keep saying OBJ quick on the team no the organization quick on him see here the difference between a winning & losing organization The Patriots Bill never once made TB12 feel like he was better than the other 52 guys in the Locker room Baker wife all season defended her husband on social media not once did anyone have a problem with her OBJ father goes out to actually defend his son against the media because he got tired of hearing his son has lost it he’s bringing Baker down when you watch video he showing that’s no matter what’s being said OBJ is still playing hard he’s open just not getting the ball great QB knows how to get the ball to great WR maybe Baker just haven’t gotten to that level just yet but I believe he will someday.
I just wish ppls would stop saying OBJ is selfish he’s a bad teammate all I’m saying is simple if you don’t have a problem with your QB calling out team or the coach because he wants to win then it’s noway anybody should have a problem with OBJ because all he want to do is win but ppls call him selfish because he want to win just like The QB the organization chose a side an once they did it sent the wrong message to the rest of the locker room see once they tried to paint a message that he was the problem guy within that locker room is showing you now he wasn’t the problem by supporting him. 53 guys inside the locker room is a brotherhood if you want to Know if OBJ quick on the team the locker room will be the first to tell you he quick on us. AB quick on his team an a few player let’s him know it right away.. Think about that
A lot of what youre sayin is moot, he had been asking for a trade for some time. He didnt want to play against the Chiefs and he told players not to come here. So, theres that
What the f*** is quick on his team????
Marshall Faulk wow what a career
Baker wasn’t helping the team out there banged up, Keenum was brought in by the Browns because he knows the system, fact is Bakers selfishness cost the browns from possibly winning more games in 2021.
This is true. He did not want to succeed in Cleveland. He thought he was too good for them. I watched him drop passes and then had Daddy to take to Social Media to lay all blame on Baker so he wouldn’t be the one whining and he got his wish and to watch how he is once again catching those passes is disappointing
Everyone is laughing at the Browns and deservedly so. Odell Beckham was WIDE-OPEN all the time and Baker Mayfield never threw him the ball. Outside of Cleveland, everyone thinks Baker Mayfield is TRASH! Pacman Jones formerly of the Bengals said that he hopes the Browns sign Baker to a 5-year contract extension. When other teams and their fans love your QB, then he’s NOT the guy! Now, the same people who wanted the Browns to get rid of OBJ are the same people screaming that the Browns need to get receivers! Because the top 5 roster that Baker was given as a supporting cast wasn’t enough. He needs the unquestioned, undisputed BEST roster in football or it is unreasonable to expect him to play watchable football. It’s EMBARRASSING! Baker Mayfield is an EMBARRASSMENT to Cleveland!
When OBJ first got traded to Cleveland he asked a reporter ” How do I get out of Cleveland”. That’s says all you need to know.
OBJ looks open on his dad’s video, but did he run the correct route? If Baker looks for him do run a 15 down and in and OBJ decides to run a go route Baker’s not going to see him down field.
People need to realize that a QB don’t have all day to look for recievers. The reciever better be where is suppose to be or the QB is going to his next read.
I remember Mayfield throwing an interception that looked like the pass was short. After getting traded Stafford threw an interception intended for OBJ that got intercepted. It was thrown short. Looked identical to the throw Mayfield threw. I was thinking that on both occasions that they were to be ” back shoulder” throws. OBJ don’t stop and turn instead keeps running down field wanting that T.D. Both throws looked short and were intercepted.
Cleveland had no choice but to release him, after all he ask for a trade before the season but no body wanted him with that big contract.
He’s not a number 1 receiver , Cupp gets double teamed all the time and still gets way more yardage.
But hey , at least OBJ didn’t get taken down by the Browns kicking net.
If it’s Brown, flush it down!
HMMM,your owners name is Brown,just saying
Let’s start this off OBJ if he wins or doesn’t he still got further and made more money then any of the Browns .Ever since the Haslams bought the team it’s been a disaster. He bought them to make money and they done just that they are worth almost double from when he bought it and has fleeced the fans accordingly.Until the fans show him we won’t show until there is a winning franchise it will not happen and the analytics will bring in cheap players and just enough to be a middle of the road team. Proof we don’t need kickers, real coaches or offensive line just grab some body fill and go. Baker needs to get better instead of grandstanding and playing on social media he leads the league in batted down balls he’s happy feet does nothing but get him picked off ect ect Stefanski also needs to check ego at the door his play calling and time management suck So the dog pound of dismay is here to stay until fans stop giving $$$ to Pilot J
Marshall is an idiot with a microphone.bechome refused to play run routes be a football player at all….
Best play in Super Bowl was they dropped pass and knee grab,made my evening.
If you are completely honest with yourself. Baker Mayfield is the problem. I do think its overboard with Jarvis Landry being so pro Obj. I do expect him to no longer be with the browns this year. Also Andrew Berry is not without blame signing Hooper to that contract and having two tes that are better. Enough of this obj mess its over. The browns with a different QB are good enough to win the north. If you look at the Bengals scheduke they got very lucky on at least three games they won. Dont be surprised to see them be average this year. Things have a way of balancing them selves out. Ask the 20 21 Browns!
OBJ is obviously a spoiled rotton diva and the worst one the Browns have had since Aundre Rison . I laughed every time I seen making a catch, pulling one hand down so he could make his famous diva one handed catch. Good pick up Rams..
You should look beyond the present. The BROWNS dominated The NFL for years. They didn’t become a bad team until Art Modell took over as owner.
Baker Mayfield LED THE LEAGUE in interceptions the past 4 years ,even before he got hurt.but dumb folks wanna blame everybody else for the teams problems. Thats IGNORANCE! I wish you all would stop kissing his ass like he’s so special. He’s a privileged PUNK who tried to run from the police in college and his decision making translates to the dumb ass throws he makes on the football field..
The last paragraph is the one…… Use it as motivation in 2022.
Has OBJ sat out yet, did the shoe antic and gotten over his dropsies?
OBJ was smart 👌 he went to a team with a good quarterback and Baker Mayfield is a bum who will never win a Super Bowl 🏈 It’s time to move on !
Hue Jackson is horrible shouldn’t be a coach he is worst head coach I’ve ever seen needs to take some blame but he’s horrible
I’m a Browns fan and I’m going to say this as I said from day 1, Baker is not the QB everybody thought he was,There are better Qb’s out there and to be honest he misses a lot of open players and he can’t see down the Field unless he sitting in the press box.We could’ve picked a better QB my opinion..
